We take this method of expressing our sincere appreciation and thanks to the many friend of Mr. Theodore Danielsen, who so kindly ministered to him and us during his recent illness and death. Especially do we thank the authorities of the Newberry cotton mills for their tribute of respect in closing down the mills during the passing ot the funeral party. We can only express our thanks, but God alone can repay, and our prayer is that the God whom he served will restore unto all these ten-fold for their many deeds of kindness in our time of offliction.
