Excerpt from God and Man: A Book of Thoughts and Realities OH I 'tis a so deep, so wonderful, And yet so true, to know there was a time, If Time it may be called, when Creation Was non-existent; when no solid earth Like ours, no atmosphere, no elements Had being; and not only had this speck In God's great universe, on which we live, Ennobled by His incarnate presence.
