"Town"—it contained in all some two dozen buildings—was
very unlovely in slumber. It sprawled in the lap of the prairies, a
grimy-faced urchin, with the lines of dismal sophistication writ
deep. Yet where in all the "health resorts" of the East did air
sweep from the clean hill-country with such revivifying power?
It seemed a glad world of abiding youth. Surely "Town" was but
a dreary illusion, a mirage that hung in the unmapped spaces of
this new world that God had made and called good; an omen of
the abominations that men would make when they grew blind to
the beauty of God's world.
