In behalf of the employees of the
National Baptist Publishing Board, |
am taking this opportunity of ex-
tending to DR.. R. III. Boyd our appre-
citation. heartfelt thanks and gratitude
for the generous and hospitable way
in which he entertains us every New
Years Day. The coming together OF
both the employer and the employee
in a social way means more than a
notion to al concerned. Glad hearts,
bright faces meet upon one common
level, and the enjoyment gotten there
from is Undesirable; the thought OF
the occasion is deep and the feeling
is beyond realization. We shall never
be able, DIR. Boyd, to express to you
the exact depth of our appreciation.
For we know that nothing ether than
a heart that is boundless and a SYM
patty that is unfathomed could have
fostered the idea of so unique a So
cial, and you shall ever live IN our
memories.
From your remarks on the V OF
the last occasion We gather the
thought that you desire u sympathy
and our cooperation. We promise II
to the fullest extent. Whatever bat
tie in life it shall be yours to fight,
we shall do all that is in our
power to help you win the vic
tory. We know that no man can
successfully accomplish any pur'
pose without the aid and assistance OF
those by his side. The work Of the
institution which you represent shall
be no Balaclava of blunder on our
part. Through interest and prayer
we shall do all that is ours to do
"gingered up" as Cough says, with
a Wellington-Waterloo determination
that knows no defeat" We shall fight
with you till the last foe falls or we
shall fall facing the last foe.
Again we wish to thank you. Fol
all that you have done, for all thai
YOU may do. We earnestly believe
that in the establishment of this in
stitution you have lied us by the still
waters and fed us in the green pas
lures" BY it you have conquered
the Gauls of envy, prejudice and ra
cial differences. Then "let the Alps
sink, for they are no longer NEEDED
Let the clouds lower. For we real
ize. every one of us, That the cares o
life, crosses and disappointments
pierce us with their thorns in ordel
that we may be better within, ant
that we may appreciate that part O.
our journey that is pleasant an(
happy. Professional position with
out opposition; to strive for the ne
cessities of life without anxiety are al
impossibilities. The melody Of human
nature must he brought forth by thu
discipline of trials. We are told tina
the glowworm glistens best in thu
dark; that the juniper smells sweet
est in the fire. Such then must b.
the condition of man. His tempta
tions make him the more triumphant
The greater his conflict the create
his conquests. We realize that wit
YOU this is a time of war. God ha
selected you for this hazardous al
fair, to lead this vast army OF people
He looked over the men of earth 10
one who would not finch at DANCE
but go bravely through whateve
would be allotted to him. This MAJ
he found in you. With you we haV
climbed the mountain or faith, an
from it's summit we are looking dow
into the plain of hope; and throug-
the mist we see the light gleamint
"amid tn encircling gloom" and W
are praying to God to give you Ion
life, health and strength to lead u
on to even higher and better things
