BRETHREN DWELLING
IN LOVE AND UNITY

ATuH the uedFI OF the AliegdnleS, Dr.
Elihu S. Riley, who is spending his
vacation at New Greek, Mineral
county, West Va, contributes the fol-
lowing interesting letter from Noun
tain Breeze Hotel, under date of Sep
tember %:
Inn And Farm Combined
Life here moves with calm, active
regularity. Farm and inn are joined.
The hotel is a monument of past en-
ergies and vital force in present
industries. 1t lies Immediately on the
Northwestern Pike that stretches
from Washington to the Mississippi.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century it was the great thorough
fare from the East to the West. 1t
was the. national highway built and
supported by the United States gov
ernment. Then the great six horse
wagons, loaded with goods and mer-
chandise, passed over this magnifi-
cent artery OF trade, and to accom-
modate this travel of man and beast
along the highway were erected
huge hostelries, five or six miles apart
where each might find rest and re-
freshment. In this section one of
those ancient inns still remains in
use and another converted into farm
houses.
The hotel stands on the first rise
of the Frontal Mountains of the AL
leganies. Everywhere the imposing
bluffs and ranges of this vast sys
tenn. that make "the beautiful West
Virginia hills" rise around the house.
The New Greek Mountains join the
Frontal at their base about an eighth
of mile below the hotel, and rise,
as the crow flies, not a mile away to
their green and rocky SUBMITS that
stretch east and westward from Key
ser to Greenland Gap for score of
miles in unbroken communion with
scarce spot cleared ground or house
from the base of the mountain heights
to their very SUBMITS.
Coal Coming Down The Mountain
The people of this favored section
are the recipients of innumerable
blessings at the hands of benignant
Providence not the least of which is
their proximity to the coal mines.
