romise of eternal
happiness to be gained by a life of endless progression, without first
having lived a life of love? The smile of love is the rainbow of life!
Every tender emotion of love is a prayer, pure and potent, for a higher
life.
"The truth of these things, my sweet heart, I realize more fully each
day. I feel and know that every link in the chain of eternal existence,
is a link of love! My love for you has been for me a spiritual blessing
indeed! It has opened the eyes of my soul, so that I may perceive the
significance of the miracle of love, which must precede the miracle of
birth, as the necessary beginning of the unfoldment of the individual up

these people! Fortunate indeed, was the time when I was chosen by you to
discover, select and institute Solaris Farm, with the broad humanitarian
work which its success represents. Each memory of this farm; of my every
thought, plan or deed for its improvement: of its people; of their
lives, health, and happiness; of their sublime confidence in me, of the
prompt obedience they so cheerfully render to my slightest command; of
the peculiar pride expressed by the appreciation of their importance as
working units of the farm, all united, harmoniously blended, in one
perfected co-operative mass;--is a memory made more
