temple opera house boosters and no special organized effort has been made to secure additional stock sub- scriptions it must not be concluded that there is no further need of buying stock in this great enterprise Indeed quite the reverse is the case Several thousand dollars more must be raised by the sale of stock a fact made imper ative by the requirement and desire of Some of those who have subscribed for stock that the structure shall be com pleted and financed without debt Let the people be thoroughly awake to the fact that we are not entirely out of the woods in the matter of first im portance the sale of sufficient stock to completely finance the opera house temple project And the enterprise should not be allowed to drag for lack of interest and public spiritedness And this recalls the fact that several leading and financially interested citi zens of means have so far not joined the boosters and made liberal purchases of stock according to their financial ability These subscriptions are greatly needed as well as the purchases of smaller blocks by citizens of more modest means The benefit of the proposed building will be to all whether they have property interests or not so all who are able should feel it their privi lege and duty to help on this big and promising project with their money and influence but money talks The building committee is engaged with architects on various plans and we hope soon to be able to announce the settlement of this important question the closing of a contract with a reliable builder and the early commencement of this big enterprise But in the mean time brethren get in the procession with your subscrip tions to stock Boost Absolute Security When you have a prescription or re cipe to be compounded with certainty that it

tho splendid effort Mr Newens is not only an att ist but he had an appealing subject and he handled the touching story with a spiritual insight and tasteful clever ness which marked him as a sympa thetic soul and a princely fellow The reading was a sermon of special ap propriateness for this city a temper ance address with a dash of theology altogether human and vital The only regret is that
