Description
Excerpt from The Snow-Shoe Itinerant: An Autobiography of the Rev. John L. Dyer, Familiarly Known as Father Dryer, of the Colorado Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church
I have gone over these pages alone, and with my venerable and beloved brother, until their personality has possessed me, and I and the Snow shoe Itinerant seem to be one. But now his snow shoes are to bear him in one direction, and I am summoned in another. As for him, I have no fears. The same good Providence which has guided him safely from Santa Fe to North Park, and through the gulches of the Sangre de Christo and the passes of the Continental Divide, will gently lead him Over the Range at last, on whose yonder sunny slopes he will meet the com panions and friends Of his youth, that son whose untimely taking Off dashed his cup with bitter sor row, and, best of all, the Divine One, on whose altar he has laid an unselfish and noble life. As for me, I doubt not that the editorial pen will write in more heroic character for the example Of Father Dyer, the Cartwright of the Rockies, the pioneer hero of Frontier Methodism, with whom I hope by and by to sit down in our Father''s house in heaven.
David H. Moore. Editorial rooms, western christian advocate, December, 1889.
