What Others Think

By J. O. Corliss

SEPTEMBER 6, with Elders Wilcox and Tait, and Brother H. G. Childs, I had the privilege of a visit to the new conference school site, located on Howell Mountain, east of St. Helena. A minute description could not be expected from one who had but a few hours to spend at the place. Indeed, a full description of it, the beauty of the situation, the fine landscape view, the expanding fields of alfalfa, the various orchards of apples and pears, plums, and peaches, the sweet-flavored small fruits, to say nothing of the substantial buildings so well adapted for school purposes,— would be difficult to give in words. One should see it all,— the stately tall pines and redwoods, the majestic oaks, the countless springs of soft water bubbling from the hillsides and valleys,— to take in the value of the place as a retired spot, well calculated to stimulate mind-culture, especially in the knowledge of God’s manifestations in nature.

It is enough for the writer to say that his visit to the spot has given him confidence that the Lord has not left His people to wander aimlessly in seeking the place to which He would have them call the young people of the Pacific Coast for their preparatory training to enter the active service of earth’s closing message of salvation.
