The Vision: The Dream

Improvement Era, vol. 17, no. 10, August 1914, p. 980

980 IMPROVEMENT ERA

dispensing or keeping liquors for serving to members constitutes

an illegal sale under the law hence, if the communities who are

;

having trouble with liquor clubs, etc., will arouse themselves, or-

ganize law and order leagues, co-operate with the officers where

possible, all blind pigs, dives, honky-tonks, clubs, etc., can be ban-

ished under the Injunction and Abatement law and the search and

seizure statute, just as fast as the officers and people will bring

the cases to. the attention of the district courts. The holding of

the Injunction over the head of a"blind-pigger"to apply anywhere

in the judicial district is the most wholesome means to making

a better citizen out of him, or driving him out of the district.

The writer will be pleased to send a brief as to the constitu-

tionality of the Injunction Law to any attorney. It has been

passed upon favorably four times by the Supreme Court of the

U. S. A pamphlet containing the law and legal blanks can be had

by anyone sending 10c in stamps to the Deseret News Book Store,

Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Vision — The Dream

O, Seeker, whose hesitant feet,

On life's way of triumph climb slowly,

God knew the long road before thee

For many patrician and lowly

Have trod it, beneath his compassionate eyes.

He foreknew the place

Where, on uplifted face

Expectant, the beam

That illumined should fail,

And the vision supernal, transcendent,

The dream should prevail.

The dream he had given,

That consciousness never quite hides:

That in the soul's inner chamber forever abides.

Abides and keeps holy

O, ye who climb slowly

God's purpose of life.

Thy dream is thy star of the morning.

The vision inherent in man,

(Like unseen yet quickening leaven)

Perfecteth his wondrous plan;

And its glory though hidden from earth

Slowly fulfils the great promise

Of the pre-existent birth.

Then while from within comes the visio'T,

Press on, for ye shall not fail

Though vast and dark forces assail

Thy soul shall follow its gleam,

Th?.t beckons to heights supreme,

For this was given the Vision;

For this was given the Dream.
