To record these events and to deliver these messages, we have felt the necessity of a stake paper, and as a result of the need, The Vdiee of Sharon has come into being with this, its initial issue. , Through the cooperation of the advertizers, and an ap- propriation from the Stake Recreational and Educational budget, as well as the gratuitous services of members of the stake who have been called 'to edit the paper, we will be able to mail a copy free to .each family in the stake. The further purpose of this publication is to foster and help develop wholesome community life in the Sharon Stake and to advance the cause of true Christian cooperation. To this end we dedicate it and hope that the "Voice of Sharon will become the voice of a united people. A. V. Watkins, , Samuel II. Blake, Adelbert Bigler, Stake Presidency.
