apt attention at the eloquent words;
coming from the lips of this most pow
erful Divine.
Tho evening service for men, was :,
success, so much so that tire desire
was made manifest that these meetings
should be more frequent, so that they
may be brought oftener together.
Next Saturday night Is the regular
watch meeting. 1t convenes at ID
o'clock, lasting through out md,
tight. The pastor urges every
member to be present to join in Civ
ing thanks to the Most High for the
many blessings bestowed on us thru
out the past year and to ask Of Him
His guidance and protection thru out
next year and pledge to Him our 10y
atty, service and sincere devotion :.
When Zion looks back over her journey
OF 1921 she really fools that such q
pledge is deserved OF one so mercitul.
Her journey was quite toilsome being
without Shepherd from November OF
the preceding year until August of
tho year following. Yet she held on
valiantly, untiringly until God saw
fit to send her such man as she now
has; and she has put on her helmet
and shield, girdled her sword ready to
face the battle of 90 in her march to
the Kings highway.

Arizona republican., 1921-07-01

The reopening of the Central
Bank this morning is a most re-
markable accomplishment and is
the result of three months hard
work on the part of the officers
and directors. captained by Mr..
Fairfield, assisted by Mr.. Brad
ford and backed by the hopes and
prayers of 1000 depositors. ! my
self, am truely grateful and l be-
iieve l express the sentiment and
feelings of all the depositors and
citizens of Phoenix when l say
that the reorGanized Bank of
Phoenix, with additional capital
and some new officers, will be
among the strongest banking in
situations in the state
Il is indeed fortunate that such
a man as Ed C. Bradford is to be
connected with the Bank of Phoe-
nix in the capacity of cashier. Mr.
Bradford handled the affairs of
the bank during the three months
suspension of business, has years
of banking experience behind him
and in my opinion the cashiers
berth could not have been filled
more wisely.
l. } MI FdlrIlelQ belongs ire
'mendous amount of credit for the
reopening of the bank He is de-
serving of the highest praise and
his energetic, efficient work will
be long remembered. The affairs
of the bank were not in bad shape,
they had been honestly administ-
cred and a reopening was always
probability. Today that prob
ability has materialized. the of
ficers are back on the JOB. teliers
are at their windows, machines are
clicking and the wheels of business
are again moving in the bank
across the street from Hyders store
On Central avenue.
I am overjoyed and if I were in
a position to do SO l would de-
clare Friday legal holiday and
direct the citizens of Phoenix to
bank all the money obtainable in
the new Bank of Phoenix, just to
show them how we feel about it

most of which called for modest resi-
ednce buildings.
The new market. building on Mon
roe street between Central and First

with an estimated cost of $4,000.
This is being built by T. B. Stewart.
