a natural gift" says Walter ]. Travis
in Country Life In America. "Of
course it can be cultivated and devel-

may be said to represent the physical

AS climbed the awful, dizzy
heights of one of the Sierra Nevadas,
by the edge Of an appalling precipice
to Glacier point, this one thought was
uppermOst in my mind. Bending and
winding we go. Up and up the sure
footed beasts carry us, higher and still
higher. Then the rocks by the side Of
the precipice grow deeper and deeper
at each step. At last we are at the
top, after a long five mile pull. Then,
by holding ON to a railing, you can hook
straight down $3.50 feet. At this al.
titude Of nearly twO-thirds Of mile !
looked straight down and saw the Mer-
ced river. 1t was not a silver thread
bending and winding among the many
trees in the valley; it was a green
snake, beautiful, but green. It's surface
reflected every shade of green, from
the darkest green, dark as Emerald
pool, to the lightest shades Of aqua
marine and chrysophrase. Yosemite
falls white garments alone have fall
of 1900 feet, or nearly One-half Of
mile. Then, while l kept looking down
into that awful precipice looking
down a palisade 50 deep that 1 seemed
to be looking into space itself-a still,
small voice seemed to talk to me.
When God called to Samuel, he called
at night To me, standing there upon
the pulpit OF Glacier point, it seemed
that he called in the daytime. That
voice was so real to my imagination
that l turned to my wife and asked,
Were you speaking?" mo; did you
hear any one taking" she replied.
Yes" l answered; Il thought l heard
a voice and that it must be the voice
of the Lord"
Then the mysterious voice seemed to
address me in these words: when you
go back to your pulpit you will walk
the stone streets of a great city. You
will climb these, the beautiful noun
tains from the tops of which you can
see the sun setting among the heaving
waves of the western Pacific. To the
east you can see the sunbeams Of the
early morning burning themselves into
the golden nuggets Of many orange or
chards. You can hear the moving ma
chimes fighting their way through the
harvest fields at your feet. But re-
member underneath you is the same
rock, the same depths Of rock, the
same immensities of rock you now see
from Glacier point in Yosemite valley.
Remember, o man. that l put those
rocks underneath thee that the waters
of the Pacific might be an aquarium
for thee and that the fields might feed
thee and thatKthy home might not be
built upon the sinking sands. Even in
the unseen rocks l am ever near thee,
loving, caring. sustaining and protect
ing my children"
Voice Of the Unseen Rocks.
Does this voice of the unseen rocks
speak to you Of Gods love. as on the
panoramic rocks seen from Glacier
point it seemed to speak to me of the
divine loveshen l stood in old Yosem-
lite?
But the heights of the hills and the
depths of the valleys Of Yosemite teach
more than tie ever present sustaining
care Of Divine Father. Those rocks I
Milford chronicle., 1905-06-30

ly work is done and you shall come tC
dwell with Christ forever"
Here the rocks seemed to be great
avalanches of snow or oyertopping gla-
ciers Of ice ready to tumble down upon
US and crush US; there they seemed
to be whole cities in ruins, as though
ten thousand Vesuyiuses had belched
forth their fires and demolished them
and then the demons had exhumed
these broken walls and destroyed
houses, just to show what awful car
mage pandemonium had wrought Here
there seemed to be huge mountains cut
in twain with the other halves thrown
away into space; there they looked
like worlds just started and then left
in a formative state, as though the
Divine Creator had gone Off and forgot
ten all about them. Here they seemed
to be unscalable heights erected as
walls about a huge prison for lost
souls. while there again, as In Sen
tinel rock, they seemed TO be signal
stations lifting themselves high above
the clouds to put us in touch with other
Of rock, these fortresses of rock, these
mighty Obelisks and pyramids Of rock. |
these great sheets of rock upon which |
God had. registered the histories Of the
ages, seemed to be object lessons. 1t |
was as though the Creator had opened |
his treasure vaults just a little that we
might peer in and see his unlimited re-
sources.
As the evening hours settled into the
night the last thought inspired by such
sublime surroundings more and more
took possession Of my soul. There as
lay upon my pillow under the shad-
ow Of Sentinel rock and gazed at FL
Captain and Washington column and
Half Dome and Grizzly peak, and while
listening to the evening lullaby of the
Yosemite falls, said to myself: IF
God wills, will try to tell to my peO-
Die the wonders of Yosemite valley. I
will try to show them that the strength
# the hills there revealed is the sym
,ol of the divine strength" The psalm
SITS words, spoken thousands of years
go. were my words in the darkness
f that night. and they are my words
ow. "The strength of the hills" or. as
he revised version puts it, THE heights
the hills are his also"
The Grent Yosemite Valley.
Great is Yosemite valley! Great in :
s heights, great its depths, great its
myths and its breadths. But, great :
