There are essences in human life which defy analysis. Who can measure the influence upon the human spirit of an inspiring passage of music or of a radiant line of poetry or prose ? The inner being of man is forever something apart from utilitarian or material influences. The story of Christ going into the wilderness has been accepted through the ages not merely as a symbol but as an essential episode in the personality of an individual. “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help” is a prayer flowing naturally from the human heart that senses the oneness of the individual and the natural world.
