The whole country was unuer water,
and the people, AZ the expenditure NJ
Liteon hundred millions Of dollars,
built dykes along the shore and eK.
cludod the sea irom the lands upon
which they live, aud In which they
are now 40 prosperous. There was

TO keep his ear open TO catch the sound
OF tue bell which might call him 20
work upon the dykes 10 prevent his
home from destruction. Yet today
that little country with three anu
hall millions Of people, Is prosperous.
IL 10 Lue there Is poverty Ia Holland,
as In all other countries Of Europe;
but Il ~ not because the people arc
thrlitlens or idle, but II 10 because Of
the Immense burdens which the gov

OF Europe which dAres 10 decrease It's

from those surrounding II, lest II should
be overrun by the oOyet0us people OF
the earth, who are continually seeking
occasion against ono another. Then,
take In contrast tho other picture.
Look at Turkey, with the vast country
which that nation c0ntrols-six hun.

the people live In squAlOr anu poverty,
because they are not industrious; be-
cause they allow their land TO pro luce
only that which II will Of Its own

bring from II what 1t is capable OF

We, brethren and Hlsters, have the
name OF being industrious, OF being |
frugal, Of being thrifty; and our 70.
