The March of Progress Continues

The March of Progress Continues What a wonderful thing it would be to have the "Era" — our splendid faith-promoting mission- ary magazine — in every Latter- day Saint home by April 6, 1930, the Hundredth Anniversary of our Church. 'T'HE very splendid pace that has ■ been set and maintained by our Stake and Ward Officers throughout the Church gives us happy assurance that our objective will be reached — that the new Era will be in every Latter-day Saint home by April 6, 1930, the Hun- dredth Anniversary of our Church. Teton Stake Reports The Era in Every Home HTHE Era in Every Home' has -- been realized to the best of our belief and knowledge. Many non- members in Teton are also receiv- ing the Era," reports William Strong. Mt. Glen Ward of Union Stake, Littlefield Ward of Moapa Stake, and Luna Ward of St. Johns Stake report the Era in every home. "Ensign Stake over their count. We are not yet at the top of the list in percentage, either of quota or number of families, but we do call your attention to the fact that En- sign Stake is second in total num- ber of subscriptions for the entire Church. Ogden Stake is just 92 subscriptions ahead of us, and we hope to overcome this in the very near future." The Era Well Received HTHE Box Elder News com- ments: "We have had the privi- lege of reviewing an advance copy of this magazine and are sufficiently well acquainted with its points of merit that we unhesitatingly recommend it to all and say to its management we most heartily con- gratulate you and wish you un- bounded success." President Franklin S. Harris of the Brigham Young University writes: "I have just had the pleas- ure of reading rather carefully the November number of the Improve- ment Era and looking over its new make-up. I must congratulate you on the whole thing. The paper, the print, and other me- chanical features are very pleasing, and it is evident that the magazine is going to be full of interest and Leaders to December 12 % Of Stake Quota Teton 250 Union 244 Moapa . 239 Fremont 207 Taylo r 20 0 Pa rowan 180 Cassia 150 Garfield 1 5 0 Gunnison 150 Hy rum 147 Alberta 1 4 6 Maricopa 1 44 Snowflake 142 Oneida 1 3 9 Yellowstone 139 Logan , 137 Curlew 13 6 San Juan 134 Franklin 1 34 Pocatello 134 Shelley 1 3 1 Lethbridge , 130 Montpelier 130 Raft River 128 Ogden 123 St. Johns 122 Palmyra 1 2 2 Sevier 1 2 1 North Weber 120 Wasatch 1 20 Benson 1 20 Alpine 120 South Davis 120 Big Horn 1 1 9 Lyman 1 1 8 East Jordan 118 San Francisco 118 Juab 1 1 6 Cache 1 16 Oquirrh 1 16 Panguitch 1 1 2 Roosevelt 1 1 2 Malad 1 1 2 Minidoka 112 Morgan 112 Woodruff 1 1 2 Bear Lake 111 Kolob 1 1 1 St. Joseph 110 South Sevier 11Q Twin Falls 109 North Davis 109 Lehi 1 0 9 Pioneer 109 St. George 109 Juarez 108 Bannock 1 0 8 Portneuf 108 Lost River 108 Emery 108 North Sanpete 108 Box Elder 107 Idaho Falls 106 Idaho 106 Rigby 1 0 6 Los Angeles 106 Kanab 1 0 5 Timpano gos 1 0 5 Utah 104 Star Valley 103 Millard „___ 1 0 3 Ensign 103 Summit 1 0 2 Burley 100 Tooele 100 information. I cannot see how any family in the Church can af- ford to be without this magazine, and I am glad to know that such a large edition of the first number was printed. I think this is the high- water mark in journalism in the Church up to date. I con- gratulate all who had anything to do with this number." "CRpM Victor L. Lindblad, As- sistant Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, comes the fol- lowing: "Permit me to congratu- late you upon the first issue of the new improved Era. This marks a milestone in the development of Church publications. I have read with tremendous interest the ar- ticles in the paper and I was par- ticularly impressed with "The World Scout Jamboree" by Kirk- ham, Dr. John A. Widtsoe's "Eu- rope in the Melting Pot," and the article entitled "Tribute to our Pioneer Martyrs." The size of the magazine is just what it ought to be, and the entire make-up com- mands immediate, attention." Chairman Fred Schwendiman, of Fremont Stake, says: "The first issue of the new Improvement Era is at hand, and has been read with a great deal of interest and a heart- felt appreciation for every article in it. This number is worth many times the entire subscription price for the whole year. Fremont Stake is still busy getting more subscrip- tions, not so much for the honor of being so near the top, but for the blessings and increased happi- ness that will be found in every home where the Era is read." C NORMAN LEE, President of -• Box Elder Stake writes: "I received number 1 of the new Im- provement Era and thought I would write you in some detail my impresisons and opinion. The more I have gone into it, however, the more inadequate I feel. So I will just say that if you maintain the magazine on the high standard of this number, you will have to go some. I have read almost every- thing in it and am delighted and enthusiastic." From Edwin A. Smith, Manag- ing Editor of the "Idaho Farmer," comes the following: "I am deeply interested in 'A Tribute to our Pioneer Martyrs' on page 1 7 of the November issue of The Improve- ment Era."
