We wish to thank those who a; -
sisted us m this greae effort, and
do here commend them to the
grrat Equalizer and Righteous
Judge who will judge us all right
O'» the gre.it day. Should we de
duct this miniature amount from
our outstanding accounts, the bal
anci would be nearly $5,0 0.00.
We pray that He will teach us
that hono able method by which
our pe -pie can be aroused to full
san Re of their obligations to those
inst tutions that are essential to
their growth and prosperity and
that they will see to it such insti
tutions come into their own.
