“ Perine has been located at his present place of business, 809 Quincy Street. His associates in business are his two sons, and the firm has an excellent reputation in commercial and industrial circles of Topeka. Mr. Perine is a citizen who has not failed in discharging his responsibilities, and who still takes an active interest in civic matters. Although he has reached an age where most men are willing to retire, he still has an energetic body and a clear mind which will not allow him to transfer wholly the duties of the business to younger shoulders and intellects. ”

“ Then the human race that have gone down in death will be raised again and with those still living will be given knowledge and ability to comply with all the conditions necessary to come back to perfection of being as Adam was before the fall and they will become lords of the earth as he was and have eternal life in the earthly phase of God's Kingdom where His will will be done the same as it is done in Heaven. ”

“ Those refusing to comply with these conditions will die the second death, which means they will become as though they never had been.
Anson Green Bodwell, father of Mrs. Perine, was born at Simsbury, Connecticut, June 3, 1801, a son of James and Susannah (Humphrey) Bodwell, and a grandson of Benjamin and Mary (Woodbridge) Bodwell.
