    How Did You Feel, Sister White, When You Had Your First Glimpse Of The Rocky Mountains?

    Denver, Colorado, Thursday, July 18, 1872.—Thursday morning we awoke in the sleeping cars and looked out of the car window upon snow-capped mountains. Such a scene I had never looked upon before—snow lying upon the top of the mountains, bordered with green. The train bore us to Denver. We stepped off the train about eight o’clock. It was a singular affair for us, to travel hundreds of miles over a barren desert and then find a populous city, which could be called the Chicago of Colorado. We were welcomed by our nieces. We felt at home.LASW 71.1

    Wednesday, July 24, 1872.—We were anxious to go to the mountains. We hastened to the cars, which left at eleven o’clock. We got on board a freight train. Ridges and splashes of snow lay upon the top of the mountains.LASW 71.1

    Wallings Mills, Sabbath, July 27.—We arose this beautiful morning with some sense of the goodness and mercy of God to us. This is our first Sabbath among the mountains. James, Sister Hall, and myself took a blanket and walked out to the shelter of the fragrant evergreens, rolled up a stone for seats, and I read a portion of my manuscript to my husband. In the afternoon our niece, Mary Clough, Willie, and myself walked out and sat beneath poplar trees. We read about sixty pages of Great Controversy. We closed the Sabbath of the Lord with prayer.LASW 71.2

    Sunday, July 28.—Mary, James, Willie, and I walked one mile to see the gigantic rock towering up hundreds of feet. Willie climbed to the top of it. We with less strength and sprightliness were content to remain below. Returning home, Willie mounted a rock and spoke to us.LASW 71.3

    Monday, July 29.—We enjoy this mountain air very much. My husband and myself walked out in the grove and had prayer. Spent considerable of the day in writing. We knelt among the trees and prayed for heavenly guidance. 2MS 4, 1872.LASW 71.4
