as we Will, il is a fact that strangers COM
/ ing into town will measure the enterprise
and public spirit of the town by the app
pearance of its public buildings and their
surroundings. If the church and church
! buildings are in dilapidated condition
and the church grounds uncared for, Il
makes for the village a poor reputation,
! but if the church and church buildings are
in good repair and the church grounds
well kept, the people from surrounding
villages and visitors from afar go abroad
| to publish the enterprise and public spirit
of the citizens of the village. Mr.. Jones,
memorial of your generosity and public
spirit has been built that endears you 10
the people who worship i'm this place, and
coming generations of our people will
remember kindly the name of &. H. Jones'
Your townsmen will regard with favor the
man who, unsolicited, gave OF his sub
stance to assist the church and improve
the appearance of the village. Further1
would say that your work commends you
to the Master whose we are and whom we
serve. The plea of the disciples for the
centurion was "He loveth our nation and
he hath built US a synagogue" Love for
| Gods people and work for His church
always brings blessing upon the worker.
Mr.. Jones, you and your sister have rem
dered us great assistance. Words are tame
when we attempt to give expression TO
gratitude, but honored sir, we wish you TO
know that we do appreciate your gift and
the spirit in which it is given, and that we
do most cordially reciprocate i'm spirit.
And in behalf of the church and its adj
herents most heartily thank you. And /
know that the citizens of Barton Landing
will pardon me il for a little while usurp
office and act as their representative and In
behalf of every public spirited person say,
Mr.. Jones, thank you" Mr.. Starts lect-
ture on the prospects OF the twentieth
century was inspiring and well received.
He pointed out the possible achievements
of the church in twenty-five years, and
showed that the salvation of the world TO
Jesus Christ inside of decade was prac-
ticable. His peroration was a masterpiece,
filling and thrilling the audience. The
lecturer was "Starr" of no mean magni-
tude and we hope that again we may have
the privilege of beholding him sparkle.

tion was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Starr
