"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 a wave 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
