BOOKS  He who sells a soul a book Gives that soul a sweeping look Through its pages Down the Ages;

Gives that soul a ship to sail Where the great adventures hail, On the sea Of destiny;

Gives that soul a vision-wide As the skies where stars abide And the far Lone planets are;

Gives that soul great dreams to Dream! Sunlit ways that glint and gleam

 Where great Sages Tramp the Ages!   WILLIAM LE ROY STIDGER

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.   WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN

He who works with his hands is a laborer, He who works with his hands and his head is an artisan,

But he who works with his hands, his head, and his heart is an artist.  LOUIS NIZER

1 Douglas, William O. Muir of the Mountains
Boston Houghton Mifflin Company 1961 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Harve Stein 
NORTHSTAR BOOKS # 25 "John Muir (21 April 1838 - 24 December 1914) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to save the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is now one of the most important conservation organizations in the United States. One of the most well-known hiking trails in the U.S., the 211-mile (340 km) John Muir Trail, was named in his honor. Other places named in his honor are Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, John Muir College, Mount Muir, Camp Muir and Muir Glacier. In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to the preservation of the Western forests. He petitioned the U.S. Congress for the National Park bill that was passed in 1890, establishing both Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. Because of the spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings, he was able to inspire readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas. He is today referred to as the "Father of the National Parks," and the National Park Service produced a short documentary on his life. Muir's biographer, Steven J. Holmes, states that Muir has become "one of the patron saints of twentieth-century American environmental activity," both political and recreational. As a result, his writings are commonly discussed in books and journals, and he is often quoted in books by nature photographers such as Ansel Adams. "Muir has profoundly shaped the very categories through which Americans understand and envision their relationships with the natural world," writes Holmes. Muir was noted for being an ecological thinker, political spokesman, and religious prophet, whose writings became a personal guide into nature for countless individuals, making his name "almost ubiquitous" in the modern environmental consciousness. According to author William Anderson, Muir exemplified "the archetype of our oneness with the earth", while biographer Donald Worster says he understood his mission to be "saving the American soul from total surrender to materialism."

"The story of the FIRST Lodge chartered by the Grand Lodge of Manitoba it is advisable that we give a brief outline of background concerning the Craft in the Province of Manitoba. The young Mason of today might reasonably ask his elder brother, When did Freemasonry FIRST make its appearance in organized form i n the West? We take him back to the days when our district had no town or village but was known to the residents of theoutside world as Red River Settlement. Under date of 20th May, 1864, John Christian Schultz as Worshipful master, Andrew G. B. Bannatyne, Senior Warden, and William Inkster, Junior Warden, along with fiver others...This pioneer lodge met regularly in a room over the business premises of Brother Andrew Bannatyne, situated near the corner of main Street and Lombard Street, Winnipeg until 1869, and several petitioners were initiated, passed and raised in this modest lodge room. For some reason which was never disclosed the original lodge ceased its labors about the time of the Riel insurrection, and it was never revived....Thus, Northern Light Lodge was the FIRST duly instituted lodge in Western Canada." Good blue hardcover. Some fading soiling beverage marks to covers. [n.d., 1950], 8vo, 80pp. 3 Appendices. PEEL 7181 (2003 edition), not in Watters bibliography other book by Douglas in Watters.
