if any movement on earth deserves as
sistance, it is one engaged in helping
the future man-power of the world.

much-enjoyed addition to our social
welfare. 1t is in use every evening in
some way or another.

Sunday, Dec "a. - Xmas is near,
and kind membranes from friends
Of the Colony and from friends and re-
latives Of colohists are pouring into our
community. We never knew we had
SO many friends and well-wishers, and
the only fitting response we can send
them is to hope that some day they
will be living among us in a civilization
that their hearts desire to see estab-
lished. Sell all you have, give to the
poor. and follow me. one young man
was told 1000 years ago. | would
change it to-day, because his plan was
not carried out. Put all your worldly
goods into the cooperative movement,
abolish suspicion, greed and jealousy
from your heart, join our movement,
and devote the rest Of your time 10 es-
tablishing the cooperative common
wealth. 1t is the only thing worth the
working for. IF you would do it all
