his finger on the fatal weakness

more and more clearly revealed. Its

On Saturday, June 29th. I made r.
hurried call at Cove, to make arrange
ments for the use of the park and se
cure the co-operation of its loyal cit
izens in support of the Sunshine Club,
and its proposed meeting there on
Jnly 7th. Both were readily given.
Bro. Powell assuring me of his entire
support in the matter. The petition
was gladly subscribed to and I hurried
back to advertise the event. Lato
Friday afterrfoon I received a letter
that tho grove would not 'be available
for use, I am very sorry to do this
but the sense of obligation which I
owe in defense of "The Sunshine,
Club' ns well as those who so loyally
support the movement here in our
city impells me to offer this apology.
Had this article not appeared 1 should
have willingly borne this burden ns
becomesa "Sunshiner" and a Christian

see all mntters pleasantly settled nt
home. I wish also to say. I have un
bounded confidence In the people of
Cove in general ami wish to assun
you of our hearty appreciation of
your loyalty In defense or the Sun
