ing the coming New Year as in the
past try to advance the interest of
her citizens along moral, social and

Pres. Elder, F. M. Church
The outlook for the acquisition of
human rights was never more aus
picious than in this year of super

erty but an instrument to serve hu-
manity-a humanity enlightened, ex-
alted and disenthralled.

Best hopes for prosperous year
for everybody
