From the conclusion-

"Missionaries and ministers whose labors call them away from their families the greater part of the time, will find Lamoni an excellent place to establish a home. Here they will have good church and school privileges, in a quiet location, away from saloon, gambling places, and evils of like nature. They will find the majority of the inhabitants to be sober, temperate, and religious people, trying to live according to their profession, and zealously defending what they believe to be right. While Lamoni is away from the cities and the many evils and temptations in them, it has railroad facilities by which all necessary business with other localities can be transacted."
