its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed itS deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and JoY waited upon my gomgs and comings.

I vvill not fol lo w vvhere the path tnay lead, but I vvill go vvhere there is no

path, and I vvil1leave a trail.
