And every one who w'lr read .them will know hrtw the ministers and citizens here feel about the above transactional ?, Resolutions. Whereas, the Charleston "Mutual Savings Bank went into liquidation, Dec. 31, ,1937, and Whereas, this institution has served the' people of our group ef ' ficipntly nnil honestly for 16-years and _ " ' Whereas, the Directors, the President and the employees of the Bank demonstrated in a very -fine manner, by toeir business acu" men and courageous leadership,! the ability of our people to enter upon such an indispensable, yet difficult enterprise, and Whereas, the Charleston Mutual Savings Bank~Tias beoif" a" scduTce of in-piration to the youth as well as to the?adult?members of our group; and diwreioas this bank which has always received the whole hearted support of the InterdononVnational Colored Ministers Union of Charleston and vicinity, stood the ?: acid test of the depression; and Whereas the Directors of the Bank thought it best under existing circumstances to close its noors oy paying all depositors ?-n Cull; ' Therefore, be it resolved that we employ this puthod of express ir.jf to" the Directors,: President .and employees qC the Bank ..our highest appreciation for the very valuable service which they have rendered to our people.
