"To an observer in the midst of such scenery,
getting glimpses of the thoughts of God, the day seems endless, the sun
stands still. Much faithless fuss is made over the passage in the Bible
telling of the standing still of the sun for Joshua.
Here you may learn that the miracle occurs for every devout
mountaineer. One day is a thousand years, a thousand years is a day, and
while yet in the flesh you enjoy immortality . . . Talk of immortality!
After a whole day in the woods we are already immortal. Where is the
end of such a day? Every squirrel puts us to shame."
