If the chain is never. stonger than its weakest link, then our smaller hamlets must bestir themselves, for we cannot make a great and prosperous state out of abandoned farms or stagnant towns, from which our young people depart in order to secure elsewhere greater opportunities for advancement." One means of adding to the Dorcas treasury was, for many years, the Readings from her own books given by Wiggin in the Tory Hill meeting-house.
