My Beloved Students:—Your generous check of five thousand dollars, April 23, 1906, is duly received. You can imagine my gratitude and emotion at the touch of memory. Your beneficent gift is the largest sum of money that I have hitherto received from my Church, and quite unexpected at this juncture, but not the less appreciated.
My message for June 10 is ready for you. It is too short to be printed in book form, for I thought it better to be brief on this rare occasion. This Communion and dedication include enough of their own.
The enclosed notice I submit to you, and trust you will see, as I foresee, the need of it. Now is the time to throttle the lie that students worship me, or that I claim their homage. This historical dedication should date some special reform, and this notice is requisite to give the true animus of our Church and denomination.
Lovingly yours,
