Show in view of the wonderful bounties enjoyed this season by the farmers of this community and by everybody else as a consequence we feel that the people of the box elder stake should join with us in giving thanks to the lord and taking care of the blessings received if we take this outpouring as a matter of course we may get the feeling that we are independent and that we are now entirely out of the woods and spend our money for things that are unnecessary to our comfort and well being while yet deeply in debt when we have paid all our debts that are arc due we are at liberty to do as we wish with our surplus but so long as there are unpaid bills we are in bondage from which we should strive to escape as soon as possible we have gone without for a few years under pressure of circumstances cant we hold our breath just a little longer if necessary to become freemen the lord has remembered us this year let us remember him by living our religion As a stake presidency we are highly appreciative of the loyal support you have given us and may this be your merriest christmas and the new year your most prosperous and happy thus far is the wish of S NORMAN LEE 1 JOSEPH N STOHL WW WM C HORSLEY stake presidency I 1 1925 it t |
