For most of my lite, it seems, I save been saying to somebofy, "So lorlg'until tomorrow" The oppn.-- tunity for a lite not entirely lack- ing in adventure has been mina-- poking around in some or the tar- iway corners oi the world.

Every man, I suppose, can slhgde out the people and the places that nave had the ‘greatest lniluence on his lite. And surely one oi the prime {actors in heading me for wherever I've gene was the fact

lived on a moun‘aintop in the Rockies. at 10,000 feet, where we zould see in three direotio for about 150 miles.

And what made that seem all the more sublime was that it was never the same. The iraleidoseoptc colors, the drifting clouds, the vast, mysterious distances. always chang- ing. Against the horizon, in a far- sweping arc, their snowy 14.000-toot peaks tinted pink by the Alpine glow, stood more,loity mountains than the eye oi mere man is likely to behold at one time, anywhere else on this planet.

How could it tell to move one deeply. to put its mark on a young- star who stood on those heights marvelllng at the panorama. JIIY after day, month after month. year after year?

Many times in our home he would spend long periods reading to me irom what he believed to be the greatest book in the world, the Bible. He did not read the Bible -to us in the usual steretoyped iorm oi iamily prayers, but as a schoiar would read irom any great work. He read it to me because the Book wa.s- bubbling out of him; it was part or his lite. _

These armies were ilghting across lands where the Israelites wandered. and although -I had never seen these regions until I joined Allenby, it all seemed famil- iar territory beeause I had been over it in imagination many times with my lather.

This was by far the peak or my lite. For a thousand years it had been the dream at western peoples and 01- Christian civilisation to tree the Holy Land (mm the Infidel.
