This issue of the paper will reach some of our readers before the dedication of Alma Temple in Denver (October 31). Bro. Tuller had written a hymn for the occasion, entitled “We Dedicate this Temple, Lord,” copies of which were distributed to the congregation [at a service at Zarephath on Sunday, October 17], and he led the audience in the singing of it, to the tune of “National Hymn,”—”God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand,” etc.
We wish we all might hear it sung in
the Temple itself.

Some of our people are
slipping off to the West for the dedication. Bro. John Nolke and his family
started on their
trek in that direction bright and early Monday
morning; not
for the dedication solely, but to remain and
work there for a while. We trust they will benefit by the change and prove
a blessing in their new field.
The last one to leave so
far is Bro. C.K. Ingler, who will
be missed in this office. [Bro. Ingler’s report
is reproduced
below.]
But the rest of us are preparing to take over his work for a time. Others
may go later. Though “men may come and men may go,” as the poet says, the
paper must be ready to mail out to our interested readers on time.
