The Toiler

THE BROWN SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDER 401

In conclusion, let us call to the fore once again the part played by Alma in all this. Hundreds of years before the existence of such maritime knowledge, as is now in our possession, he refers to two vessels having been lost in those waters (where the bottle began its journey two thousand years later). What is more natural than to draw the fair conclusion that very easily a small, clumsily constructed craft, devoid of other propellling power than wind or wave, could easily have become dismantled in a squall, and, drifting sailless and rudderless, where would she have been heard from next ? Anyone will logically exclaim : "The bottle and boat traversed identically the same course." To lengthen this particular part of our discussion would fail to add to its impressiveness, and we shall reserve for the succeed- ing article of conclusion the remaining array of facts that establish from various standpoints the identity of our brown brother of the South Seas, simply suggesting that from Alma 63 :5-8 may be evolved a very consistent and logical reason for holding to the Israelitish origin of the brown islander, as we do.

The Toiler

O toiler, weary of your task, With head bowed low; O breaking heart, and weary soul; O son of woe, Work on, and bear your load. Those idle few Who wallow in their gold Are less than you.

Although your health may fail,

Your soul is white. Their souls will rust in them; They are as night. "Allye who are weary and heavy laden, Come unto me, And I will give you rest," Christ calls to thee. Guy Coleman midway, utah
