We left sometrails in Norway and we have made more of them here. It was neitherNorway's fault or ours that we had to leave, but the needs of ourtime and God's Will. It appears to me that we must have a bigassignment with far-reaching importance for the future in thiswonderful and fertile land. Our God would not have arranged for us tobe torn from the Land we loved so dearly if we were not to accomplishsomething of real value. I believe we who are Norwegian should takehold and work in unity, to build our homes and a future for ourfamilies which is our first duty. That was what we missed so sorelyand what drove us away from what we loved.
