It is Mr. Hallyburton’s opinion oc000000040000000040099049*** **************08*800099 that if the Umatilla dam is built similar conditions will prevail. All the small towns will be greatly benefited and all vacant land here would be settled. The policy of the government is against speculation, but aids and permits investments and legitimate enterprises. Business men in all lines at Grand Coulee have been successful. The Umatilla dam would be only about one-third the size of the Grand Coulee low dam but the location is so favor able that large outside enterprises would be fostered and developed.

The Golden Text was: "Pre serve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust” (Ps. 16: 1). Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Serrmon was the following from the Bible: “Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preserves! them all” (Neh. 9: 6). The Lesson-Sermon also includ ed the following correlative pass ages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures”, by Mary Baker Eddy: “As the chil dren of Israel were guided tri umphantly through the Red Sea, the dark ebbing and flowing tides of human fear .... so shall the spiritual idea guide all right de sires in their passage from sense to Soul, from a material sense of existence to the spiritual, up to the glory prepared for them who love God” (p. 56(!)). The price of labor on the dam is an average of $5 a day, or $30 a week at 40 hours. Common labor is $4 a day, and skilled labor more. Jobs for good workers are continu ous. The local county communities are allowed a large say in who the workers are, and the government protects the workers in every way.
