Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from San Francisco Redi-Vivus! An Open Letter to All San Franciscans and All Californians Dear Sir and Madam: You doubtless remember that after Noah built the ark he did not immediately enter it with his family but waited patiently for the sign from the Lord which should tell him the proper time and moment had arrived when he should seek refuge there from the rising waters which were to engulf the world. In some curious way when reading that story in my childhood, I took on the idea that this was like a fairy tale and meant something symbolical or applicable to every family and every father Noah who built a house for his little tribe to occupy. And as time has gone on, more and more does the parable please my sense of the picturesque in the practical. Is it not a fact that every true home is an ark of refuge to the family? Does not the welfare of the State, nay of the nation, the race itself depend upon the well-being of the Home? Many tremendous things have happened in our beloved city of San Francisco during the last twelve-month. In spite of everything, her promise is greater than ever before. Who that beholds the wonderful sight of those splendid buildings arising with such rapidity as if an Aladdin were directing some Genie-of-the-lamp to do his bidding, can fail to be bewildered? Pigmy man takes on the proportions of a giant when we see such work going on as this before our very eyes. Such confidence as this is more than inspiring, it is positively infectious. Are these builders of great hostelries to do it all and are we who have to skill in iron, construction or concrete, who are not architects nor carpenters nor iron-workers, to sit by idly, giving no helping hand?
