The Appeal., 1911-05-06

BY singular coincidence the let
ters above, reached FHEAPPEAL of
fee this week. It is very crafty
ing, indeed, to receive such kind
words and to be made to feel that
we have not lived and labored in
vain these many years, and that these
people were SO well pleased with the,
Quarto- Centennial of THE APPEAL, as
stated by these correspondents. We
would be pleased to hear from any
others who desire to express them
selves in regard to the proposed
celebration Of our twenty y-ffth an
niversary before fully deciding what
action to take in the matter. So let
us hear from the patrons of THE AP-
PEAL.
Respectfully,
j. @. Adams.
