“I am free to confess that I am disappointed with the Yosemite valley. It seems only about one-half as grand as the American Fork canyon.”
“What can we do to win these men to Christ?”
“On his face was an expression of absolute love. Melting, soul-touching, raw, unbridled love, the kind of person dies for, sacrifices and suffers for. It was the kind of love that a person would wait two hundred years to see fulfilled. It was True Love in its purest form.”
