Others liavo dubbod It "Undo Sam's NowcHt Playground," nnd no It Is, but It will not bo that very long. So some writer with a vivid Imagina tion must find n now namo for tho Glaclur Na- uonni I'arK. 4U About 14,000 persons visited Glacier park last summer, and In tho coming season It Is probable fully twlco as many will vlow Its beauties apd wonders. Although as a national park It Is only threo years old, Its name Is already familiar In this country because of the extensive advertising It Ihih received nnd of the enthusi astic accounts of thoso who have seen It; and It soomH destined to bocomo ono of tho most popular regions for persona who like to Bpend tholr holidays In n some whnt unconventional way and nt moderato oxponse. Occupying 1,400 square miles near the northwest corner of Montana. Glacier park Is right In tho henrt of tho Rockies and In tho matter of mountain scenery It ylolda to no placo. Doz ens of magnificent peaks crowd tho landscape, somn towering to heights of more than 10,000 feet. On mB.

If ono wishes to got nwny from hotel llfo en tirely ho can have camping tripB In the wilderness, und It Is rcnlly wilderness, In which ho can wander for wookB without soolng a human habitation. Illg gamo la thero In abundanco bears, mountain Bhcop, mountain goats nnd various kinds of "vnr mlnta" but or course It Is strictly protected by Undo Sam. But AbIj nro there, too, especially trout, and tho visitor Is rreo to catch thom If he can. Adding their own touch or ptcturcsquoneBs are the Indiana or tho lllnckfeot tribe, whoso homo la In the reservation immediately cast of tho park. The usual entranco to tho park is at Its south east corner whero, nt Glacier Park station, Is ono or tho most romnrknblo nnd nttractlvo hotels in tho country. Tho mnln building la constructed largely of Immense logs from Washington nnd Oregon and tho apaclouB lobby la flanked by theso natural pillars which tower threo stories to tho roof. Enormous fireplaces, scores of pelts of wild animals and tho heads of buffalo and door add to tho attractions; and moro comfort and bettor rood cannot bo obtained In metropolitan hotels. Tour ists, guides nnd Indlnus mlnglo hero, and for mality Is discarded. I haven't tho slightest Intention of writing a gvlldobook to tho Glacier National Park, but I do wish to tell of Bomo of Its wonders nnd boautlcs that can bo scon In a visit of n row day. So first let's climb Into this big touring car nud go to Lako St. Mary. Our chauffeur la a "breed," capa blo, courteous nud well cducatod, who knows tho country as you know your back yard. For sorao 0 miles our routo lies through tho Indian reser vation nnd wo nklm along tho boulevard rond across sweeps of prntrlo, up hills and nlong tho edges or proclplcea, now dipping down Into lovely valleys, now crossing rushing streams, with tho mountains ever growing moro Imposing and moro fascinating. Twisting up a long climb nnd swerv ing to the west, wo como to tho continental water shed near Triple Dlvldo mountain. Thonco tho waters flow on one aide to Hudson bay, on another to the Pacific and on tho third to tho Mississippi valley and tho gulf. This la truly tho roof of the continent. Now for 10 miles tho road runs through the great pine forests and winds gradually downward, on the slopes of tho mountain, until with a loud honking our motor car draws up bo aldo tho charming log chalets of St Mary camp that cling to tho stoop Bhorea or tho lako, whoso waters sparklo and ripple under tho midday sun. Dlnnor awaits in tho biggest chalet plain food, well cooked nnd plentiful, served by attractlvo waitresses. It Is onton with a rollBh and without formalities, and then, after a fow minutes In tho "recreation" chalet with Hb player piano nnd danco floor, wo all pllo aboard a powerful gasoline launch and head up tho lako for Golng-to-the-Sun camp. Ou tho right stretches tho long rldgo of Slnglo Shot mountain, and on tho loft rise Citadel, Al-moBt-a-Dog (lovoly name) and other flno penka. Hut our eyes aro fixed forward to where Golng-to-the-Sun mouutnln rears Its magnlllcont snow topped head. It 1b ono of tho most plcturesquo mountains in Amorlca, and hanging near Its sum mit 1b a largo glacier whoso strcum, fulling head long, la constantly blown upward Into spray by tho never ceasing winds. From tho camp, built high on a promontory that projects far into tho 2S r k&TT!

While wo llngor hero marveling at tho "upside down" waterfall, tho vivid colors of tho mountains and tho lco-groen lako spread at our feot, tho Eharp penk of Fusillade Is veiled by clouds that pour Bwlftly over and about tho nearer hotghts, nnd nwny up thero a snowstorm 1b raging. For us It In rain, however, and driven to sheltor, wo crowd Into tho cnbln of tho launch and hustlo back to St. Mary camp. From St. Mary camp tho automobile road haa Just been extended some SO miles to Many-Glacier camp on Lake McDermott. This placo, In Itself flno enough,' Is tho headquarters from which wo make short trips to some of tho park's greatest attractlona Morning Englo fnlla, Cataract creok, Swift Current pans nnd, most wonderful of nil, Ice berg lnko. This littlo body of exquisitely bluo wa ter Is almost wholly surrounded by serrated, splintered ridges thnt tower 3,000 feot above Its surface On a kind of shelf lies what la loft of the ancient glacier that scooped out this basin ages ago, and from its edges Icoborgs, largo and small. nro continually breaking off to go .'lontlng lazily about In tho lake. Iceborg lako Is tho habitat of tho polar trout discovered by lloko Smith, who BayB thoy havo fur Instead or scales. Now back to tho Glacier Park hotol for mnll and a littlo rest, for wo aro seeing tho park In a lazy, leisurely fashion. And what next? Well, aupposo wo glvo at least ono day to Two Medlclno lake, a region thnt for sheer beauty can hold its own with nny In tho park. Tho trip Is mado by Btago In about threo hours, and on tho way up tho lovely valloy wo tlo up tho horsos and nro led through tho forest to tho Trick fnlla. Hero In high water times Two Medlclno river plungea over tho odgo of a masa or rocks down nmong hugo boulders; but In tho dry season It drops Into a hole ubovo and emerges moro quietly through a cavern In tho rocky wall. Tho mountain that especially domi nates Two Medicine lako Is Rising Wolf, and It Is almost na handsome as Golng-to-tho-Sun. Hero, too, Is another of thoso delightful chalot camps, and whnt with the vlow, tho food and the air, It is hard to tonr one's self nway from It. If thoro aro any real fishermen In our party the best thing thoy can do Is to go to St. Mary's camp again, and from thero by trull to Red Eagle lako, threo hours distant. This boautlful grcon lake, only a mllo long and half a mtlo wide, la from 200 to BOO feet deop, and fairly swarms with cut throat trout, whllo In tho streams that flow Into and out of it the Dolly Varden trout Is found In great numbers.' Theso fish nro good fighters and tho angler who gets ono on his hook nnd under takes to yank It from Its Ico-cold homo hns u task that delights his soul. Since thero Is a strotch of shallow water In front of tho enmp, the fisherman often rides out on horsebnek to dcopor wnter and thoro, still nstrldo his steed, casta for tho trout. Tho first tlmo you Bit on a horse and try to land a ten-pound cut-throat you will forget thoro la anything elso on earth oxcept that little lako sur rounded by n dozen magnificent mountains, that horso and that trout Doing still somewhat a verso to strenuous exor elso, wo aro now going to board tho train at Gla cier Park station and rldo luxuriously over tho continental dlvldo, In itself a trip woll worth tak- &zwe-?V-22i&-3znrM02mz&nr lug. Alighting nt the village of Helton, wo havo a delicious menl in tho Grout Northerns pretty Swlsschalct hotel und climb nboart! a stago coach for tho rldo to Lake McDonald. For nn hour wo travel u boulevard cut through a donso forest of pine, spruce and balsam, and then, whero a group of cottages are clustered on Its shore, tho lako opens out before us. TIiIb 1 1-mlle strdtch of water Is so benutirul, in setting nnd color, that no words nro ndcquntoNto describe It. Lako McDonald was a popular resort long before tho national park was established, and thero nro Bevornl hotels nnd camps nbout ita northern end. To ono of theso, th'o Glaclur hotel, wo aro taken by launch to bo greeted cordially by Its proprietor, J. E. Lewis, who for years has been taking care of fishermen and other folk who wnnted to spend a week or a summer In the opon. So near that It seems but a moment's walk fiom tho shore, tho mountains of tho park towor to tho skies, casting tholr Jagged reflections In tho still waters or tho lako. A ton mllo rldo through tho forest thnt clothes tholr lower slopes brings us to Avalnucho lako. Pea green in color, reflecting tho npruco nnd plno and hemlock that crowd to Its very edge, It lies llko a precious gom In u deep bnslu that Is a veritnblo mountain garden. At ono end tho rock wnll rises almost perpendicularly for 6.000 feet, und over Its edgo ard down Its fnco dash four torrents dis charged from Sporry glncler, two miles awuy. Not ery easy of access', but wonderfully lmpres slvo when you get to It after somo flvo hours of climbing, Is Sporry glacier, .lust a great field of ico and snow, about threo nttles In extent and of unknown dopth, it lies glittering und sparkling under tho mldsumnier sun. Crevasses cross Ita expanse hero nnd there, nnd the tourist must bo exceedingly careful If ho ventures out on itB sur face. Indeed, tho authorities do not permit this, unless with guides nnd ropes, on any of tho gla ciers In the park. Tho wind Ib always high up there, and snow nnd rock slides are froquent. Tho mountains and glaciers and lakos und pusses w e havo seen are only a few of tho wonders of this wonderful pnrk only a few, Indeed, of that part that is open to ordinary slght-scois. Almost half or tho park, tho northern part, Is known to fow oxcopt forest rangers, guides, Indi ans and some scientists. Doubtlesa before many years tho whole region will bo opened up, and the remarkably satisfactory system of camps estab lished by tho Groat Northern Railway company will be extended to tho Canadian border. Within the Inst year theso accommodations havo beoln en larged greatly to meet tho demands of tho rapidly Increasing stream or visitors. Ono more thing must bo said for Glncler Na tional Park; It Is n pleasure grouud ror tho peo ple, not for tho millionaire. No flno clothos, no exponslvo luxuries there. All charges aro regu lated by the government, and It is the ambition of Louis Hill, chairman of tho board of directors or tho Great Northorn, to keep tho necessary ex penses of visitors down to tho minimum. Glacier park Is his hobby nnd his pride, and ho la as fn miliar with Its trails nnd passes aa aro tho guides and tho Indians, Of course, tourist travel to tho purk helps his railway, and at eomo timo In tho far ruturo tho company may begin to break oven on Ita Invlsh expondlturo o' money to make things comfortable for thoso who go all tho way to Montana to seo tho Switzerland qt AmuYIca I haven't yet devised a bettor namo ror it. MIlTMTIONAL SBiWSfflOOL Lesson (By K. O. SKLLlCRa, Director of Evening, Department, The Moody Ulblo Institute, Chlcngo.) LESSON FOR MARCH 22 LES80N8 BY THE WAY. M-fsSON TBXT-Luko 13:18-35. GOLDKN TKXT "Not every one tha. altli unto Die, Lord, Lord, shall enter Into the kingdom of heaven; but ho that docth the Wilt of my father who is In heaven." Matt. 7:21. The paragraph selected ror our study Ib wisely entitled "Lessons by tho Way," and easily rails Into three sections. There aro two parables about the kingdom, a reply aa to who shall bo saved, and an answer to the advice glvon Jcsub about Herod Bceklng after his lire. Tho first section Is proporly a por tion of the preceding paragraph which relates to the Incident or tho woman healed on a Sabbath. I. What the Kingdom of God la like, vv. 18-21. The word, "there foro" (v. 18, R. V.), llnkB this section with the lesson of last week wherein we observed tho effect upon his adversaries when JeBUS worked his miracle of healing upon tho woman (v. 13), and they were "put to shame," v. 17. With this fact in mind it is easy to reconcile the principles advanced by the two different parables, viz., the fact of intense opposition on tho part of his enemies, and that of rejoicing on the part of his friends. 8ymbols of Evil. The faithful servants of an absent but expected Lord are to watch for him that they may give him sujtablo welcome when he comes. This king dom is to be outwardly prosperous and grow to that extent that it shall bo a shelter to the birds, which rep resent the natlonB, Ezek. 17:23. But at the same tlmo thero is to bo an in ward growth as well, ono of leaven (yeast), putrefaction. See I. Cor. 5:67, also Gal. 5:8, 9. A mustard seed thus growing large Is abnormal; tho birds are symbolic of evil; so Jesus teaches us here as elsewhere (Matt 13:24 30), that the kingdom is to be of a mixed character, an intermixture of good and evil, opposition and victory. History haa abundantly fulfilled thoso predictions, though at the time Jesus uttered these words nothing seemed more improbable than such a suggest ed development, either of outward prosperity and power, or of such possibility of finding evil within. Common Question. II. Who shall be saved, vv. 22-30. What is more natural in vlow of theso thoughts than to aak this question, a question that Is a moat common one still. Notice, he did not answer in a way to satisfy idle curiosity, but di rected each to his own duty, to see it thoy thomselves had entered the king dom rather than be concerned about how many aro to bo saved. Tho sec ret then is Btlll a secret. He told them to "strive" (contend earnestly) to enter in. Soon the door will bo shut, now they are able to enter, then not at all. He is the "door," John 10:9. There is ono form of work which is essential to the salvation of tho believer, Beo John 0:29. "Works," altrulBtlc service, is an essential part of Christianity, being an evidence of faith, James 2:17, 18, but altruism is not the whole of religion as some seom to imply. We do not drift into tho kingdom, Acts 14:22; I. Cor. 9:24 27; Heb. 4:11; 2 Pet 1:10. All one needs to do to be lost Is to do noth ing. To bo Baved calls for an hon est, earnest effort. Jesus agrtln sug gests hlB return aa he reveala the kind of seeking which falls to find an entrance. In another passage (Matt. 7:13, 14) Jesua states thla same thought. Tho way of unrlghteousnoaa la broad, easy to rollow and many, walk therein. Whereas tho way of llfo Is narrow, straight, and fow choose to follow it. To bo even so familiar aa to havo eaton and to have drunk in his presence, or to have lived on the aamo street, will not suffice, nnd will not merit an entranco. In another connection (Matt 25) Jesus taught that even if admission Ib claimed on tho basis of actual service rendered there was still lacking one thing, viz., tho Lord's knowlodgo of them. To bo casually, suporflclally familiar with him Is not enough they did not know him. Many of our "flrBt" people will then bo "last," . when that door la closed, and they find themselves without. "Dlosaed is ho that cometh In the name of the Lord." "Word and Work the two W. You'll soon get spiritually gorged It it is all word and no work, and you will soon be without power if It la nil work and no word. If you want to be healthy Christians, there must be both word and work." D. I Moody. III. Warning about Herod, w. 31 35. Why the Pharisees gave Jesus this warning is hard to tell. They were not intoreate'd in his safety par ticularly and perhaps only wanted to frighten him nnd thereby limit hla in fluence and activity, soo Noh. G:9-ll; Amos 7:12, 13. Thoro is no doubt however, of the truth of tholr words and we know that Jesua never need lessly Incurred dangor. Ho had hii work to do and could not be killed Entll it was done, John 11:8-10. Th lentlon 'of the usurper called from Jesus a revelation of his compasaloa at love for the city of Jerusalem.
