wrought them nll-thc earth is fun Of
thy riches" The Rev. Dr. Bowerman
said In part
II the Psalmist could write the
wonderful nature hymn from which
our text Is taken. circumscribed by

Travelling over the Line OF
Thousand Wonders" one OF the most
wonderful OF all Is the magnificent
Lake Tahoe. Leaving the train at
Truckee. IL is n beautiful ride up
md by and over the Truckee river
until the lake is reached and who
describe the maJcstic glory of
that body OF water 5000 feet above
sea level and surrounded all sides
by towering peaks some reaching up
TO 1000 feet
The day was spent riding upon the
deep ultramarinc blue waters. TWEEN
ty-threc by thirteen miles Is tho size
(these numbers had no significance
when the lake was formed). and the
depth reaches close to 1000 feet
We were impressed anew with the
glory OF this wonderful world. We
are nature lovers. but the old world
never looked more beautiful than
that day The words would be COM

ator work was done and God saw
that II was very good" The words
OF Paul also referring to the Lord
Christ and the created world and
without him or apart from him
was nothing made that was made"
God was manifesting himself In all
the creation work. With a definite
purpose he limited the seas and
formed the mountains: Each lake and
plan. What then of man, the crown
Ing work In the world OF creation?
All his, the thought and plan and
purpose OF each human soul! God Is

redemption love.

the mountain peaks. Then, too.
there could not help come the feel
folks OF all degrees seeking for rest
and change: some in tavern. cottage
or tent Why the wars and the
strife? Why the contention and bit
tcrness and struggle? Why the predu-
dice. the narrowness. the bgotry and
the selfishness? Why the ambition,
the selfseeking: resultns-in the op-
preston and the sorrow?
Nature and revelation are trying

and privilege OF Just loving folks
Oh what change would come!
Looking up Into the hills OF Cod
whence help cometh, we In vision
see "its coming yet when man re-
cord the world all shall brothers be"
So we watched mountains and
lakes and people listened TO plans
and purposes and remembered the
experiences OF the years. and the
words kept coming: ''Home hearts
are happy hearts" Hearts that love
and help because they love. The pill
grim traveller Is homeward bound.
Home hearts!
Up into the mountains OF God b.

glory, bright In their crystal gleam,'
Over 10 the home OF the soul. Home
hearts! In the world OF glory the fin
