Angels and Women (1924)

TEBAH AND ITS INMATES 227
the Holy One comes to me. I can pierce
the cloud of futurity and see the majestic but
awful pageant of human life move down the
path of time-onward, resting never, merged
in the ocean of Infinity l
"The sons of Japheth are a little band; the
band increases to a tribe, the tribe becomes
mighty nations. Like a whirlwind they
sweep toward the West. Their sons are
mighty warriors. None more fair than the
daughters of Japheth. I hear the noise of
battle, the thunder of engines of war! Javan
and Tubal emblazoned on hostile banners.
Alas that sons of mine should meet in mortal
combat. Still the power of the serpent
prevails, setting brother against brother.
The children of Javan obtain universal sway
--another mighty conflict and Elam arises
to rule the world. 1 Again the world is
drenched in blood, a people of a small country
but mighty in deeds of war wrench the
dominion from the children of Shem.
