Dear Editor Monitor:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to extend thanks;
to my good friends who so kindly
helped nominate Bro. Dennis in
■ February.
' I have waited, hoping to acquire
language sufficient to express my
gratitude to them but at this hue
hour I am still at a loss.
When 1 was quite a boy I was j
favored with an office tor which I 1
have always felt very thnnkful.
All through life these same
good friends have helped me; and
while memory holds sway there
will always lie a worm spot within I
my heart, for them.
I trust that not one of them
will ever have cause to regret what
they have done for us.
Wishing each of them a long,
happy and .prosperous life and
hoping that 1 mgy live long
enough to show them my deep ap
preciation.
lam very truly,
M. L. Currie.
