YOUR HOME, AND OURS.
No matter how much of a chestnut a story may be, it is al
ways new to the person who hears it for the first time.
It is even so when we advocate faith in, loyalty to, and the
building up of the home community. We ,have written and
preached until the subject has almost become a chestnut, yet
in every new effort of our pen there is a sentence somewhere
that strikes a sympathetic chord in the heart of some person.
No effort for local betterment is entirely in vain.
i We live in this town because we believe in it. We believe in
it because it is a good town, regardless of its few defects, and
its people are the peers of those to be found anywhere.
' This town may not have the wealth of some more favored
communities, but.it has character, and character is a possession
which can not be purchased with gold. . ,
t If you believe in your home town you will like it, and if you
like it no effort toward its improvement will be too great for you.
' ' Again we ask you who have faith in your own powers to also
lave faith in your own town.
s When you feel like criticising it, check the thought before
it is spoken. You can always find something good to say instead,
. and even then the half of the truth will never be told.
1 It is a good town now, but faith, loyalty and united action
will make it a better one.
t Our faith in this town, brother, is simply faith in you, be
cause the town is a collection of yous.
j" Surely your faith is not less than ours.
Let us unite let us act for a better and a more cohesive
community.
It is your home and, ours. '
