Health# Pure,rarified air, away from heavy industry, away from dust and smoke of too heavy traffic, away from crowds where people become just a name and street num ber- these things lend to mapy of us a measure of health and stren^ht, I am re minded that our Lord went out by himself- into the mountains, or even into the wild erness- that He might be alone* The heat that is do oppressive at other places is no bother to us,here* The nights are cool- and we sleep the deep sleep of peace* Beautiful scenes that §od has made ani/ait us, everywhere. Some of them beckon us from the comfort of the automobile and dare us to stretch muscles that are tired from not being used. As one dear friend said,taking a view from one of our mountains, "Ray, I feel that the cobwebs of my body and mind are wiped away," Health, agter all,is a spititual thing, a mental thing, as well as a physical thing Spititually and mentally, these hills can help us* I believe God planned it that way* Go and take the rich view from White side, or Sunset Rock.
