A Cathedral of Rare Colors
, Is Well Worth Seeing
iUong the Wissahickon waters these days, from
the high bridge at Ridge Avenue all the way up
to the Lincoln Drive to Chestnut Hill, on the
west side of the stream.
You shall walk upon a carpet of autumn
leaves and sometimes under overhanging rocks.
You will miss the old wooden bridge, so long the
favorite crossing of the stream, not far from the
faithful all-thc-year-round natural spring.
That old, mysterious spring, pouring night
and day its cool crystal water through the rocks,
is scarcely ever without devotees who seek it
with cups, Jugs, family bottles and demijohns.
It gives itself away to all comers, poor and rich,
for less than a thank you.
We are copying, in this big, roomy building,
the example of the Wissahickon sprang, of
keeping steadily at our work of supplying the
things that people want.
