Show THE MESSAGE By MARGARET RUSSELL People fortunate enough to arrive arrive arrive ar ar- rive at the Salt Lake Valley by bythe bythe bythe the highway from the east arc are presented a view that is truly breathtaking At night with the myriad multi colored lights twinkling against a black velvet background it particularly beau beau- When the pioneers arrived there were no lights and only one tree It was a barren and arid area but the potential for beauty was there The mountains mountains mountains moun moun- contained trees stone sand and water One of the greatest copper deposits in the world lay in the earth on the southwest rim There was a hot mineral spring to the north We are told that the land of Israel is similar in many ways to northern Utah The thought inevitably follows that the promised lands that the Lord gives His children are just that lands of promise and nothing more The potentials are there The other night there was a glorious sunset over Manti The clouds were glowing and shimmering shimmering shimmering shim shim- mering and radiating and pulsating pulsating pulsating pulsa pulsa- ting with light and color to a degree of intensity that would have to be seen to be believed A few minutes later there was nothing to be seen but a few dirty gray clouds drifting around There isn't a muscle in the body that cant can't be developed to Olympic proportions by just anyone anyone anyone any any- one if the daily steady unrelenting unrelenting unrelenting lenting necessary effort is made Potential such an inspiring thing to think about as one rocks in ones one's rocking chair |
