the Bystander finds cordial welcome.
The pulpit Of the state could i'll afford
to lose the influence and prestige this
paper that has been so faithful to its
trust. / favor a great testimonial SUBJ

voicing our appreciation 70 rthe worth
OF the Bystander to this state.
| suggest that the colored ministers
Of Iowa all denominations, choose Des
Moines for the place Of testimonial ana
make it the greatest state function FOR
racial uplift and substantial encourage
ment Iowa has ever known. This can
be done by the cooperation Of the Me-
gro ministers Of the state and other
professional men, which win serve with
the same purpose. A better feeling and
technical understanding can be brought
about between the ministers regardless
of denomination. Let US fix date for
