with the committee Of finance will

Charge to Eddie Flahive
Next came the charge to Eddie
Flahive, the newly appointed city
marshal. This charge was delivered by
the mayor and after the reading of the
same the remarks were roundly APP
plauded. The mayor said as follows
in delivering his charge:

the, proudest days Of your life. Yor

briefly Of the other three. From my
point of view the first OF them all is
the, christian religion given to. US by
the Divine Ruler through His beloved

born in the manger at Bethlehem, the
one who walked by the sea Of Galilee.
the one who prayed in the garden al
Gethsemane that the bitter cup Of

one who died upon the cross upon Mt

rose from the grave that you and III
Eddie, and all mankind are given the
opportunity to repent all our sins and
to be saved, and that religion which is
construed differently by 2700 sects in
the world, and through Him, who gave
you that religion, may you have faith.
