So begins one of the greatest documents our world has ever known - The Constitution of the United States. Even before the Constitution was finalized and ratified, wise men debated the meaning of every phrase, every word, every implication. In the 222 years since the Constitutional Convention completed its work, the Constitution has been discussed, critiqued, questioned, dismissed, dissected, praised, vilified, copied and enshrined by millions upon millions throughout our nation and the world over. Thousands of volumes have been written about it. Courts throughout the land including our nation's highest court daily struggle to define its meaning. What is it about this singular document that inspires reverence and respect? Is it still the irreplaceable foundation of our country, our government, our way of life? Or, as member of Utah's congressional delegation told me not long ago, is the Constitution more suited for the agrarian society of past centuries with little relevance for our complex world today? Daniel Webster, a 19th century statesman, wrote, "I regard it (the Constitution) as the work of the purest patriots and wisest statesman that ever existed, aided by the smiles of a benign Providence; it almost appears a Divine interposition in our behalf." John Adams, second president of the United States, is quoted as saying, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." I declare my solemn belief that the Constitution is inspired and that the members of the Constitutional Convention were guided by the hand of God in the creation of this document. I confirm that it is as relevant today as it was when it was written in 1787. The Constitution is the solid foundation upon which our government, our nation, our very way of life rests. Actions which minimize or weaken the Constitution place each of us in jeopardy. I would be happy to provide a free copy of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Homes decorated for Halloween 'Round and About Benjamin Kathleen Olsen Take a ride around Benjamin and see the various decorations at many homes and yards. There are some that are pretty unique and all are fun to see. Seeing them certainly brightens the day as we move toward the longer dark and colder weather. Thanks to all who are contributing to the fun of the season. ••• We have lost a long time resident and contributor to our community. LaRue Beckstrom died on Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009, in Spanish Fork, and has gone to be with her husband, Merrill, whom she missed dreadfully since his death several years ago. LaRue was a true farm wife as she supported Merrill with the farm and their large sheep herd. Every spring found her loading the car or truck with supplies and heading out to the desert (east of Simpson Springs) to keep the sheep camp supplied with food and other necessities. She maintained a lovely home and yard and worked hard in whatever she undertook. Community and church wise, she was involved in many directions helping with the annual Ram Sale and also holding many church positions which touched many lives for good. We offer our sympathy to LaRue's immediate family, her extended family, and her many friends. She will be missed. Funeral services were held on Saturday, Sept. 24,2009, in Benjamin with interment in the Benjamin Cemetery. •*• We send our sympathy to Chris and Andy Caras on the death of Chris' mother, Myrna Loy Williams Warnick. Mrs.Warnick passed away on Monday, Oct. 19, 2009, after suffering with an illness for some time. Funeral services were held in Orem, on Friday, Oct. 23, 2009. ••• Doratha Willis' sister, Naomi Kirkpatrick, living in California, died there on Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009. Our thoughts and sympathy go to Doratha and other family members on Mrs. Kirkpatrick's death. ••• Benjamin members of Spanish Fork West Stake attended and participated in stake conference, Oct.1718. A choir consisting of members of both wards provided the music on the Sunday morning session. The choir was under the direction of Kathy Jensen and accompanied by Cynthia McKee.

Both Wayne and Dean are members of Benjamin 1st Ward. ••• Remember the Benjamin Community Halloween Trunk or Treat which will take place on Saturday evening, Halloween. Attendees are invited to attend in costume and the evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a children's costume parade around the sidewalk of the church after which treats may be dispensed from trunks of cars or backs of trucks of those who come with goodies to give away. The Activities Committees of both wards will also be served that evening. ••• Beware of the return to Standard Time which will take place at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1,2009. We get to make up the hour we missed last spring when we went to Daylight Savings Time. , 1 ; Happy Halloween! The Sentinel SOCKS '' |
