10 inc summit! A sermon is all
right in its place and at the right
time, but all I'm interested in now ia
getting out Of this wilderness onto
the summit of safety" The Bishop
then endeavored to drift into a new
moral channel, and preach sermon.
from the text: SHOW misguided men
get lost in the fog, darkness of doubt
and the bowling wilderness of inf
deity, and the deep SHOWS Of disap-
pointment, and then when ii is too
late endeavor to again regain the
nigh summit of righteousness, wander
around YEARLY, hungry and thirsty,
IN circle, and bring up again where
they started from, and finally drop
down, worn and weary, in the cold
SHOWS OF the dreary solitude, point
their toes to the zenith, gaze heaven
ward, feel their marrow freezing, and
with the oil in the lamp of hope
burned out, are embraced by the cold
arms OF Death, and their light goes
out forever" Bert shut him off,
however, before he got to sailing
smoothly on the broad, white wings
OF divine oratory, and proposed to
"move on, as his feet were getting
pretty da-dog-goned cold" Bert
started off up the ridge, and the
bishop seconded the motion, and
said: Il didn't start in to moralize
or preach sermon, but the tempta-
ton was too strong to resist, on gaz-
ing at that old, deformed pine tree.
| first observed the tree, SO that if
we find our way back here, we will
know 1.-THE tree-and will know
what course to take from here to get
to our deer. "That's so,'' says Bert.
"Neyer thought of that They
dragged their weary feet along for
two hours and knew that they ought
to have reached the summit before
that. They were not exactly lost,
but didn't precisely know where they
were, nor where they would bring
up, but they were sure they were IN
Boise county, Idaho Territory, United
States of North America. They
wandered on few steps further
and the Bishop suddenly stopped,
stood like a statue for several sec
onds, then began walking around
surveying big pine tree, and finally
broke out, with good deal of feel
ing: ebert, do you observe this old
pine tree? Cast your eyes up anc
behold it once again Bert wa:
