...that other sects are already established in the West, doing the Good Work. They say that there are already enough missionaries out there in the wilderness. They speak of the good appearances and glad manifestations of Pomona, of Stanford, of Sewanee, Kenyon, and Black Mountain. But brethren, it is plain that these sects do not have the true light, for Providence has not done well by them and they have fallen by the wayside among tares.

Last week, as a result of bombing, sabotage and plain self-defense, the flow of some 1,700,000 bbls. out of total export production of 2,600,000 bbls. a day had been cut off or disrupted, at least temporarily, and the prospects were that the flow of a few hundred thousand more barrels might...
