FAITH.
Faith nan move mountains. It
does it every day. The mine owner
who does not have faith, stops work
on his tunnel but lot Jhlm have faith
and he will drive a tnnnel clear
through the bill. The man who has
no faith in himself or in his abiilty
to do things is a failure. To inspire
ooofldenoe in others you first have to
have oonfldenoe in yourself. This law
holds good in regard to cities aa welt
as to individuals for ;the city la but
the aggregate of the individual. The
town that' gets ahead is' the one that
firmly believe it has a future. Taco
ma called herself the City of Destiny
year ago when there were fir stamps
on Paolfio avenue. People laughed.
but Tacoma has made good
The Paolfio Coast I watching Ta
coma grow. Then there Is It town
rival, Seattle. Seattle did not get
any petting In ;its early days. ' What
it got, i'fgot by digging it oat by
hardwork bat there was a faith back
of it all and the Seattle spirit has
been the result. Seattle is the
synonym for enterprise .up and down
the line. What we need in our own
community is Faith. We do not
need to go to Coos Bay to find paying
Investments, or to Hood River to raise
red apple or strawberries or sorpris
ing as It may seem, we do not bave
to go to Nevada to And gold or copper
mines. All these things are rlsht
here at our door and also a lot more
hut they will not develop of them
Bevies. It takes hard work and
privation to make success in this life
and towns have to he built up the
sniue way. So get a little faith in
ynurtelf, iu your . town, in your
country and everything will come out
iu the wash all right.
