i To all who helped to make the

the M. K. Church we are thankful.
Had it not been for some wiio so will

also grateful to those who assisted in
making the pop-corn balls and tilling
the candy boxes, and to those who
gave candy and money. Our apprecia
tion cannot be expressed in the words
of this short writing. We feel that
i the Gateway did us splendid service in
several ways, and to them we extend
lour thanks. C. T. COOK.
