The economic structure of any political division Is, by
no means limited in Its make-up, or dependents, even in s
minor measure, upon bank deposits, tall commercial buildings,
industrial operations or fine homes. The very
lifeblood of the structure is the great prin
ciple of good living and, with this as the pre
dominating element, the aforementioned
resources are bound to follow. Salem and
the Oregon country were founded by those
early settlers who inherited the traditions of
their forefathers. Chief among these is the
tradition which asserts: "No community can
hope to exist, much less grow strong snd
exert influence outside of its own boundaries,
unless its people believe In and worship
God." From the date of Its beginning the
churches of Salem have exerted a powerful
influence on the social, economic and cultural life of tba city.
Essentially the lifeblood of a community flows through
its spiritual structure. Physical things are born, they grow,
they perish. The spiritual edifice remains. Thus, is found
the churches in the community to furnish the proper back
ground for ita children the right basis for their lives so
thst when they become men and women Ihey have the right
conception of the attitude for public service.
