Our tour of inspections of missions has been replete with many wonderfully interesting and inspirational experiences; but to date, there are four which stand out like brilliant gems in a coronet, and not the least of these is the "Hui Tau" in Maori- land. Brother Cannon joins in love to all our friends. Enroute to Tonga, May 4, 1921 I'd Like To I'd like to get acquainted With the ones I know the best. I'd like to have a day at home To visit and to rest. I'd like to have a little time Aside from all this rush To mend a kiddie's broken top Or listen to a thrush. I'd like to hear my baby say The new words he has learned. I'd like to see how bread is made And watch the butter churned. I'd like to go out riding On a mule that's awful slow, And take my boys along with me Wliichever way I go. I'd like to get away from grouch, From grasping, graft and greed; I'd like to live a simple life With just the things I need. I'd like to quite forget about Our prices, bonds and bids, I'd like to get acquainted with My wife and little kids. Agnes Just Reid Shelley, Idaho.
