The Germans and the Fund

By G. F. Haffner

“I was glad indeed when I found our German brethren so willing to take hold of this fund and help to raise this amount. There has been some feeling against building institutions; and as most of this money was for institutional work, I was somewhat afraid that our German brethren would not do their part; but as far as I have learned, they are willing to do their share. Some have already paid much more than their share; others have paid their share; and still others have asked for a little time until they could reap another crop. Now if we would all lift together during the next two months, the whole amount could be raised easily. Will not those who are able to do so, do a little more, although they may have paid a good share already? There is plenty of money among our people; and if we all join in this movement, it will be an easy matter to raise the remainder of this fund in the near future. Why not finish up on the twenty-ninth of June? May this be the case is my prayer.
