large sum OF money you contrfbuead
for a new city hospital. and a vast
AMOUNT for a new Y. NJ. c. A. building.
and I understand you are soon TO start

nifcently to the evangelistc associa-
ton to carry on this great work. and
then you come with this handsome
gift to me. which i appreciate moro

Six hundred business girls have
signed up for the Business Girls Bible
class at the Y. w. G. A. and there
are others from the different stores
yet TO come in. Mrs. Reed and Mrs
Caldwell. OF the. Y. w. G. A. have
tried hard to make these meetings a
and their efforts are and
should be appreciated. These ladies'
are working hard for this association
and a LEI building. and / don't think
money could be spent in any better
way for in that way you are doing
things for generations yet unborn.
You build garages for your autos.
pens for your hogs, stables for your
horses and everything to take care
OF your live stock, and you should do
something for your girls.

try and I want to say that you have
the finest Y. NJ. G. A. building here
i have ever seen and when you get
ready to start that campaign for the
Y. W. G. A. let me know and I will
help you some.
IT want TO thank these ushers for
their excellent work. They know you
probably better than they want TO but
at that they have been patient and
kind and the crowds have been
handled nicely. I don't know any man
that has been more faithful In any
city ] have ever been than Chief
Usher Parker and he is entitled to
our consideration.
II tank the ministers OF your city
for their persistence. II they had not
kept after me continually 1 would not
have been here tonight, and I would
not have had the pleasure OF meeting
you fine people. I didn't want to
come here because II was a new ter
ritory for me. You did not know my
methods and did not know me. I
I'D not know any OF you except Ar
buthnot. Lynch and a few others. But
7 came and I thank God that I did
