TUESDAY.
Nothing is more true
than the godliness . .
than the divine restora-
tive power of the
Great Outdoors.
Toe mur' ...ociation with
MrMlvei and our kind too
4owp aboor^tion in penonal af-
fairs or th* treadmill of daily
routine cause us to lose per-
sonal perspective.
Just as a one-room house
looms uP rrandlv when one
faces its wall so do we assume
immense proportions from too
constant association with our-
selves an •Maft«r»tion that
applies equally to trouble or
bombastic pride.
For the freat restoratives
for that ability to jot some-
thing of the rift “to see our-
selves at others see us
go to the Great Outdoors.
Lying in the encompassing
calm of a front tree or beside
a centuries-old stream the ar-
tificiality of egoism falls away
and dissolves into its proper
proportion Refreshed revived
and a little chastened by the
inviolable calmness of Nature
we return to the day’s daily
with new appreciation . . for
others.
