Going into the last and final
week of our Rally for the Building
Fund, let us be sure that each has
done his or her share in this great
christian effort. A bigger, better
and greater st. Johns cannot be
erected unless we are all doing our
share. In this final week, let US
all give an extra push in order to
go over the top. Let us stick to the
task until it is completed, for the
last lap is always the most diff
cult. With a firm trust in God, a
determination to win, and the
keeping of the faith until the end
we will achieve a glorious victory.
And We shall all go marching up
stairs in st. Johns in 1916.
