REVIEW AND HERALD • GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS

Footprints Oh the Moon By MIRIAM WOOD . . . And now man, Created lower than the angels— But only a little lower— Has ascended to the silent moon. His footprints and his machines remain there, Mute testimony to his intellect, fashioned by God, As was the moon itself.

Unbelievably, the "giant leap." Space (where God dwells), man now claims as his own. For what purpose then? Shall he praise computer gods of his creation And say, Behold what hath Man wrought? Or, shall he kneel in wondering awe, Considering not his own faint, mortal footprints, But transfixed by God's celestial ones, Feel His throne now nearer than before?
