THE POTENT PAST by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: ALONG ITS BACKWARD TRAILING MYSTICAL ROD
Last Line: WE DRAW THE COMFORTING STRENGTH OF THE PRESENT HOUR.
Subject(s): PAST;
Along its backward trailing mystical rod
The trolley draws its hidden and wonderful power;
So from our past, with its proof of the goodness of God,
We draw the comforting strength of the present hour.
