AIR. SHOLAR THANKS HIS
’^Mr. FRIENDS.—
$km C. Sholar, who left last
week to serve a sentence of a year
and a day at the federal penitentiary,
on a charge of violating the national
prohibition act, has addressed the fol
Jowing communication to The Messen
ger:
Editor, The Messenger:
* May I have the privilege of
ing through yoiir columns my many
friends for the kindnesses they have
shown me and my family? May God
forever pour out His richest
upon all who have been so
may J He bless my enemies, too.
my enemies continue to pour hell
my head, if they wish, for I have
head to understand; I have the
bone to hold up under it and the
to carry it on.
I know God and know His
May He give me the power to fan
enemies and may He give me
power to dip my fingers in cool
ter, that I might cool the liars and
who want to persecute me. This is
prayer.
S. C. SHOLAR.

PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
—NOW!
The Messenger will begin at once the annual revision of its
mailing list. This means that all subscribers who are in arrears with
their subscription will have their names dropped, as it is obviously
out of the question for the publishers to print and mail papers to sub
scribers who are making no effort to keep their subscription account
in good standing.
Printers’ wages, paper supply bills and other expenses must be
paid regularly every month, and cannot be postponed. It requires
little thought to determine that it will be impossible for us to con
tinue operations without collection of the accounts due us. The Mes
senger fully appreciates the stringency of the times, but subscription
accounts are so small that there are few people who cannot pay them,
if they want to bad enough.
The Messenger is going to be worth more to its readers during
1932 than ever before. Messages from business men pointing the
way to savings and good business will mean more than ever. More
over this year is a big political year—and everyone needs to keep
posted on all political developments, in order that they can vote in
telligently. It will be virtually impossible to keep posted on politics
accurately without The Messenger.
Look at the date on your paper NOW—and do not put off
paying your subscription, because you cannot afford to miss a single
copy!
