us 10 the Bible starts with man in garden,
a single pair-alone. This is the very
acme Of the simple, natural life. But the
last chapter Of the same old book leaves
the race at the portals Of a magnificent
city. with streets paved with pure gold
and with gates Of pearl Hence the grad
alton Of the race is toward the city The
time is approaching when farmers will
live exclusively in VILLAGES, when good
roads will bring the people into commune
ties with all the modern comforts Of life.
There is less Of the everyday comforts
that come to the family on the farm than
those possible to the dweller in the town.
This is an unusual attitude to take, but it
is manifestly true. Natural gas, water
and sewerage, electric lights, sidewalks
and improved streets make life far more
easy and comfortable than is possible
without ti,ase modern conveniences.
