To the Citizens of Bonners Ferry
Wc desire to say, that with hut
one or two exceptions so far, all
who have been solicited personally
to assist in the erection of a house
of worship for the Methodist people,
have responded with such willing
ness and liberality that wc have
felt encouraged to begin building,
and desire to push it to completion
at the earliest possible date,
in order to do this we will require
considerable more cash and help
in work, and believing that no
public spirited and broad minded
resident of the place would bo wil
ling to allow an enterprise in which
the whole public is to be benefitted,
But
to be accomplished without having
helped in it, and in as much as
we arc unacquainted with most of
you, request that any who liuvej
not subscribed heretofore, express;
a willingness to do so to some
engaged in this enterprise, so that
an opportunity may be given them \
to do so, and any and all persons!
who will contribute work, can do)
OIK*
so by reporting to tho superintend- !
ing carpenter with saw and ham
mer, who will give them due credit
for the amount of work done.
wc hope to sec this house complet
ed, which we are satisfied will give
With many thanks to all who
have so far expressed their interest
and good will in this enterprise,
and trusting to their future help
and sympathy with that of many
others who have not yet done so.
