UTAH BY PLANE TO THE SOUTH SEAS A Veiled Figure heart of man a secret chamber wherein stands like the block of white unhewn marble set in the studio of a sculptor a veiled figure. Though the man may not so much as lift the corner o. the veil, yet he forever and in secret works to fashion and form the figure that lies beneath. And the figure is the Soul of the man, and the unveiling thereof is called death; and until the figure be unveiled, the man scarce knoweth what manner of man he is. Coulson Kernahan.

They may build for us the walls of another and quite separate world in which we can take refuge from all that wounds and limits and frustrates us in this one. Or they may be the daily bread of our thought and action. But whichever part they play whether they are to us the quiet garden in which the spirit dwells apart, or the fuel which feeds the active, militant mind and arms it for its encounter with hard facts, they become an integral part of the texture of our being.
