The bank is not desigaied, but is sup
posed to be located in Lewisburg:
"a preacher in Pennsylvania a
few days ago made application to one
of the banks TO borrow Eve hundred
dollars TO finish paying for a meeting

letter to the cashier of the bank sta

the matter with suitable earnestnuss,

preacher referred to, in closing his let.

gospel bonds" When the board OF
directors met the letter was laid be
fore them. Some Of them probably

And washed my lines away.

OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these heoting moments caught,
