Good Turns

Good Turns' A "Good Turn" Company in Canada H. N. Peterson, of Barnwell ward, Canada, took ill with rheumatism, and could not care for his farm. The men of Barnwell, under direction of Bishop Lawrence Peterson, (in the foreground) turned out this year with their teams to do the work for him. Seventeen teams, sulkeys, and teamsters appeared, and in one day, plowed, seeded and rolled sixty-five acres of their sick brother's land. It was a "good turn," gladly done, and incidentally not an unusual illustration of practical religion frequently encountered in the communities of the Latter-day Saints. Similar "Good Turn" in Utah An incident of a similar character took place in Morgan county, Utah, in September. A brother in one of the settlements had a son who was disabled by accident, so seriously that he required his father daily at his bedside. In the quarterly conference September 3, one of the stake presidency gave notice of the conditions, calling upon the brethren who had teams and could go, to meet on Monday, to gather and harbor the seed peas of their sick brother. They turned out and gathered upwards of a thousand dollars' worth of peas that otherwise would have been ruined by the first storm. It was a "good turn," prompted by true religious brotherhood.
