"To the Christian Endeavorers of
New Jersey:
"To all the dear friends who
helped in any way to raise the fund
for myself and family, / want to
make acknowledgment of my sincere
and heartfelt thanks. I cannot ex-
press in words my feelings, but l
know that nothing the Endeavorers
could have done would be more graf
flying to my dear husband than the
noble deed of caring for his family
the first and most helpless years of
their bereavement. He loved all the
Christian Endeavorers SO much, and
his work with them always seemed
such pleasure to him. I have re-
ceived the amount in full in yearly
payments from Mr.. Stultz as trus-
tee. May the Lord continue to bless
all the Endeavorers in whatever
work they undertake for Him, is the
prayer of your grateful friend,
"Mrs. j. J. Pierson.
