Of course you appreciate the advantages offered you1 through
the growth and devolpment of the community in which you live.
If you live on the farm, you want good roads, school and
churches, a convenient market in which to dispose of your prod-
ucts, rural telephones and mail delivery, etc.
If you live in town, you want, in addition to the above-, good
streets and sidewalks, adequate water and light systems, modern
local shopping facilities—in fact every public or private utility.
Do you realize that all these things are the outcome of, and
depend upon the growth of your community, which is entirely
dependent upon the extent of local trade activitiesT

According to Jewish history the
day was celebrated by the Jewa
when they lived m Palestine as* an
agricultural festival, and marked
the closing of the harvest and the
beginning of the plowing and
rainy season. It was a festival of
rejoicing when the servant was the
equal of the master and all united
in giving praise to God for His
bountiful gifts. Pilgrimages were
made to the Temple at Jerusalem
and the people would live in has-
tily erected booths of wood, deco-
rated with fruits and flowers to
remind them of the harvest season
and the time when their ancea-
tors dwelt in booths in the wilder-
series. Few pitchers make good.
