It was a rare opportunity to see the visible forward movement of Childs Glacier into the forest. A series of lobes developed, though some of them were not persistent, and at the end of these lobes the day-to-day changes were most pronounced. Ice blocks were sliding down the frontal slope some of them being rolled many feet into the forest; trees were overturned, turf and grass were ploughed up and carried on the ice of the glacier. Yet one saw and heard little of a spectacular nature while traversing the ice-front. It was an irresistible steady movement, but slow, as the movement of the hour hand of a clock is slow. As impressive as anything was to find tons of ice resting where one stood to take a photograph the day before, or to find some great tree, 100 years old, prone on the ground with the butt beneath the glacier, where the day before the tree was upright with the ice just touching it. A whole grove ... was overturned between 1909 and 1910, ... practically not a tree remaining which was not overturned or leaning. Peat bogs were rolled up in great bolsters five or six feet high. Isolated trees in the peat were pushed forward a hundred feet or more without being overturned.... In the bay east of Heather Island marine deposits with shells are being pushed up above sea-level. On the east margin of the glacier a lake was formed where there was only a marginal stream. It is evident that in ice we have an agent which in the past has played a great part in cosmic changes and cataclysms, and may do so at any time in the future. When we consider the changes in climate to which the earth is believed to be liable, owing to certain cyclic changes in the gearing of its revolving pinions, the conviction becomes stronger. It is now generally admitted that the words "Ice Age" or "Glacial Age" should be spelt with a final _s_ indicating the plural number; for if there was one there were many. What we study in the north of America and Europe is the effects of the last, or the last few, of these periodic phenomena. GOD AND THE CHILD "For in Him we live and move and have our being."--_St. Paul_ God and I in space alone And nobody else in view: "And where are the people, oh Lord," I said, "The earth below and the sky o'erhead And the dead whom once I knew?" "That was a dream," the good God said, "A dream that seemed to be true; There are no people living or dead, There is no earth and no sky o'erhead, There is only Myself--and you." "Why do I feel no fear?" I asked, "Meeting you here this way, For I have sinned, I know full well-- And is there heaven and is there a hell And is this the judgment day?" "Nay, all are but dreams," the great God said; "Dreams that have ceased to be. There is no such thing as fear or sin, There is no you and never has been-- There is nothing at all but Me."--_Selected_ POWER: by Lydia Ross, M. D.
