THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA October, 1930For into His image we unconsciously blend.The mission of life is fulfilled in this end.Have you ever thought of the innumerable throng,Crowding the pathway of life along,That have cheered the ages with banners and song,That have climbed the heights and stormed the towers,Built deep the foundations, made victories ours;The countless myriads of the unseen hostWho live in achievements we prize the most?The world of greatness is not all today:The Past, the Present, the Future arrayThemselves in continuity endlessly one;The work of co-partnership has only begun.We all have a part in the work to be done.This is the Call of the World to Men.Then,Who are we our trust to fail?Are we not Keepers of the Holy Grail ?Commissioned are we as soldiers in field,To guard with our sword, defend with our shield.The call of service is to stand together.To close up our ranks in all kinds of weather.For "One Man is No Man," All Man is God's Plan."United we stand, divided we fall";One man's failure may imperil all.Each leaves record embossed on Scroll,The self-made picture of his innermost soul.So, gird we, as patriots, our armor of steel,Bonded together for common weal.The work of our fathers we'll carry through;We'll honor, protect it, as legatees true;And, as they are marching with steady tread,We'll follow their footsteps wherever led;For they are still marching, aye marching on.And we their loved banners are carrying on,Marching together, aye marching on,Marching and marching and marching onUp the highway royal—Not to end of the trail.To falter and fail.But to the Greater Life and to the Golden Dawn.[22]
