The' �a�ue of Economy
Many people fail to save, because they do not realize
the importance of small economies.

your income, no matter how small, every, week or month,
will soon become a fixed habit,
The result in a few years will probably surprise, and
certainly gratify you.

admirably and so Unselfishly rendered.
Please accept this ,watch as. a small
token of one.gratitude to you for your

fol your time and labor so freely given
to this department of our church
work, but itis just a tangible expres-.
Sion of our thanks for same. We
treat that you will return after the
holiday season Co rename your old
place at the organ. If however, you
should find that duty calls you else,
where, we pray that the Master's
blessing may follow you and that you
inay never grow weary in the good
work. Wishing yott a very merry
Christmas and the happiest of New
