Of i mrs it is thoroly understood thai i1 will requir vi I istently pushed campaign, and a h irty, sacrificing res\ ise to - :ur pled s adding up the sura named for the memorial nedIt is a large undertaking, a very large financial proposition, which cannot •ntemplated without some trepidation, and cannol be made a su without the willing assistance—helping to the hurting point—of practically every one to whom application is naturally made. But with a combined, united, fervent, heart-compelled, Love-inspin I, rt, aagnifi nt results are sure to follow, and the sacrifice to the individual will be lost in the lory of the greal general accomplishment. And tin. ie1 it be said, that the financial and material measure will be far outdone by the fraternal and filial benefits which the former merely rves to se1 forth, in the only language capable of adequate and universal interpretation. In the contributions one may ha\ onh mall share; in the full, grand benefit and blessing each may claim the whole. Each contributor in money may say of the whole. "This in

initiatory uplift can be reported, enthusiasm sufficient to complete the job will not be wanting!
