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 ' that during my boyhood yearswe l lived on a moun‘aintop in the Rockies. at 10,000 feet, where we zould see in three direotio for about 150 miles. spread out to the west, south and north at us was one oi the most awe-inspiring sights in all this world——t7lle Bsngrc de Christ.) range (the "Blood of Christ" ranze). 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?

He would point out some celes- tial marvel against the backdrop of the mighty mountains and, be- ing a deeply spiri'ual man. he tied all of that up with God, (At 2 and 3 A.

He was always a liberal in his thoughts. and was constantly seek- 0 ing for new light and truth. From him I acquired a tremendous con- cept of a tremendous God. He gave me both patience and impatience with pettiness in religion. My friends have often remarked that I seem too interested and en- thusiastic about everything. It so. then my rather is to blame. He used to take me on trips, jsunts on which we talked about the origin of the earth. He had a scientific point of view. and never entertain- ed mechanical notions about the beginning or the universe. To him it was entirely spiritual. I-le raw the Hand or God in everything. 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. _ He put these Biblical stories in- to my bloodstream. And, suddenly, they all became a part or the back- around 01' the climactic experience of my lite, the period when I was with Allenby's army and with the Arabs under Lawrence in "The Be- volt in the Desert“.
