NOTICE

The N.T.L.L.S.S.A. ASSOclaClOn
of the U.S.A., Inc, has just clos
ed its 10th annual convention,
which was another success and
outstanding for the advancement
of the organization Of its kind.
We thought that we would let
the public have our presidents
message. It is as follows:
To the officers and members
of the board of directors of the
NTLLSSA, Inc, to the officers and
members of the different depart
ments of this great association: I
want to congratulate you on 10th
annual convention. For the last
ten years we have been working
together with our program for the
association, and I know the
struggle that we have passed
through in trying to keep up with
this association and the program
of spiritualism. Because the
people don't want it as religion
in that name, spiritualism; but if
you change the name and call it
something else, they would be
able to understand. But when you
use the name, spiritualism, that
is the last straw that broke the
camel's back. But whether the
people like it or not, let us keep
with our good works. The people
did not like to hear the different
ones talk about Jesus, as the
Christ, the Saviour of the world.
They saw Moses; that's all, and
only him. And because of miSun-
derstanding many other leaders
were destroyed because they did
not want any other but Moses.
But that did not stop John the
Baptist. And he was led by the
spirit to baptize, and not only
that, the spirit showed him Jesus.
And when he saw him he cried
out and said, Behold the Lamb
of God which taketh away the
sins of the world" And that is
the spiritual world. And the world
has had trouble ever since because
they would not get together, that
is to know whether Moses, John
or Jesus was the right one sent
from God. There was nothing for
them to do but to speak as the
spirit gave utterance. And they
worked hard so the people could
see their good works. And Jesus
went out he was the Greater Light
and his work outshined the others.
Today the whole world is saying
"Give me Jesus"
But did you ever think of the
fight that they went through?
Many lost their bodies for the
faith they had. Even Jesus gave
up his body for the love that He
had. Then let us fight together
for the future of this association
and it's good works.
This is our 10th annual conven-
ton, that is, for ten years we
have been working together. Now
the road has been rough and the
hills very high; but our faith has
brought many high hills down to
the level and many rough roads
smoothed, and our faith has
brought US safe thus far, and let
our faith carry us home. Thanks
again for your cooperation dur
ing these last ten years, because
without you all, would not be
half thus far. So, let us march
on to success and happiness. And
how can we find happiness with
out peace? May the peace of
Christ ever abide with us while
we are fighting for the right of
the spirit in the house of clay.

still working with us and are fl
nancial in their department as
