The Natural Bridge Is mighty mono
nth. and the story of Its building has
never been told. Under some OF the larg-
est arborvltae trees in the world the visl-

suddenly finds himself by q swift stream

full hush OF It's twilight into the conscious
presence OF the Creator. Birds. high IN
the air. fly under the wonderful arch,
and wind and waters chant eternally.
