home state and half way back, and our
admiration still mounts and our won

having between Greeniand's Icy noun
tains and India's coral strand that you
are not blest with? Your state SO
richly endowed reminds me of the
eminent divine who, describing the
wonderful works of the Creator in con-
trasts, said: God made the suns and
stars in the heavens; He made the
tiniest grain of said; He made the
mighty ocean; He made the sparkling
dewdrop; He made the teaming forest;
He made the barren desert; He made
California; He made a daisy
Expresses Regard
1--WE of the east think a great deal
of you in the west. 1t may be because
we have pretty fair opinion OF our
selves and further because you are our
brothers. 1t is said that all men are
brothers, but the kinship between alen
races is not SO strong as that between
Americans divided by nothing more

gratitude and keen appreciation OF our
entire party. We hope you realize It.
I'VE want you to know that we Will
ever bear with us the memory of our
visit to your City of the AngeiS ana
that it seems to us about as near to
heaven as anything In our geography
this side Of the simon pure cherubims.
We regret that New York Is over 5000
miles from such an apparent nearness
to- heaven and from your locality, put

will try to dor unto you as you have
done unto us-fill your souls with un-
