It becomes our privilege to state what you already know no doubt, that we are feeling "His banner of Love o'erspread"Song 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. . It broods over our little weekly meetings and we hear its voice and feel its tender touch as that of the FatherEditorial Note: God speaking to us through you, "Little children Love one another, even as I have Loved you,"John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Nor is it here alone where Love is manifesting itself. We feel its quiet breathing in the atmosphere of our public service and Sunday School in a good attendance and attentive listeners.

We await with longings to hear again the voice of our own dear Pastor and hope so to improve through usage our talents and the faithful teachings imparted, that we "do His commandments"Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. and lift the heavy burdens you have carried for us so patiently and long in such a manner as will open, the way for this loving service and fulfill your heart's desire. God grant is shall come quickly.

We would in nowise fail herein, to express our appreciation of the wise and able provision you have afforded in your absence th rough the ministrations of our dear brother E. A. Bailey. Christian ScientistAs Written:C. S. and his companion. His thought expressed has been thus far, tender, loving, kind, and savors of the Truth as "Divine Science", for which we tender our grateful thanks.

We still retain the noticeable As Written: noticable feature of change in the people as the week goes round and while we would not ignore this position since it must being many under the "touch divine," we are realizing to an extent our responsibility to meet the hour's demand in this direction and by watchfulness and vigorous effort to hold them with us hearing the ProphetsEditorial Note: Isaiah call to enlarge our borders, "spare not, lengthen thy cords, strengthen thy stakes."Isa 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

And now we trust dear Pastor and Teacher, that you will long enjoy this Gift together with us, and ever feel the warmth and glow of affection in the heart of every donor, in whose behalf we ask you, to accept this grateful tribute.
