every minute must count because no
one knew how long the good weather
would last.

was used as a sanatarium and SO you

am writing to you and all exclaim on
the beauty of the building and the
orderly way we already have it ar

garage for one of the school rooms, but
there are several chicken houses which
are to be made over for the autos.

building I am just as sure that our
Father means for us to carry on, for
there is no other place in Helena in
which we could be housed. So today
we are forgetting the past and are
pressing on more determined than
ever to meet the need of the little
children given to us to care for. We

think of us as downhearted or sorrow
stricken. We are joyfully pressing on

we mean to stand by.
Faithfully yours,

nan, Joe Mass. The next morning we
were. on the way westward again,
reaching out for home. Soon a view
of the mountains welcomed us and as
we approached the Rockies from he
east it was a lovely sight Swinging
up into them. with the lowering sun
ahead of US, was a sight | shall long
remember. We had wanted TO drive
through Glacier park on the higher
Route on the homeward trip but his
pleasure was denied us, as we 'ound
the high passes were not yet open So
we followed on over No z, greatly en-
Toying the beauties of that lovely and
rugged route.
Homeward Bound.
Late that evening we emerged from
the western side of the park and de-
cided make run for home. even
though we thought it would be rather
late before we could reach it. Onward
we sped through Kalispell, Whitefish
and Eureka, with old Mother Nature
putting on for the benefit Of the travel
lers returning home one of the most
beautiful mountain sunsets | have ever
seen or ever hope to see. About Il
o'clock on the night of June we again
saw the lights of home shining
through the tall pine trees and over
the glistening water of the Kootenai,
across the bridge we drove, down the
quiet streets and at last home. As we
brought the car to stop in the same
old garage we had left in late April,
the speedometer showed our long and
pleasant travels had carried us over
9,161 miles
Thus bring to a close this long
series of travel articles. a series that
has stretched out into greater length
than | had expected but which have
enjoyed writing, especially after having
received many kind words and letters
of appreciation from my readers re-
garding the series. Next week, if the
Muse is working, | may write one
more article, not descriptive of the
travels but one entirely different; an
article telling a few of the impressions
received by me as travelled for he
first time over much Of this beloved
land of ours. But whether or not [
write this other article, | have this
one thing to say in conclusion. The
three Of us returned to our homes
better and more fervent Americans be-
cause Of the wonderfully enjoyable trip
we had taken.
