I am delighted to learn that the full amount was raised to settle the debt of Plymouth Church rather than to have seen it miss. I feel that I could have given an additonal $100. Although by so doing it would have made it just that much harder to pay our debts. Now that the immediate necessities have been met, the church had ought to flourish. We had ought to see to painting and fixing up a little so as to make things a little more comfortable about the church.
Of course nearly everybody has done so much that for the present nothing can be done along the lines I suggest, but after awhile it might be well to let them know what I suggest. I have been quite saving down here — some months not using more than $10 for personal expenses. Think that with all the presents I have bought I will get through the year with less than $250.
You must not stint yourself
