Dear Folks: Rainier National park is being officially opened to- day, so this letter will be dedicated ie TO THE MOUNTAIN Majestic, calm, you stand alone, a monarch, massive, grand. What countless years your life has known, in Nature's garden land! In ages past, primeval men revered your virgin sod; with ear rte called you, then, “The Mountain That Was 20d, We see your summit pierce the sky, in ermine robes of white. From age to age you reign on high, reflecting naught but light. We seem to see you point the way to paths that saints have trod; and thus your name shall ever stay, The Mountain That Was God. ¢ What matters tempest, side or time? What matters wind or rain? You meet them all, serene, sublime, the King of hill and plain, And have you greater strength than we, who vainly, weakly plod? A strength that makes you seem to be The Mountain That Was God? We see your silent ‘splendor there—it speaks of things divine; we pause a while to breathe a prayer before your snowy shrine; “Lend us your light, your sturdy soul, your heart—our rule and rod! And teach us all our Maker’s goal, O Mountain That Was God!” Ciridge Tamm PLANE FAILS IN.
