Portland, Oregon
Dear Friends; .
Please accept the thanks of Mrs.
Clyde and myself for your kind invita
tion to attend your twelfth wedding
anniversary , and also the commemora
tion of the graduation of Mr. Hill, and
we are deeply sorry that we were un
able to attend, and I felt that the
least we could do was to acknowledge
receipt of your kind card.
A card on this sort in view of the
fact that you wanted your friends to
attend and had no ulterior motive, as
shown hy the two significant words
“ No Presents” proved that the invita
tion came from the heart, and again
we thank you.
When one who devotes his life to
the ministcry, which in many instances
is devoted to receiving hard knocks in
exchange for love and consideration
that you both bestow follows in line
with the notice on your card, "N o
Presents.” It is a deplorable fact that
the ministcry irrespective o f race,
creed, or color, is poorly paid, and
many instances, underpaid, and the
noble men who devote their live» to
this, as well as their loyal life-mates,
certainly receive "N o Presents.” They
are indeed fortunate if they receive
gratitude front the broken hearts they
minister and the souls that they in turn
pass to paths of peace, and righteous
ness.
W e in our humble way are atso
working to make the people happy and
prnpernus and tho we may be working
in diverse paths, our ultimate goal is
the same.
Again thanking you I remain,
Cordially yours,
Ralph C. Clyde, Pres.
