    Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.

    This spirit it was which so early carried the French to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi on the north, and the Spaniard to the same river on the south. It was long before our frontiers reached their settlements in the West, and a voyageur or coureur de bois is still our conductor there.
