On Peace and Reconciliation on the Tacoma Waterfront: A mid-summer's date night dream

 
 
Wednesday is date night. The Tacoma waterfront is beautiful in the summer. We took in the new Reconciliation Park with its authentic chinese pagoda during our amble along Ruston Way. Something terrible happened in Tacoma in 1885. The park is a noble and beautiful attempt to rectify it. Our evening ended with Daisy Queen. -gw
 
 
 
The ages of its infancy and childhood are past, never again to return, while the Great Age, the consummation of all ages, which must signalize the coming of age of the entire human race, is yet to come. The convulsions of this transitional and most turbulent period in the annals of humanity are the essential prerequisites, and herald the inevitable approach, of that Age of Ages, “the time of the end,” in which the folly and tumult of strife that has, since the dawn of history, blackened the annals of mankind, will have been finally transmuted into the wisdom and the tranquility of an undisturbed, a universal, and lasting peace, in which the discord and separation of the children of men will have given way to the worldwide reconciliation, and the complete unification of the divers elements that constitute human society.
