The mountains and peaks Of the
San Juan in southwestern Colorado
present a different appearance from
any Of the northern Rockies.

ged in outline. In height, Mounts
Massive, Ebert and Blanca slightly
outrank those of the San Juan. but
nowhere else can be found whole
groups of mountains rearing their
heads to and above $4,000 feet
Mount Wilson-14.259 feet-the
dominant peak, is one OF the most
massive in the entire Rocky mountain
range Just east Of this mountain is
the remarkable traohyte obelsk called
the Lizard Head" The vivid imagina
tion OF an early pioneer who had been

The summit is l4,160 feet above the
sea. From a ponderous base the pin.
nacle rises 290 feet with a diameter at
the foot Of only about SO feet, gradual
ly tapering to less than half that at
the top.
Lizard Head has defied all attempts
OF mountain climbers to reach It's
summit The foot Of the pinnacle is
easily accomplished, but thus far the
steep sides Of the 29O-foot shaft have
proved insurmountable. No doubt the
time viii come when the venturesome
mountain climber will find a way, but
many a failure is the record OF the
past

Thus saith the Lord.7-One
cannot read the prophecy Of
Amos without being deeply i'm
pressed by the iteration and re-
iteration Of the phrase: Thus
saith the Lord
II Is at once the end Of al
argument and the limit Of human
questioning. The words thun-
der forth with a challenge to
mankind to either bow before
the message or be crushed and
destroyed BY the final judgment
Of the omnipotent will.
There is no te1porizing on
} the part Of the prophet. There
5 is no effort on his part to modify
} his message,
Dosmatisr in theology may
not be justified. But It is no
dogmatism to stand fearlessiy
and unhinehingIy upon the plain
5 declarations Of Gods word.
Why should we strive for an
emaseuIated message, when the
viaor and fire of a "Thus saith
the Lord" runs all through
Gods word, from Genesis to
] Revelation?
Two qualifications are essen
} tlaI in every preacher whom God
sends forth into his service:
! First, he must be a good listen
er, and IN the second place he
must be a faithful repeater.
How can a man deliver Gods
message save as his heart has
been still in the DIVINE pres
enee and has listened long and
lntsntly and yearninsly for the
Z voice Of God7
How dare man after he has
heard God speak, get up and
pare Gods word down to fiji the
conceptions, or, rather, the
) misconceptions, of man7
II takes the prsyerfui heart
and the humble spirit to key the
heart into unison with the Di-
vine nature and fit il TO receive
accurately the messages flashed
} forth from the throne OF heaven.
I II takes the courage Of a
} Daniel, the faith Of an Elijah,
and the unswerving loyalty Of a
preacher like Paul to speak
( forth the message Of God.
, Gods message has never yet
been the popular message, for it
condemns the sins which the
world loves and points the hu-
} initiation Of the cross as the only
s way Of salvation.
: The world is not ready 70 give
5 up its sin; it is not ready to bow
} before the cross and aeknowl
5 edge Christ as Saviour.
Z In its last analysis, sin is re-
5 lection Of Christ, for Jesus de-
elsred: "This is the eondemna.
5 tion. that light is come into the
world, and men love darkness
5 rather than light, because their
Z deeds were evil"

THE STORY

WHAT boy is there who has not
W been thrilled and fascinated with
the story Of David the shepherd boy
With what intense interest mother or
father has been followed as the story
Of the young shepherd and his sheep
has been told. OF his devotion to duty
Of his courageous facing of the lion
and the bear when they came to at
tack the lambs Of the flock. and how
after fierce struggle he had killed
both these savage beasts; of his call
from the field one day to meet the
prophet Samuel and be told that he
was some day to be made king OF Is
rael; of his battle with the giant
Goliath OF his leaving the flock on
the hillsldes Of Bethlehem. to 70 to
the palace Of King Saul. Of the sweet
songs he had learned to play in the
woodlands and meadows where the
birds and the musical ripples of the
Brooks down the hillsides taught him
his first lessons In the melody Of song
and Of how his music upon his harp
soothed the troubled spirit Of the
king.
No matter how old the world grows
il will never grow weary Of this story
Of David. And If we OF to-day find
delight in the story, what must have
been the charm and inspiration OF the

The great choice lies between epicu-
ieanism and Christianity. These are the
two PHILOSOPHERS which are to-day contend
ing with one another in close and not m-
equal strife.
Much there is for the moment that fa-
yors the epeurean. The great extension of
the fields Of human happiness; the positive
benefits to the community derived from the
exercise Of commercial sef-inierest; thc
downfall Of certain beliefs which until a few
years ago were deemed essential parts Of
Christianity all these tend to give a philos-

She seemed another Saint Cecilia.
SO lovely in person and so musical in
spirit, and while still a child the fore
most masters OF Europe prophesied
for her a career as one OF the worlds
greatest musicians Her powers ma
tured with her mind. and at II her
genius was, perhaps, without a paral-
lei; then her health suddenly failed.
and it was found too late that her
great gifts were In vain.
Her ailment left no chance OF re-
coyery, and her physicians gave he-
at the most but two years to live.
When at last they told her the truth,
she expressed the wish that she might
die while listening to the sweet sounds
Of orchestral music. Her life had
been devoted to music; It was fitting
that her death should be. And she
would feel happier so to die.
The man who loved her, and whom
she was to have wed. promised that
her wish should be fulfilled. and II
was he who had bent over her as her
life went out with the twelfth taper
In the center Of the beautiful mar
Bile mausoleum-for such the mystic
rlous building was-the body Of this
gifted and lovely girl was laid to eter-
nal rest.
