Mind and Man

WILLIAM COLWELL BARTLETT

Man is at one with God, his heavenly source;His consciousness, serene, can only knowThe facts divine and holy power, which flowIn union true and full unbroken courseThroughout the realm of all things real; with forceUnspent, unchecked by mortal will, yet kind,Revealing the unlabored might of MindWhich man reflects—his God-ordained resource.
