WITH SISTERS Etta Silverfriend and Emily Bessemer, Sister Elzina Woodbury, who is nearing her ninetieth year, made the trip to Fort Myers to visit the dentist. She also called upon the barber, returning with her hair shingled. Mrs. Maud Brown, our guest from, Davenport, New York, is assisting in the work in our general store during its busiest hours. February 6 Brother Henry Silverfriend returned home fully restored, after an absence of some weeks in an Orlando, Florida, hospital. Brother Henry has been in the work for some fifty years and now feels he has at least ten more to devote to service for our Cause. 'Several of our people attended the Southwest Florida Fair in Fort Myers. All were impressed with the beauty of the display of thirty-five varieties of blooming bougainvillea and declared it to be the most colorful spot on the grounds. Brother Alien Andrews was especially interested in some wonderful specimens of wood carving, about thirty in number. We quote from The American Eagle as follows: "Outstanding of them all was a six-yoke ox team, log-cart and driver with whip in hand, all carved from one 14-inch block. "Another piece portrayed the figure of an oldtime country doctor, with glasses on nose, astride his steed, on a professional call. With upraised hat in right hand, he ,salutes, while in left is carried his riding-whip. The piece is complete in detail, even to wrinkles on his forehead and the little rowels in his spurs which turn freely in their socket. "The main tool used in the carving was the ordinary pocket knife." On February 10 our hearts were cheered, and our dinner the more enjoyed, owing to a bouquet of different shades of beautiful yellow nasturtiums from the flower gardens of Sisters Florence Graham and Alwina Lorweer being placed in the center of each table. Brother Geo. Hunt and Arthur Moore on February 13 motored to Bonita Springs Beach in quest of fish and oysters. The result: fish for dinner Monday and oysters for supper, which were immensely enjoyed. Through the kindness of Brother Conrad Schenley's sister, Mrs. Frank Dashek of California, he is now happily wearing a new hearing device. Brother Conrad had not heard the rustle of the leaves nor a bird's song for thirty years and is now learning anew human voices and various other sounds. Owing to the kind thoughtfulness of Mrs. Lillian Rugg, we enjoyed in the dining-room a huge bouquet of several beautiful varieties of gladiolus. Sister Lillian, who lived in the Unity for a number of years, is always interested in the work here. On February 15 Mrs. Jennie Campbell and daughter, Mrs. Edith Trebell, had several of our sisters as dinner guests and to spend a pleasant evening. Sister Ida Fischer was invited to remain a few days, and she reports a most pleasant visit. Mr. and Mrs. George Simpson of Detroit and Estero were our dinner guests on February 20. They rescued a young eagle from its nest in a fallen pine tree, which Mrs. Simpson is now rearing to maturity. On February 20 Mr. Albert Maine of Gloversville, N. Y., arrived on the noon bus. He visited for a few days old friends in the Unity. He is the son of the late Brother George Maine, who, for a number of years, kept our grounds so neatly trimmed. We have greatly appreciated the entertaining violin solos rendered during the month by Brother Laurence Bubbett at our Sunday evening services. The one of February 20, "Angel's Serenade," by Braga, was especially appealing. The violin accompaniments are ably rendered by Mrs. Edith Trebell, who so long and faithfully has accompanied the Sunday evening singing. The readings by Sister Etta Silverfriend of KORESH'S writings have also been enjoyed, and the floral decorations by Brother Theodore Naeselius are always a feast for the eyes and soul. The following was read from the writings of KORESH at the Sunday evening services of February 20: "The laws of stratification are as unmistakably and inevitably operative in anthropo-structural arrangement as in geologic lamination; and no possible attempt to hypothetize the human race into a homogeneous stratum or plane of equality can effect an incongruous moral and social equality. "A genuine national economy will classify the skill and ability of all mankind, and adapt these to industrial uses and their products, and distribute not according to equality, but according to equity. God will be the Father of the regenerated from the, Son of God, who was planted in the race that he might be resurrected in all regenerated men. God will become the Father of such as will become the Sons of God in future generations, as he will now become the Father of his offspring ripening for the present harvest. No nationalism can mature until the outpouring of the baptism, upon which must depend the fulness of fruition." On Monday, February 21, Brothers A. H. Andrews, Laurence Bubbett and Lou H. Staton, and Sisters Barbara Ehrisman and Florence Graham motored to Winter Haven, visiting the Cypress Gardens. They returned by way of Sebring, where Brother Alien attended the annual business meeting of the Highlands Hammock State Park Association.
