"God loveth a cheerful giver"

Editor with contributions from F. A. Piper, J. A. Moore, Anna Meehan, Mary Baker Eddy

Concord, N. H., May 10, 1905.

Beloved Leader:—Earnestly desiring to express our sincere gratitude for the many benefits showered upon us, and believing that we could do nothing that would be more pleasing to you than to heartily assist in the building of The Mother Church in Boston, a meeting of the members of the Concord Church was called, in November last, to formulate some plan for systematically contributing to that project. Previous to this time, individual members of the church had made generous contributions and the Sunday School was sending one half of its receipts to the Building Fund, but in order that all might take part in this labor of love, it was decided to procure envelopes, properly printed, and send them with an explanatory letter to each family, requesting that the offering be made the first Sunday in each month, beginning with December.

Notwithstanding the fact that we seemed to have all we could do, and more, to meet the increased expense necessary for the maintenance of our beautiful new church,—your splen did gift to us,—all contributed gladly, as was shown when the envelopes were opened and found to contain amounts ranging from one cent to one hundred dollars. Our own needs were supplied also, showing that "we must give if we would receive."
