| In behalf of Little Falls / welcome
you all to this city.
She welcomes any person or body
of persons regardless of creed or
| denomination, who are laboring for
the general good of mankind.
She recognizes the fact that Chris
tain people are the people who move
the world, if we want our children
to love honor and obey us we must
have them educated and brought up
in a Christian atmosphere.
We also recognize that christianity
enlightens the world in both a moral
and social sense, that it is q pro-
moter of everything that is lofty
| and good and that city or county
without it is Hike ship at sea be-
fore a tempest without ruuder or
sail. ~: ..~:.. -. #>~#
! We cannot be termed a city Of
churches, but we have eight fairly
good church buildings occupied by
eight seperate religious societies,
each striving in it's own way to do
all in it's power to promote theinter-
ests ofChristianity. And l am very
thankful to be able to say, to- you
this evening that there exists between
these several denominations the best
of feeling as, there should, that they
help each other in many ways that
they aid each other in sickness and
distress land know that it will al
ways be so-as the seed sown by our
predecessors has been Of the best, and
this city and community are built on
the broad gauge plan. III &...-ss 5s
Once again welcome you and
give you the keys Of the city, trust
ing that when you go from; Little
Falls you will bear with you pleas
ant recollections of her and her peo-
pie. Hoping you. will come again,
yes come often. g. :. ~s..4
