declare that in spite Of the insistent and
ever-inCreasing calls upon the time and

spontaneous. They had feared that these
Institutions, which stand in more urgent
need even than in peace times, might have
been overlooked or neglected by the char.
itably inclined, but the direct opposite has
been true and the response has been more
generous than ever in the past.

ranging the classes to see that the after

fortune for two Goddard seminary stu

they were returning to their home on

track near the Washington street inter.
section, the light sleigh experienced the
same misfortune that several others
have experienced during the past two

ers quickly came to the rescue of the I'm
fortunate students and after a few min
utes of labor the outfit and its occupants
started once more on their way, nei
