Johnston A very commendable desire on the part of man and woman is the hunger for a home. Tracing back to the days of Abraham, we can see the result of home-building. On one side was the race of Isaac who built homes and prized them. On the other hand, the race of Ishmael. The last mentioned was nomadic. They were wanderers of the desert and as easily moved from one place to the other, as the shifting sands on which they pitched their camel skin tents. A comparison between the two races proves that the race of home-builders were far superior to that of the wanderers, and goes to show that a nation of home-buildr ers is as sound as the rock of Gibraltar. There is a great difference between a house and a home. To some people, a home is merely an address in the city directory; merely a place to hang their hats. Just a place to hang hats, just a mere ad- dress, is entirely the wrong way to think about home and what the word means. To those people it is just a house; a house of cards, a house built on sand. There is nothing to fortify it. It is a frail gossamery thing at its best, that the first wind of adversity would level to the ground. Take a house and put a man and woman inside. Add love and understanding and a very liberal measure of religion. You are now starting to build a real home. You are not building on the sand, but on solid rock. Then, let there be added healthy, happy children, and the home is complete. It has ceased to be a mere house. It is a home. Have you ever planted a tree? No? You should have done so this Spring. Plant the tree around your own home. Learn the joy of watch- ing it grow. Watch it spread its sheltering branches over your roof tree. Plant flowers and shrubs, and see how eager they are to tell you their message of love and happiness. They too, have a part in making your home, and they are anxious to tell their secret to all who will stop and listen. The home is a divine institution promoting and preserving fam- ily life. Those who shirk the responsibilities of making a home show that something is lacking in their make-up. They lack the element of social well-being. Sometimes they fear that the owning of a home will take away some selfish pleasure of life. They shun responsibility, and he who shuns responsibility never left a living name after he had passed into the land of the departed. Every effort you make to gain a home is uplifting and inspir- ing. There can be no genuine happiness without one. A man who has no ambition to build a home is shirking a sacred THE TIE THAT BINDS 749 ) duty. He is refusing his children what rightfully is theirs. One of the saddest answers a man can give to the question: "Where is your home?" is: "I never had any. We just rented and moved around. Now the family is split and scattered to the four corners of the world." Just consider such an answer. The pity of it, and true in thousands of cases. When the boy or girl out in the world meets trouble, there is a need, an urgent one, for the old home with its living, breathing influ- ence of love and past associations to help face the battle of life. A home is not a home, unless there dwells perfect love and trust between husband and wife. Home is a place of love, order and per- fect confidence where the foul breath of suspicion or slander dare not enter. Reflected in the children's characters, it is a good bit of advice to follow when looking for a mate, to first get acquainted with the homelife of your future partner. Therein, you can generally see your own future mirrored quite plainly. Peace and contentment is the rule with each more than willing to bear his share of the burden. There is a kiss for mother and a hug for father. There seems to prevail a mysterious influence which seems to say: "Father and mother, we are grateful that you sacrificed to let us come to earth and live with you. We are happy, for we know, that you thought enough of your sacred duty to God to establish a home from which, in time, we may fare forth, cheered in the knowledge, that when our feet grow tired your door will always stand ajar, and a light burning in the window to light our way. This is our home. Be it ever so humble, how proud we are to know that it will always be here." The home is more than a place to live in. It is, in truth, our earthly inheritance. Tobar, Nevada A Latter-day Saint Husband to His Wife My loved one! days and years so swiftly run! On this occasion you are seventy-one. The past is gone, and on this special date We may review — and also speculate. To me you are the truest — kindest wife — My soul's companion — partner of my life — Who shares my sorrows — makes my joys more sweet, And duties, done with pleasure, more complete. Stand by me still, dear heart; and, when you can, Step forth to aid again Christ's saving plan, Assisting in the Temple of the Lord To bring to others highest, best reward. Then with our children, in the time to be — Our Father serving, from earth's troubles free — We shall progress throughout Eternal life, Rejoicing still — true husband and true wife. L. Lula Greene Richards. "STAN" MURRAY— FAILURE By Frank C. Steele George Sanderson and Stanley, "Stan," Murray were college men together. They belonged to the same clubs, mingled with the same crowd, and after four years of study and social stir they were graduated together, and together went out into the world with degrees to their names. "Jud" — as George Sanderson was called in college circles — entered business. "Stan" became principal of a high school. Four years passed finding George Sanderson swiftly mounting the ladder of success. He was assistant general manager of the Inter- Ocean Steel Products Company, of Pittsburgh and Montreal, with a small army of employees under him. Everything seemed to "break" right for him. He was already receiving a large salary and his invest- ments had returned him rich dividends. Wealth, with the power it brings to man, came to George Sanderson on magic wing. In the fifth year of his service with the Inter-Ocean people, George married Constance Adair, daughter of the head of a prom- inent Chicago bank. The marriage was a social sensation, columns were devoted to it in the great national newspapers, out of bulwarks of type the faces of the principals smiled, and even on their honey- moon in Europe, they were hounded by news writers. On returning from abroad, the young steel magnate was elected vice-president of the company. And all the while "Stan" Murray filled his job as principal of the Riverdale High School. He, too, had grown. Under his super- vision the school became known as the "best high school in the state." Prominent educators visited the institution to study the methods of Stanley Murray, for the Riverdale High School was marked with the spirit and genius of its head. One day, in September, "Stan" received an announcement of the marriage of his old college chum, "Jud" Sanderson. Strange, but that very same day the announcement of his own marriage to Viola Willard, daughter of Judge Cyrus Willard of Riverdale, was mailed to the business address of "Jud" in Pittsburgh. Another year and a half passed. Then another letter came from "Jud" this time offering his old pal a lucrative position in the general offices of the Inter-Ocean Steel company. "Come east, Stan, and win real success, you are buried out there in Riverdale. Whoever heard of Riverdale? Stan, old man, you have to be in Big Business these days to make the world sit up and listen. Come and join our staff. I have just the place for you, at a real salary and with a chance to go still farther," he wrote. "STAN" MURRAY— FAtLURfe ?5l It looked mighty tempting to the principal of the Riverdale High School. But he turned down the offer with thanks. "Stan" Murray preferred to teach fifty-two young men and women, future citizens of the nation and the world, to plunging into the maze of business in Pittsburgh's fire and smoke. The little rose-covered bungalow on Maple avenue appealed more to the Murrays than did a flat in any city. Furthermore, there was a third Murray now, and the proud parents wanted the young hopeful to be reared in that same little bungalow beneath country skies. And the years passed, one by one, bringing with them increasing wealth, distinction and promotion to George Sanderson. Impressed by a series of highly successful missions for the company abroad and in Latin America, he was made president of the Inter-Ocean. It now seemed that he had reached the zenith of his career, that he possessed everything needed to satisfy the cravings of any man. The business world lay at his feet. He had wealth, position, friends. And he was still a comparatively young man. His rise had been amazingly rapid, but the stress of the race had left its mark. His health was not good. He had pains in the head at times, his breath was short, and he was a bit nervous in the conference chamber. This annoyed and worried him. It irritated his wife, who moved in an exclusive set, a life that made exacting demands and levied heavy tolls. Sanderson's doctor said it was his heart so he was bundled off to Southern California for a long rest. As his private car rolled over the great western plains the steel baron collapsed and he reached Los Angeles in a serious condition. The break-down came in February. By June he was on his feet again, but exceedingly weak. Toward the end of the month Sanderson had a visitor. A tall, athletic-looking gentleman, with three children, two boys and a girl, called at his hotel. "The name, please?" asked a pale, overworked secretary. "Just say 'Stan' Murray — that's all," replied the caller. Two minutes later the old varsity chums were again together as they were in the days of the delightful past; only, one who then was on the football team now sat in an invalid's chair. It was a joyous reunion. College days were recalled. The Jives of the old class traced step by step until Stan's came up for review. "Jud, I believe I grace the bottom of the list. I have made the least success of any in the old class. Here I am still tinkering away at school teaching. To be sure, I have a department at the Univer- sity, but practically all the fellows, including yourself, Jud, are power- ful leaders in their spheres." "You say you are in the University now, Stan? Which depart- ment?" "Political economy." "How splendid. The^ nation needs men like you, men who know real values, and whose lives are consistent with their ideals." ?52 IMPROVEMENT ERA "I often get discouraged, for I feel that I have accomplished so little in life." "Old man, don't feel that way. It will finally get you, under- mine your confidence, your courage. And the nation, I repeat, can- not afford to lose men like you." "You know, Jud, I have often regretted rejecting your offer." "You have? I was disappointed for a time. But, Stan, I'm mighty glad now, you did turn down the job." "Why, Jud, I don't understand. You don't infer that I would have been a failure?" There was a silence. Tears came to the eyes of the invalid. His voice shook. "Yes, Stan — like I have failed." Then — "Are these your children, Stan?" "My very own except Viola's share, which is a good bit. You see I brought the wife and kiddies with me this summer. I am lectur- ing at the university summer school this year." "Three beautiful children — two boys and a girl. How grand!" "Yes; we think so. We are mighty proud of them." There was another silence. Then the man in the wheel chair took the white-frocked Miss Murray on his knee and stroked her golden curls. "You say you are a failure, Stan. Never say that again. You are the success; I the failure." "Don't rub it in now, old man," laughed Stan. "I mean it — every word of it. I have amassed wealth. I am known in New York, London, Cape Town. When I travel I ride in a private car or a special train. I am dogged by newspapermen. I dine with men who sit in the seats of the mighty. But I lack — happiness. My health is broken. I have no child to bear my name. And — and — Stan — I am confronted with the shame and humiliation of a divorce suit." "Jud — dear, old Jud — can this be true?" "It is. Failure! Failure! Stan, to you has come all the sweets of life. I am worth a million but I have never looked into the eyes of my child." Lethbridge, Aha., Canada Thought-Crumbs With the man who knows it all, it is always too late to learn. The still small voice can be heard by those who are totally deaf. All human beings have equal chances in this world; even the smelt uses the same bath-tub that a whale does. Bumps of knowledge are given to all who are educated in the Col- lege of Hard Knocks. — DOROTHY C. R.ETSLOFF. MESSAGES FROM THE MISSIONS "Behold, I send you out to prove the world, and the laborer is worthy of his hire. * * * Whoso receiveth you receiveth me; and the same will feed you and clothe you, and give you money. And he who feeds you, or clothes you, or gives you money, shall in no wise lose his reward." — Doc. and Cov. 84:79, 89, 90. A Kind Hearted People in Hawaii Elder O. Leroy Sanders, writing from Napoopoo, Hawaii, T. H., March 20, reports that the South Hawaiian conference has a large territory, and the missionaries are required to do all their traveling on foot — a very healthy exercise. The extent of the conference is 125 miles long, covering North and South Kona and Ka'u. The writer reports that he has traveled 3,000 miles on foot during the past year, barring exceptions when kind motorists assisted him partly along the road. "A man picked us up one day and said that whenever he rides along the roads and meets a young man, clear of complexion and free from dissipation, he always gives him a ride because he knows he is a 'Mormon' missionary. He can tell them every time. One of the big features in our work among the Hawaiian race is by example, by which they are more easily and permanently impressed. One old lady, for whom we usually stop off on our way to chop wood or pound poy, told her minister that if he wasn't careful she would be joining the Mormons,' as they practice the doctrine of helpfulness. Our work is pro- gressing steadily in all the branches, though not much is heard from Hawaii. The people are the most open and kind-hearted in the world. One's imag- ination flies beyond bounds when he tries to imagine what a wonderful para- dise this land would be if 'Mormonism' had been the first doctrine intro- duced into Hawaii. We extend our appreciation to the Era and broadcast our 'Aloha Nui Loa' to all." Missionaries of South Hawaii conference, left to right: Orin D. Brown, Ogden; Edward L. Taggart, Salt Lake; O.

The Labors of Five Elders in Three German Cities Elder Wayne Kartchner, writing from Landsberg, Germany, March 25, reports that these five brethren are laboring in three cities, namely, Dresden, with a population of 10,000, where their labors began last August; Lands- 754 IMPROVEMENT ERA berg, with 45,000 population where they began their labors also in August; and Custrin, with 20,000 population where their labors began in January last and where they still have no members, but have an average of seventy- five friends in the meetings. In Dresden there were sixteen baptized last fall, and in Landsberg, eighteen. He concludes: "We enjoy reading the Era very much and our friends take great interest in its illustrations and oth:r features." Missionaries, left to right: Wayne Moss and Otto Andra, Salt Lake City, laboring in Dresdn; G. A. Wellers. of Schneidemuhl, Germany; and Roy Scharman, Salt Lake City; Wayne Kartchner, Provo, who labor in Landsberg and Custrin. In Danzig and Lithuania "The Improvement Era makes it's way to the mor.t northern clime of the Swiss and German mission and is ever given a warm reception by the missionaries of the Konigsberg conference. The Era is considered a source of material for use in the mission field, and is treated as a warm friend from Zion. In this way it serves as a connecting link between us and home. The Konigsberg conference has seven organized branches, also two new fields of labor. We have a total membership of 684 souls, 107 of whom were baptized during the year 1923, and 23 thus far, in 1924. Many sincere people are proving susceptible to the gospel message from day to day. The conditions here are very favorable for preaching the gospel, as there are but few instances of acute adversity to be found. Two of the seven branches are located in seaport towns, Danzig and Memel, neither of which is subject to German rule, Danzig being a free city and having an operative government of its own, and Memel belongs to Lithuania. In both of these cities they have their distinctive money systems and city ordinances. Travelers are subject to tariff, and passport inspection, every few minutes. Very radical changes are to be noticed in the course of only a very short ride. One may visit a modern factory, in the city, where the latest inventions are brought into operation, and where modern ideas flourish on every side, while on the other hand, in the outlying country districts, only a short distance from the former, the very crudest of implements and the most meager of furnishings are in use. The ox or cow is still used to plow the land, the flour is ground between rocks, mother earth is used as flooring, MESSAGES FROM THE MISSIONS 755 and what the father is, so will the son become. The people are unassuming, contented, and easily satisfied; however, they are very sincere, and prove to be ready lovers of the gospel. In Selbongen, we have met with much success. In this field alone there are approximately 300 to 400 friends, and more are being won every day. It is expected, with the coming of Spring, that our numbers will be increased very materially, and especially in this particular district where our friends are so numerous.

Hansen, conference president, Berlin, Germany, under date of March 18, reports: "We were exceedingly fortunate in having President David O. McKay with us and President Fred Tadje, with visiting elders from Hamburg, Hannover and Stettin conferences on the date of our con- ference, March 9, 1924. Due to the tolerance of the Berlin city govern- ment, we obtained the use of the City Hall for our Sunday conference meet- ings. It served our purpose admirably, as it is centrally located and has a large seating capacity. Without advertising we had an attendance of over 1,000 Saints and friends at our Sunday School and afternoon meetings; and at the evening session we had the privilege of preaching the gospel to 1,276 people who had assembled. Some of our older Saints called attention to the fact that we were hold- ing our meetings that day almost in the shadow of the Alexanderplatz prison where so many elders were confined before the war because they had the audacity to preach forbidden 'Mormonism.' 5 a 13:3 ■ oi •£ w s * W .Si, PU "g O h 2 £ O ."2 u s < Oh MESSAGES FROM THE MISSIONS 757 Here in Berlin the obstacles which missionaries generally encounter have been removed so that the people have a fair chance to hear the gospel. Persecution either by unfriendly pastors or the press is practically unknown, and what little has been said against us has reacted entirely in our favor by sending many people to our meetings out of curiosity. Friends and investi- gators greatly outnumber the Saints in Berlin, and we have found it neces- sary to open a new branch recently, making four branches here now. Our success naturally brings enthusiasm to the elders and Saints. Since the stabilization of the mark, conditions in general are improv- ing. Most forms of business are picking up as the people are now able to save money toward making purchases. The street beggars who formerly infested the city have practically disappeared and everyone seems to have taken a new lease on life. The Saints in particular are blessed in many ways. There is very little unemployment among them and want is diminish- ing at a rapid rate. For the past few months we have been able to take care of most of the poor with what we receive as fast offerings or donations to our Relief Societies. We look for the Era as a link connecting us with home. Those of our Saints who read English enjoy it as much as we do." — W. H. Hansen, Berlin, Germany. Organization of the French Mission The semi-annual conference of the Liege conference, Belgium, now a part of the newly organized French mission, was held, commencing at Seraing, February 22, and continuing at Liege, February 23-24-25. Those in attendance were President David O. McKay from Liverpool ; President Charles S. Hyde and Sister Lanora Hyde of the Netherlands Mission; Russell H. Blood from Liverpool; President Rulon T. Hinckley and seven elders from the Lausanne conference in Switzerland; F. Orin Woodbury from the Hannover conference in Germany, as well as President Erwin R. Spilsbury, all the traveling elders of the Liege conference and five traveling elders from the Netherlands Mission. The first meeting was attended by 215 people, 100 or more of whom were friends and investigators. The next evening in Liege the second ses- sion was held. Liege was the first branch to be reopened in this territory in 1921, some little time after the Armistice, and since that time commendable results have been obtained by united efforts in all phases of missionary work. It is now the. largest branch in the French Mission. At 10 a. m. Sunday morning 65 Saints and friends gathered at the Natation on the Meuse River to witness the baptism of eleven candidates. In spite of disagreeable weather, it was a most impressive ceremony and was followed by a confirmation meeting for those baptized. President McKay, the first speaker at the afternoon session, explained the plan of uniting the French-speaking peoples under one mission — up to this time the Lausanne conference having been connected with the Swiss- German mission and the Liege conference adjoined to the Netherlands mis- sion. He stated that the French mission is now an independent unit, and this ought to be an incentive to its members to redouble their efforts to spread the gospel. He then presented Russell H. Blood as president of the French mission. Elder Blood was sustained by a unanimous vote. At the evening session Conference President Erwin R. Spilsbury re- ported that attendance in departments and meetings held in 1923 had in- creased 100% over 1922. President McKay gave a most interesting dis- course, speaking first on the great change that has taken place in the Liege conference during the preceding two years. He told of his visit in 1921 when there were only two elders in Belgium and no choir. By relating some incidents on his recent trip to the Holy Land, he showed that Christ- 758 IMPROVEMENT ERA ianity, as the world practices it today, has failed to bring the "peace and good will" that was announced by the angel heralding the birth of the Savior. "Before such a state of good will can exist, it is necessary that this civilization live Christ's plan, even as he willed it. On the spot where the Lord's birth is recorded by tradition to have taken place, there are four altars for worship, belonging to the Greek Catholic, the Roman Catholic, the Armenian, and the Coptic Churches respectively. At the Armenian altar no Greek Catholic adherent or sympathizer may prostrate himself to offer his supplications, nor may a Roman Catholic bow down before the altar of the Coptics, or vice versa. Some time ago two men were killed on this spot of sacred ground because a carpet or a piece of drapery belonging to one altar had been placed accidentally or unintentionally, it seems, just a few inches beyond the line of the altar to which it belonged. At another place of wor- ship, in the interior of a sepulchre are certain old and precious pictures hanging on the walls, only the frames of which are visible, on account of accumulated dust and cobwebs — and all because of the fact that Coptics will not permit Roman Catholics to clean them, nor will the Armenians trust the Greek Catholics to clean them in removing the dirt which hides their beauty." Such striking evidences of "good will toward men" as well as other citations of existing conditions were related by President McKay. He declared that such conditions cannot foster that state which has been prom- ised— "peace on earth and good will toward men." The immediate needs and problems of the new mission were discussed and each wo:ker expressed himself happy to be able to take part in this new, independent unit, the French mission. — Grant J.

MESSAGES FROM THE MISSIONS 759 Interesting News from Hawaii Elder Henry J. DeHaan, writing from the Kauai conference, Hawaiian mission, reports the elders having enjoyed their labors in that district for the past year. The Lord has been very kind to them and blessed them with success in many ways. "The field is large and there is a big work yet to be done. We have been able to organize two branches and are glad to report that these are making wonderful progress. With the help of the Saints we have been able to get a new car which will help us greatly in pushing the work. The Hawaiian people are kind hearted and very willing to help those in need and to listen to the elders. We are erecting a large social hall that will help the work in Kapaee. The crowds that have attended our conference sessions have been too large for our chapels, so we must find a building that can ho'.d rao.e. We appreciate the Era as a good friend. We desire to further the good work of the Hawaiian mission and we pray that the same blessings that we enjoy may be with every mission and missionary."

Bits of Philosophy Pride is paralysis of the soul. It is when you do not work for pay that you really get paid for your work. He has the clearest sight, who can see most distinctly the flaws in his own character. The holiest action done in an unholy way, may become the most unholy thing in the world. He is truly educated who can understand the true, live the good, and appreciate the beautiful. The impure thought is the most deadly thing in the world; it is more destructive of civilization, and human well-being, than all the wars and pestilences of history. — NEPHI JENSEN.
