ple directions which he gave of how to
manifest that religion to the under­
standing of men, they had built UP the
varied structures which they called

ready accomplished more than one-third
of the distance, and at the end of the
first, thousand miles was four days
ahead of his schedule. This man is
about 72 years old. That he has re­
tained the physical vigor and endurance
for such a task is due to his temperate
habits of life and his moderation in
athletics. He has never adopted the
violent forms of exercise. He has cel­
ebrated pedestrianism as the all-suffi­
cient and life-giving form of physicial
culture.
