AND ITS MESSAGE 



Is not this a parable of life? 



There are men who live their 

 lives on the wagon roads, in the 

 Pullman car, on the cushions of an 

 automobile. They shun all hard- 

 ship, their object in life is to avoid 

 all pain, just to have a good time. 

 And they have their reward 

 miles of dusty road, acres of sun- 

 burned grass. 



But there are other men who 

 live the life of the mountain trail, 

 the life of aspiration and endeavor. 

 They are 

 "Pioneer souls who blaze their paths 



Where the highways never ran." 



They hear something calling 

 them out of the unseen even as 

 Kipling's Explorer heard 



" One everlasting Whisper day and night 



repeated so: 

 ' Something hidden. Go and find it. Go 



and look behind the Ranges 

 Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost 

 and waiting for you. Go ! ' " 

 [17]
