Show this eventful month of happenings is moving rapidly toward the ch changing ang period or rc re from winter into spring and ere this copy Is printed and sent to you we shall have reached the turning point As with the seasons so it Is with man but because few realize this fact we may not expect to see the same results in the nature of 0 man as we are apt to see in nature itself as the of life begins again and the dormant life reaches up to the one great life in order to renew itself have you ever stopped to think what causes man to feel happy when nature bursts forth is renewed life during the spring and summer periods give some thought to it and then compare yourself as a human being wit with the growing things of life and so will you make a good beginning toward realization of the great force of life power of the sun as it begins its journey toward the tigh agh tig h mark in the heavens we are giving more and more thought to these things and we also realize more and more how wonderful this great open country is and how it may be turned into good use for the thousands of people who are now living in such close and unhealthy quarters and in such sordid conditions as so many must bear with in the cities we have a new friend with us one who has roamed over the country a time looking for a job through which he might earn an honest living he has traveled thru many states states since he left his native state of kentucky and went as far west as california only to find at each turn in the road that there was litte opportunity for a man to get a job unless he would become a resident for a stated period of time in a given place can you imagine what this means to one who has no means of livelihood to start with and an unless he be can call bei be staked to a living jiving while he be is making that necessary period of residence this man decided to stay with us for a while and perhaps longer and it is for such purpose and reason that we exist since in our code of living there are no restrictions if a man or a woman is willing to join with the other workers and to do the more menial tasks at the start of things we are grateful that we have a little to share wih such ones and so long on as they are willing to take of what we ave have to offer in the spirit in which it is given we know that they will find happiness here and the peace and contentment we have found we have made a trip to blanding during the past week and we were surprised at the great amount of snow there is on the south side of our lovely blue mountains and to learn that certain roads we expect to travel when we begin our creek mining work are still impassable due to the heavy snow drifts in the very places where we must work it would seem though that there will be an abundance of water available and for this we are grateful too since so much depends on the water supply as we learned to our sorrow last fall when the inflow was too limited to permit of our work one great need in this part of tile country is to preserve this great rush of water which will soon begin to run from the higher altitudes and we deplore the fact that there is no effort or provision pio vision to build reservoirs such as we have in our eastern cities which would furnish the continuous supply so necessary to sustain life in all ways we wc look forward to the time when more of our energetic and capable friends arrive meaning those who have the same vision as we aud and the ability to carry it thru in order that this vast country may be used as god intended and in accordance with knowledge we have and under understanding understands standi n thereof concerning the grea greater er changes to come which will work out the pattern to a more satisfactory point we wish to say in losing closing that we are arc sending our third supplement with this issue of all our subscribers who have at any time asked for it even though there was little response from sonic some quarters to our invitation vi to receive of this additional information concerning our work we know that some day there will be greater desire to understand the real motive back of this effort to serve you we ive are grateful to the few who made reply in any way since it helps Us to make proper adjustment of work and material cf of fairs |
