During the colonial period, entering the North American continent of new immigrants who went through a period of great change in faith, people work hard and active life, but behind the rapid economic development has brought a series of puzzles.In addition to the impact on the environment and the destruction of the social atmosphere, people not in spirit pillar, culture, entertainment, education and so on are all behind the church monopoly. In this new form of society, people need some new spiritual strength, on the one hand continue to inspire them to work hard, on the other hand too many restrictions and unlock those shackles, people can develop more freely.
