"The Scaffold of Light"

Small objects......
Weathered by the wind......
Washed by the rain......
Concealed by the earth......
Through these and other archaeological finds we have added to our knowledge of the stages of human progress......
Have erected a "scaffold of light" upon the past.
And in this light is found the oldest, yet the newest, revelation in mankind's ageless realm:
Through these objects we discover a sense of continuity,
the eternal and everlasting quality of nature......
The life span of man is but a twinkling in the vast ages
of the universe......
Then, as now, struggles, tensions, longings and fulfillments
of dreams lift man's life to new heights.
Guided by the eternal beam which gives him hope, his aspirations
glow and shine and reveal again the wonders, the strength and
the courage of all mankind.
