CHAPTER XVII 



A PLEA FOR WALKING 



In our outings the means as well as the end 

 has value ; the getting there as well as the things 

 obtained or seen or studied. Let us, then, regard 

 walking as a nature-study subject. 



Diversified as is nature, so is the variety of her 

 lovers' devotion. Her every phase has an admirer, 

 from the largest to the smallest, from the most 

 conspicuous to the least noticed, and from the 

 most beautiful to the things called unattractive by 

 those who do not love them. 



St. Paul, writing of spiritual gifts, says : 



" Now there are diversities of gifts, but the 

 same spirit. 



" And there are differences of administrations, 

 but the same Lord. 



" And there are diversities of operations, but it is 

 the same God which worketh all in all. 



" But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to 

 every man to profit withal. . . . 



" But all these worketh that one and selfsame 



Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."
