Episcopal Layman Gives Anti-Saloon
League $1,000.

a prominent member Of the Episcopal
Church has subscribed $1,000 toward
special campaign fund of $4,000 to
be used in educating and arousing
the people to demand the passage OF
the local option bill to give them the
right to vote on the liquor question.
This fund was started by four men
who offered $1,000 each on condition
$4,000 more was contributed or sub
scribed by July 1. This latest offer
leaves only $4,000 to be SO subscrib-
ed, SO that every contribution or sub
scription, of whatever size, received
before July l will secure for the
League an equal amount Of money
from those large subscriptions.
The League considers this subscrip-
ton from SO conservative a source, it
being the first time in the history of
temperance work throughout the
country that member OF the Episco-
pal Church ever made such sub
scription for temperance work as ag-
gressive as that OF the League, to be
a. complete answer to those critics
who have claimed that the League is
losing strength instead of gaining be
cause of its vigorous policy.

,ur Friends i'm Westminster:

The recent demonstration of in
terest and good feeling toward West
ern Maryland College on the part Of
the citizens of Westminster seems to
justify this method or expressing our
appreciation i'm reply. The gala ap-
pearance of the town, the large space
accorded. in our two newspapers, the
unusual outpouring of our citizens
to attend the various exercises OF the
Commencement, the generous hospi-
tality that made possible the very
large attendance OF friends from a
distance and the hearty expressions
of good wishes heard on every side,
all conspired to make the occasion
the most notable one in the history
of the College.
we feel deeply grateful for these
manifestations of interest and we
hereby tender to ali our friends our
most grateful thanks.
