To Speak Here Friday, August 27

when possible and necessary with
out expense to the local committees
10 this end the Foundation will
have under its direction men and wo-
men of the highest capacity, who
with Governor Hanly and Mr.. Stew
art, will hold themselves ready to
march at the word of command.
The list includes such speakers as
DIR. Ira Landrith, of Nashville, Tenn;
DR.. d. A. Polling, Presidents Asso-
ciate and National Citizenship Super
intendcnt of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor; Mrs. Ella Seass
Stewart, of Chicago; and DR.. Carolyn
Geisel, of the General Federation of
WofNen's Clubs.
In this great cause we stand or
fall together. A fight in a remote
part of the country is of interest and
concern to all.
II the Foundation is to do its work
in the great way Tanned a Cur -ens
Expense Fund must be created anu
made available for any battle that
my be fought, or for any emergensy
that may arise.
Governr Hanly is abandoning his
law practice-changing the plans
of lifetime-that he may give him
self. body, mind and soul, to the work
of the Foundation.
If the funds are placed in his hands
he Will be able through the Founda-
tion to realize the dream and con-
summate the purpose of his life If
the altar sought to be reared is grea,
enough to put his life and the lives
of his associates upon, is it not great
enough for a part of yours?
Every dollar contributed to the
Current Expense Fund of the Founda-
ton will be wisely used and economi-
cally expended, and every gift made
to It's It's Endowment Fund will be faith
fully invested and sacreted conserved.
Let, us build upon this Foundation
in faith, not fear-build for a new
freedom that shall become the herit-
age Of our children.
