Suggestions from One OF the Members OF
the Missouri Club
MEMBERS ALL-After carefully reading
the letter Of our most worthy president in
the last issue of THE SENTINEL, the duty
to heed the demands or wishes portrayed
in it was most wildly presented.
Have we all read the article in ques-
ton? If not, this being the Sabbath.
most OF us can enjoy few leisure mo-
ments. May they be spent doing good.
Surely if they are spent reading our presi-
dents letter, with a determination to do
our best, much good must OF necessity &C
crue. Brothers end sisters. you see the
situation in which our president finds
himself He wishes to place a snug little
sum in our treasury and it is not in his
power to crafty his most ardent wish
without the aid of the members Friends.
let all who possibly can send their
badge money Immediately to
President Strawn that he may be
enabled to order the 100 badges
and thereby procure the reduction.
Surely, considering the metal with which
the badges are TO be made, and by COM
pairing 1t with badges of other organiza-
tons, we can find no fault with the quail
ity and price. Friends, please respond.
Your officers have been laboring hard
in behalf of the badges Will you
not repay them by ordering one OF these
beautiful badges? All their labor has
been in the interest OF the club. If they
can serve it in some way they are richly
remunerated- No individual can possibly
be protited one penny. 1t is all for the
Howard Literary; therefore, remember
1 think the idea OF sending an applica-
ton blank with each copy of the con-
sttution is good one. Let all who re-
ceiVe them remember they are precious.
Eech one sent out by the secretary should
count one member. Are they not profita-
BILE? Therefore, also remember this. The
time is here when We should begin prepa-
rations.
for the reunion. 1 think we should have
one, although / cannot attend. 1t will
be very busy time for us ruralists while
the reunion is being held. No enjoyment
could be greater than to enjoy meeting
with those held so dear Let all attend
who can. The time and place is imma-
terial to me. l think that should be
when and where the greater number can
attend. Brothers and sisters, send your
preference to our executive committee
chairman at once. How pleasant it is to
mingle and commingle with congenial
minds. Associations of such type are as
bread cast upon the waters" destined to
bring lasting good. have often heard
the question asked, not only of the II. l..
O., What good will it do me to connect
myself with this or that organization ?
Friends. this question is indeed a
misfit Kind friends. the i'm
maculate predestinations did not
place us here simply as the recipient OF
the gifts of God and our fellowman. but
rather to accomplish the most possible
good Here. then. instead of asking what
good we will receive from joining the II.
l.. c., let US ask what good can we do by
joining the Howard literary. And after so
doing study carefully it's principles and
then you will readily see the scope if you
only will embark.
To better the condition of society and
thereby better the state of humanity, we
must educate ourselves up to the standard
God would have us occupy. May we con-
tinue to do what we can in this direction.
May we work as we never have worked
before and adhere strictly to duty's call
With this, my feeble mite" / am most
deeply yours in the bonds of the Howard
literary. COMET"
