OF old, and his organization for the
rebuilding of Jerusalem.

Forsyth related striking instances of
what organization at vital moments

that the growth of this city de-
pends on our loyalty to the Chamber

with a miserably meagre fund of fl
nances, brought DR.. Forsyth's irres-
istible talk to its climax why this
man has always gotten more publicity
out of box of Winesaps than any
other state could get out OF carload
of apples"
Then DR.. Forsyth declared that
back of Mahony and the Chamber of
Commerce must stand organization
and back of all organization must be

DIR. Forsyth declared that he was
"going to take up "a collection. You
might have known they put me up
here for some mcanness."

the Chamber of Commerce? (Some
200 hands went up.) Now how many
want to belong? MANY other hands

this money matter. Lets get some
money in the treasury so MahOny
