As the membership of the House of David grew, various new enterprises were launched to utilize member talents and earn money.  One of these businesses was making musical instruments. Believing that they were to prepare themselves and 144,000 others for the immortality of the body the followers of Mary and Benjamin set about making a society and economy equal to the task.  As it was thought there would be little time to achieve these goals a sense of joyous urgency permeated the everyday life of the group.  Every day was one day closer to the Millennium and every national and world event convinced the colonists that they had very little time to prepare.
