This is but another step along "The Pendleton Way" of doing things, ar.u It gives me opportunity to bs that no matter where I have moved among all kinds and conditions of men, I have never found any that Pi ssessed a better way, a better spirit than the Pendleton community. Among you there Is less Ill-will more good-will, less narrowness more liberality, less alms giving mere real charity, less professing mere performance, less friction more co-operation, less Inflation more sub stance and genuineness than else where. And you have here the reason why I have borne you In mind, why I have ncer hesitated to pour water on Pen dleton's wheel of progress, why I have encouraged strangers as well as friends to go among you and come back with the same heart throhs toward you as I carry myself. Tou reap as you hsve sown. The memories of the twenty-five years of my youth that T lived among you, are the most precious of my pos sessions, and to know yours of me are Just as sincere. Just as sacred, as mine are of you, Is a realization that too seldom comes to any man. Bless you, my friends!
