"This is a beautiful world--indescribably beautiful.  Its architectural grandeur and its artistic design, revealing the incomparable


genius of its Creator, pale into insignificance the best accomplishments of man.  Its mountains of rock, lifting above castles of cloud


their sun-crowned heads, level to the dust the most magnificent productions of the sculptor's chisel.  Its blend of harmonious coloring


in bird's wing, in sky blue, in snow crystal and beach coral, bewilder the wildest fancies of the painter's brush.  Its captivating


music, throbbing through the heart of the hills, is beyond comparison with that of the master musicians of all ages.  At every turn of


its winding path we are confronted with some indisputable evidence of a /creator's mind and a Father's love.  The mountains, whose


feet the springs wash while their hands hold on to the sky, as though they stood there to bind Earth and Heaven together; the valleys


abloom with leaf and floweret and awave with harvest; the earth, with all the priceless treasures hidden within it; the springs, the


​ rivers, the lakes, the islands, the seas; each contribute its feature to this grand and glorious world."


​TOWARD A BETTER WORLD   by Evangeline Booth 1928
