mbled at Washington, George and
Gertrude Gerrish were especially prominent. To them was assigned the
task of organizing the lecturing or missionary bureau of the Crusade;
its trained force of traveling educators. The good work accomplished by
this force, was another well earned tribute to their extraordinary skill
as organizers. As well fitted for the responsible duties; George Gaylord
and Honora Eloise Houghton, having become inseparable friends, engaged
lovers, and finally a well-mated, conjugal couple; were placed in
charge of the traveling educators on the Pacific Slope. So eloquently
and effectively did they labor in this wide field, that throughout its
length and breadth, they became very popular, winning hosts of friends
for themselves and the cause.

Solaris Farm and village, the working center of the movement, soon
doubled many times, its territory and population. It became an important
manufacturing center, which made an ideal home for the National
Co-operative Farm School; a normal school, which every year graduated
teachers by the score. The history of Solaris as the initial farm made
it so famous, that thousands of enthusiastic co-operators annually visit
it. It is the business of the reception committee appointed by the
normal school, to receive, entertain and instruct these visitors.

Gilbert Gerrish, true to his arisen sweetheart, and to his own peculiar
purpose in life; declined to leave Solaris, with his parents. Indeed, he
was so universally beloved by its young people, that they could not, and
would not give him up! To the visiting stranger, he seems by far the
most popular and the most highly honored young man in the village. This
distinguished consideration, he has rightfully and honestly earned.
Happy himself, in generously using his rare gifts for making other
people happy!

Thus endeth the story of Solaris Farm. May its purposes haunt the minds
of its readers, like the memories of some prophetic dream, which may not
be obliterated, which can not be forgotten.

A FEW POINTERS FROM THE PEN OF THE REVIEWER.

Solaris Farm is the title of a new book "with a purpose." In fact it is
a book with many purposes. While the author writes intelligently and
forcefully upon stirpiculture, education, invention, hygiene,
sanitation, moral, physical and mental growth and culture, and injects
many new, beautiful and practical thoughts into each of these subjects,
