...number of very important facts were determined in regard to it. The most notable of these concerned the two movements by which the 3000 or more feet of dislocations were produced along this great fault line. It was thoroughly demonstrated that after a vertical movement of the rock for about 2000 feet, the irregularity of surface thus produced was almost obliterated through long wearing away by water. Then extensive lava flows were spread over the rock. At a later and relatively recent time movement on the fault line took place again so that the eastern part of these lava flows...

He knew that of the seeds he scattered so lavishly, though many fell amid rocks and thorns, some would fall where they would yield fruit, "some thirty, some sixty, some an hundred fold;" through his prodigality of gift he saw the possibility of the prodigality of return. Marvelous words he uttered often went to deaf, unheeding ears, but once his "follow me" entered the heart...
