One side of the card reads as follows: Rejoice in the Lord Always" ," Ever interested in your welfare, from the East Pearl Street NJ. E. church. New Haven Conn.--Day of Rejoicing. Feb. 2s, 190s' On the other side of the card is the following:
 "The Blood of Jesus Christ Cleanseth
 from all Sin
 When upon li;e's pillows you are tenn
 pest tossed
 When you are discouraged, thinking
 all is lost;
 
 them one by one,
 And it will surprise you what the
 Lord has done.
 Are you ever burdened with a load of
 caro
 Does the cross seem heavy you are
 called to bear?
 Count your many blessings, every
 doubt will fly
 And you will be singing as the days
 go by.
 Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out"
