rearing the children of the other points of the compass. Western
humanity represents, or has in it, the flower of all sections, Every
part OF this great union, and, almost every part of the world, has con-
trlbuted to western life, society, business and morality. One class
you will not find, viz: THE DRONE, THE SLUGCARD.
Western humanity has many things to distinguish it, taken as a
whole, or individually.
First. It is a sincere life. Each person. saint or sinner. is pro-
foundy in earnest. 1t is strenuous life multiplied several times.
lime and speed are money. THE WEST HAS BUT ONE DAY
IN IT'S CALENDAR, VIZ. TO-DAY. OF course that will be cor
reded in after years, when each phase of life becomes thoroughly
organized. There are no old roads, ruts, or routine channels. Each
is busy surveying or blazing a path for himself. All are occupied
with the task of building the roads over which future generations
will walk into the paradise of civilization. MEN ARE HERE TO
ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING, TO DO THINGS. This is the
field and life of demonstrations. If you cannot demonstrate do not
come west.
Second. 1t is a competent life. From every state can be found
brain, Drawn and skill. Many of the great universities and colleges
have their stars in this western galaxy. The westerner brought with
him the skilled methods and profound knowledge of the ages of
civilization. HE DID NOT COME HERE TO LEARN, BUT TO
APPLY HIS TALENTS IN THIS, THE MOST INVITING
FIELD IN THE WORLD. He came to touch the mountains of
gold and turn them into kingdoms Of wealth. He came to harness
the pretty, fresh streams flowing from snow-capped mountain crests,
and light cities, build factories and drive cars. He came to water
arid lands and turn them into the most productive gardens in Amer
lea. lie came to subdue the dense forests Of wealth and supply the
lumber and single markets of the world. He came to stand on a
dock, in a matchless harbor, and be a controlling factor in the COM
merce of nations, and especially in the golden orient. WESTERN
HUMANITY IS ACTIVITY PLUS BRAIN AND CHARACTER.
Third. 1t is a congenial life. The westerner is anxious to live,
and he is more than willing to let Others live. In fact, he is ever
ready to help one live. AS long as one demonstrates merit he is ones
friend, and will betriend one in every way possible. A kinder people
never lived n milk of human Kindness from every section finds its
universal heart in western life. You will be welcomed, aided and
tested, and if found wanting, you will be most severely let alone. OF
course, many come west, forget home, church and God in the mad
rush for wealth. The religious life OF the western humanity, is beauti-
tul, sincere worsmpful, pious, and truly divine. The churches and
schools flourish, and the Masters Kingdom is rapidly advancing. The
pure Gospel is preached, believed and practiced. This life demands
religious food. Doctrines and beliefs must be clearly and honestly
stated. Christ is loved and received as a personal redeemer, and ere
soon, His Sunday will be universally kept. In the motion of time. and
the progress of truth, western, eastern, southern and northern human
iy will all be lost in the humanity of Christ, the democracy Of life. the
peace OF society and the prosperity Of the common people. In this
victory, western humanity will be prominent.
