W H A T W E N E E D We don't need more material development; We need more spiritual developeme'nt. We do not need more intellectual power; We need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge; We need more character. We do not need more government; We need more culture. We do not need more law; We need more religion. We do not need more of the things that are seen; We need more of the things that are unseen. —CALVIN COOLIDGE. y B A R i y M a r t H e i s s u e JUNE, 1943 EST T H E N O R T H W E S T F R I E N D June, 1943 June, 1943 T H E N O R T H W E S T F R I E N D i=(3Lu'tclt es Star, Idaho, Friends Church Nears Forty Mark in Years oj Service THE Report Reveals Church Serves Large Place In Community Life NORTHWEST FRIEND STAR FRIENDS CHURCH PICTURED PASTOR AND FAMILY AT STAR CHURCH Published monthly except August at 2904 N.
