Show VOICE THE PAGE SIX 9th On February The entire Sharon family and the many friends outside the stake, heartiElder Verl L. ly welcome home , Mrs. Mary Stubbs and his bride, Louise Anderson Stubl Released on January 1, Verl has completed four years of brilliant missionary service in the Tongan islands, the last year and a half as President of the mission. He reports the mission in a healthy and thriving condition, with 58 new converts to the church in the past year. ' Elder Stubbs charge as president comprised a vast responsibility. There is a membership of 1,300 Saints. Verl arrived in Toga March 2, 1930. He taught school in various districts including, Togatabu, Vavan (in which he later labored as district president), and the school plantation, Makeke. "Then because of illness, JPresident Newell J. Cutler was compelled to sail for home immediately, and I was chosen to act as mission president," Elder Stubbs states. Verl was set apart as president August 13, 1932 and labored in that capacity until the time of his release Elder Stubbs was married to Miss Anderson January 17, at Pago Pago and sailed immediately on the S. S. Monterey for home. It was indeed a thrilling honeymoon of which any young couple could be envious; and particularly when the entire passenger list of the huge ship got together and gave them a rousing wedding reception and presented them with wedding gifts. Enroute home the couple also visited Honolulu (where they conferred with missionaries and mission officials), San Francisco, Hollywood and Boulder City. Sister Stubbs, for the past five years has resided in New Zealand where she has been attending the schools. Prior to her going there, however, she studied at the church schools under the direction of President Cutler of the Tongan mission, predecessor to Elder Stubbs. Over 450 friends of Brother and Sister Stubbs assembled at the Edge-nioamusement hall last Friday evening in a welcome home reception. Verl has filled a wonderful mission. Sharon Stake is mighty proud of him; and we all welcome him and his wife to our midst. We are sure that their work at home here will be valuable to the entire stake. SHARON ILil heve that truth and belief are synonymous. To get a concise definition of truth I quote the following. "Truth is a knowledge of things as they are, and as they were and as they are to come; and whatsoever is more or less than this, 'is the spirit of that wicked one who was a liar from the beginning All truth is independrnt in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also, otherwise there is no existence. D & C, 93:24, 25, 30. We recognize that things do change, but the krowledge does not vanish into oblivion. For further light on the meaning of truth, I quote: "Behold that which you hear is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness in the wilderness, because you cannot see him my voice, because my voice is Spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; RETURNS HOME Missionary Arrives OF (Continued OUR TRUTH VERSUS HUMAN ELEMENT traditions cherished are not absolute, but only relative, and are rapidly being replaced by new ideas; therefore we are compelled to concede that the only permanent thing in this sphere of existence is- change: and well may it be so, because without it there would be no progression; but, we must ever bear in mind that whenever change comes in our philosophy of life if we would progress it must be compatable with truth. By JOSEPH V. FORD may seem strange that in this great world of ours, surrounded by innumerable manifestations cf truth, we are tossed to and fro by every- wind of doctrine, and searching in vain for satisfying solutions to our many serious and perplexing problems, we are as Paul says, Ever learning and never It is erroneously understood by some able to come to a knowledge of the that truth does not always remain to truth. 2nd Tim. 3:7. be truth, or they would have us be- - It - of Pride for tho Children . . , Satisfaction for the Parents Are Guilt Into These Shoes NIGHT February 24th u Oil, Paints and Glass Utah Timber & Coal Co.

Some dry years, like 1925 and 1931, would give a supply of about During 1931, the Class A rights on the Provo River secured only about 25 of the water decreed to them. During 1933, the supsA to the Class A rights in Wasatch and Summit counties received only about 257 of their decreed water. The canal companies in the vicinity of Provo, including the Provo Bench Canal, received only about 50 of their decreed water. The result was that production on the farms was greatly decreased and heavy losses sustained by the farmers in the vicinity of Pleasant Grove, American Fork, and Lehi.particularly on the higher grounds, have suffered a 507 to a 75 water shortage, with consequent disastrous results to their irrigated crops. It has been estimated that in some localities the loss due to drouth in a single year would be more than ten years payment on Deer Creek water. Those who have studied the project most are convinced that the areas served by the Deer Creek Reservdir need a supplemental water supply equal to the full amount stored in the Reservoir, or about 135,000 acre feet, and that the farming areas including cities which need water can easily make the annual payments required by the United States to repay the cost of construction of a reservoir and canal system. The failure of one company to make payments would merely mean that the water subscribed for by the company would be distributed to all the other subscribers under the project, or resold to other water users under the many Canals serving the project. The project as a whole cannot fail, for the simple reason that the farms and canals are here and the water will be used If one individual or by somebody. company defaults in payment, it would merely mean that the water payments would be taken up by other individuals and applied to the same lands, or to other lands needing water under the project r-- a r nt Qiilve AVinflAH -- 5 2 E |
