he left for us to ponder over were
as follows: The cause shall not
suffer at my hand; we should for
give and forget as Jesus Christ
does and not as mortal man; sand
finally, the church Of Jesus Christ
must and will move on in it's Christ
ian work to the glory of the Fa-
Their.

tends to the members of st. Johns
their cordial thanks for a very
fine closing quarterly conference.
All reports were splendid and in
keeping with the Christian spirit
of the st. Johns church. 1t is high
ly significant to observe that our

all that may prevail against her
for the honor and glory of the

For all the officers, pastor and

challenging problems realize that
in strength there is unity and have
so banned together to build for
our children, our community, and
city, a church that shall stand as
solid as the Rock of Gibralter.
