we should acknowledge the kindness
Of Divine Providence In arranging
aeons and aeons ago to lave Skunk
creek run along the edge of our lovely
and beautiful little city. 80 that It Is
unnecessary for us to drive our COWS
far to water. 1t was divinely ordained
long before the corner stone of the
hrst Babylonian post office or Masonic
temple had been laid that town was
some day to spring up on the banks
OF Skunk creek. We have kept the
faith. Our heritage is unspotted. We
have nobly set our heels upon the neck
of tyranny, and the only red light In
our midst Is the one at the railroad
switch.
Let us then give thanks and pray
for help to walk bravely and uprightly
where the boards happen to be loose
In our sidewalks so that our shins may
be unskun as we blithely tread the
path of life through and across the
twelve months to come.
Feeling that have done no more
than my duty in telling you these
things about yourselves and the lovely
place In which 1t is your lot to live,

mending that you will never forget
what civilized theology has done and
may yet do for you"
