Bishop Warren Gathers Inspiration From
Earth and Sky

Eartn ana SKY
ECHO MOUNTAIN, Sept. 29.---Uan the
Methodists be jolly? Have they any fun
bottled up under the cloth? Are they
able to crack joke and parry home
thrust? Take the brethren when they
are off guard, when they are rambling
like boys and girls among the hills, when
all clerical restraint is thrown to the
winds, and then look out Tor fusilade
of wit and sparkle and repartee.
Whole-souled, good natured, hearty
and responsive were the good brothers
day, carload after carload, and when they
arrived at Echo Mountain they did not
stop, but looking longingly to the cliffs
that becokned them from above. they
started right off over the alpine division
and flew (no figure of speech, much of
the time they were betwixt earth and
heaven) like birds, along the frowning
cliffs till they were in che cool shades of
the oak and pine forest.
Returning with shnrpened appeSites to
the hotel, they gathered on the yeranda
and watched such play of sunset fires
over earth and sea and sky as was never
revealed to mortal eyes before. 1t had so
filed the soul of Bishop Warren that
when he invoked the divine blessing up
on the hundred and twenty assembled
guests in the dining room he used these
inspired words, Holy, holy, holy, Lord
God Almighty, the strength of the hills
is thine; we thank Tnee for vision, for
light and unutterable glory of mountain
and sunset, and earth and sky are Thine.
But Thou hast given them to us for our
10y and blessedness. Accept our mex
pressible gratitude in the name of the
Beloved--amen."
As the happy excursionists returned
after nightfall. they emerged from the
dark shadows of Rubio canyon to have
their way down the foothills illuminated
by the sc arch light. So in his brilliant
sermon at the OVERLOOKING tabernacle in
Pasadena this morning, Bishop Warren
said there had been an exposition at
Chicago, whence came the search light
which illumines your city from the
mountains. But" said he. "thers Ia to
be greater exposition in which the
whole world will be represented. What
work have you to exhibit on that great
ocoasion?" He said the unit in the con-
struction of house is a brick. 2xdXS.
What are the bricks with which the AL
mighty built Echo mountain? You may
rule 112, 900 lines on the breadth Of one
inch; so fine good glass and perfect Wis.,
ion are necessary to perceive them. Are
they the ultimate bricks? Those ridges,
the SS3,UUUtn VI MI luCn apart are AlES
and Apprentices compared to the stones
OF which they are built up. Ths atoms
whicn make the majestic mountains
masses are less than the 5000, booth of an
inch in diameter.
