The elders placed four
gifts into the hoop: the gift of healing, the gift of hope, the gift of unity
and the power to forgive the unforgivable.

We
commenced to make many fast friends and a fellowship has grown up among us of
which it is a wonderful thing to feel a part. The joy of living we really have,
even under pressure and difficulty. I have seen hundreds of families set their
feet in the path that really goes somewhere; have seen the most impossible
domestic situations righted; feuds and bitterness of all sorts wiped out. I
have seen men come out of asylums and resume a vital place in the lives of
their families and communities. Business and professional men have regained
their standing. There is scarcely any form of trouble and misery which has not
been overcome among us. In one western city and its environs there are one
thousand of us and our families. We meet frequently so that newcomers may find
the fellowship they seek.
