Published as second class matter at Spencer, this long note frames civilization as conquering ice and snow. It urges transforming waste of time into talent, dreaming of universal harvest and personal greatness through overcoming barriers and seizing opportunity.
Evangelist Smith sermons compare wasted alabaster and talent to mountain and desert landscapes. He frames wilderness as opportunity, urging mastery of deserts and plains, cites Sahara and Alaska as motivations, recalls childhood church memories, and ends with the building of the Church in the Wildwood.
A quarterly meeting to dedicate a new church drew a crowd from many towns with singing led by Mr. Dorsey of Grannville. Attendees recalled the original church site and honored past members as the congregation reflected on childhood in the “Little Church In The Wildwood.”
