Hay. memorial in commemoration of the
INDUSTRIOUS services rendered Almas Temple
by this great and gifted noble.
Ned Hay, as you well know, loved
with true and sincere affection every
noble of Almas. He was the friend of all
mankind and brought pleasure and happi-
ness wherever he went. We all miss the
literal sunshine of his genial presence that
has SO often warmed and cheered us, and
his pleasantries and air of optimism that SO
frequently helped to tighten the duties and
burdens OF our every day life.
The subscriptions to the memorial in
question to the present time, have fallen
far short of the amount desired TO be
raised. Out of a membership il Almas
Temple OF 1,4Oo, not quite one-fourth have
so far responded to the appeal. 1t is neces-
sary that those having the matter in charge
should know definitely at an early date
the amount to be subscribed in oroer TO ar
range for the purchase and erection of the
memorial in early spring of 1907.
THE purpose Is to make the memorial
gift from AMnas Temple. and to have the
same dedicated in some proper form by
the nobility thereof. Therefore. IL you have
not yet made your contribu ton OF one dollar
to the monument fund, please do so at your
very earliest convenience, and forward the

velope, the receipt of which will be prompt
