many passengers were trampled,
bowled over and in some cases injured.
No serious injuries, however, have
been reported. At least two women

up much for their religion, it is only
because they are getting more than
they are giving. Do not fret about
them, They know what they are
doing. They have found the pearl OF
great price. If you have not found
it. do not scorn them for their vision.
Pray for the time when you discover
the pearl. If the cody life seems to
be bleak and barren it is only because
you have looked at some life which
was not cody. A mother does not
weep because she must lay aside her
dolls for her baby. If you still are
playing with the dolls of the moral
and spiritual world, do not show your
immaturity by plying them who are
farther along the road of life than you
are. Just stop and pray to your
Father that He may guide the feet
which have carelessly trampled over
the hidden treasures of the world to a
field where the coins of a divine
kingdom lie bare to your vision. Then
you also will with joy go to sell all
that you have to buy this field"
