ation and of it's permeating influence in this district
 May each meeting of ths federation erect its milestone of achievement.
 And now allow me to rejoice with the Madison Improvement Club in the possession of it's new home, the mater- ial evidence of the steadfastness of purpose which has characterized the club from it's beginnings.
 As a community center, may its in fiuence ever be true and uplifting. To other communities represented in the federation may it be an inspiration and forceful example.
 I wish I could join the other mem bers of the Madison Improvement club in giving to the district federation the hand clasp of welcome to this new club home; personally I cannot; in spirit 1 shall be with you. Cordially yours.
