We have been having variety
of weather of late.
A few days at the Beardsley
Springs last week renewed our
strength immensely. We often
reflect on what a kind act it has
been toward the people of Idaho,
of the Great Giver of every good
and perfect gift, to fill our State
with such an abundant supply of
mineral hot springs. 1t is a bles-
sing to be appreciated, for which
we should be thankful. Money
and time spent in this way are
well spent; much better than tC
waste it in taking that kind OF
pleasure which destroys. Father
and Mother Hallaran are untir-
ing in their kind attention to all
comers. We went and enjoyed
the waters and kind attention
go thou and do likewise.
