THE MUTABILITY OF EXISTENCE
The mutability of human existence is .again forcibly brought to at
of the great hurricane along the middle Texas < oan
Witii little warning and within the space of * few houis the prosperous
community along the shores of Corpus Christi Jiay was turned into a wjjder
ncss of destruction and desolation with the grim spectre of Death brooding
over its ruins, by forces which man cannot ferae- or forum 11 despite the
wisdom that has come to him in the uncounted centuries since the race v. „
Under the impulse of a mighty gale, the Gulf waters rose in the fury
of gigantic rage, sweeping away the puny things of Man's creation like dust
tossed by the sirocco and leaving behind a wake of Inconceivable devasta
tion and suffering.
Like a lightning stroke from the blue, the communal p. i«e and safety
Itr. joys and hopes and endeavors were laid partially or wholly desolate
Touched by the obliterating finger <ft wrathful Nature, homes where love
ar«l contentment reigned were converted into broken monuments of grief
or shattered heaps of flotsam along the spreading shores, intermingled
in many instances with the torn and battered shells of those who abode
therein In peace and happiness only a few short hours before.
The busy mart, where endeavor crystalized human hopes Into the
concrete thing for which Man longs and struggles! became a grave for shat
tered dreams and broken aspirations. Human contentment, hopes, aspira
tions and endeavors vanished in an hour or a moment like evanescent sparks
in the surge of heaving waters; leaving behind only pathetic relies of dead
and broken, things.
In one fell stroke the whole course of human affairs iJbcamc a shat
tered tangle of destruction and suffering in which the preservation of life
become the sole object of existence.
Having passed through a similar catastrophe themselves, the people
i Nome can appreciate, better than others who have boon spared kindred
disasters, the full meaning of such a dreadful visitation. like the people
• ■t Corpus Christi. they have seen the set|* rise in supreme rage and sweep
•way the things they laved and treasured. *4 By some merciful dispensation
of Providence, they were not called upon Jo feel the anguish of seeing the
mangled forms of friends and loved ones towed up in grewsome heaps along
the shore, but like the" afflicted ones of faraway Texas, they have known
what it means to stand helpless and trembling while mighty forces wrench
and tear the results of their endeavors into tangled waste.
Catastrophes like that oecuring here and in Texas leave an inef
facable impression on the lives of. all who are Involved amj, provoke wide
changes in the trend of existence of not only those who are directly effected |
but also in a general sense on the entire community and the nation in which
they occur. By disrupting the established order they create conditions,
the effect of which are felt far beyond the actual points of occurence and
change in some degree the lives of thousands aside from those who feel
the actual brunt of tlielr inflation. ^
