Resolutions
Whereas, the past year has marked
many signal, moral and Christian vic
tories, among which, are closer SYM
pathy of the citizens of this commun-
ity, and of this u. S. Government, un-
ity of purpose, stricter economy and
higher comradeship of neighbors,
Tightening of family bonds, and
truer home-life of the people of our
country.
Therefore, be it resolved that we
express our gratitude to Almighty
God for His leadership, and that we
will continue to rely on His divine
guidance, and use each trial and each
moral victory as stepping stones to
further progress in developing true
community spirit. We believe that out
of this so-called-depression, we shall
emerge, uplifted socially, and refined
as q people.

of the righteous" Zone with the law
is a majority when law ceases to
be obeyed chaos comes, and the black
night Of despotism will come to our
land
Resolved that we use every practic-
during the sickness and death Of our
