Page 2 the term insurance is converted into cash and becomes payable on the maturity date of the certificate, if member is living. If the member should die within the extended period, then the face amount of the certificate is paid to the beneficiaries. The Senior 20 Year Payment Endowment and Paid-up Life certificate is the kind of insurance that should attract any Senior member, for its two-in-one character appeals to the one who wants to benefit from his insurance while he is living and also assure his dependents that there will be no financial difficulties after his death. It is the type of insurance that many have been looking for, and here is their chance to take advantage—a savings account plus life insurance. SENIOR MEMBERS SHOULD HASTEN TO TAKE OUT THIS FORM OF INSURANCE. Thus, the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association has added new insurance for the benefit of its two classes of membership, the Senior Order and the Juvenile Order. Both classes are strongly advised not to delay taking out these new and excellent insurances. The Ferret Sez... Branch 429 — Dearborn, Mich. Verhovayak Lapja June 12, 1941 Our South Land By William B. Yuhase On June 10, 1941, our city will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of St. John’s Episcopal Church. This is our oldest church in the city, having been built in 1741, under the supervision of Richard Randolph of Curbs Neck (now a big dairy farm). The land was donated by William Byrd, and the church was opened for worship on June 10, 1741. Some historians have written that Randolph received equivalent to about $1,600 for the church. About 1750 the first pastor, Rev. William Stith, solicited aid of George II of Great Britain and received in response a surplice, pulpit, a Bible, a prayer book, some cushions and a cloth for the reading desk. However, St. John’s is known to most kids mainly for two reasons. Usually on Sunday mornings one of our local broadcasting stations starts the day with the chimes of St. John’s, and the other because it was within the walls of the church where Patrick Henry thundered his ringing challenge to the convention assembled on March 20, 1775 —“Give me liberty or give me death!” Colonel Edward Carrington broke the silence that followed by exclaiming, “Right here I wish to be buried.” The second Virginia convention met in St. John’s, because it was the largest hall in Richmond, and even at that the original was not one half the size of the enlarged present day structure. The delegates had gathered in the little church to discuss whether they should treat with King George, arbitrate or fight for their rights. George Mason was there preaching radicalism that must have won the heart of that parlor-anarchist, Thomas Jefferson, and caused John Marshall, conservative on questions of rights and property, to view him with alarm. George Washington walked about the graveyard with two fellow officers with whom he fought the French in the French Colonial wars. I Now, they were assembled, awaiting word to start fighting again, but this time against the forces of the English king. The little old church has a bronze tablet near the pew from which Patrick Henry arose and thundered his immortal speech. The church graveyard has many old tombstones. Buried also there is Elizabeth Arnold Poe, the tiny actress mother of Edgar Allan Poe, our great imaginative writer. Little Edgar Poe is said to have been seen sobbing over his mother’s grave many times. The church has a colored sexton, and it is a treat to hear the old fellow tell briefly of the history of the church, the people in its graveyards and of the historical folks who once walked through its ancient yards. At night the church, painted white, is illuminated against the sky with spotlights. Sunday morning services are held regularly, and it is inspiring to listen and hear the chimes of old St. John’s. The churchyard itself is staid and has borne well the marks of the past two centuries. Richmond, however, has grown westward with the years, and soon the little church will be on the edge of the city instead of in the heart of things as it once used to be. However, we here take it for granted that it is a perpetual landmark, and woe betide any man or woman VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: The regular monthly meeting of Branch 429 of Dearborn will be held Wednesday evening, June 18 at 7:30 p. m., at 2441 Holly Street.

Just as soon as the secretary has more definite news, it will be published in this column. Watch for it so that you will all know where to take the prospective pupils. * * * I never enjoyed an issue of the Journal with more enthusiasm than the last issue in which “Dirk” Fulop wrote an open letter to Director Brogley about the Bowling Congress. One can almost picture the type of chap that “Dirk” represents —he gives me the impression of being a lot of fun. How about trying to bring “Dirk” up with you when you come from McKeesport, Branch 395? A budding G. Bernard Shaw such as he seems to be would be very welcome by the members of Branch 429, as we have several humorists who would enjoy keeping him company. * * * I see where Cousin Adeline’s cousin from Branch 395 mentions in her letter that you people plan on coming up possibly the last week-end in June. How about Mr. Jozik giving me more information on what time you will arrive, how many of you will come etc., etc.? We must know all these things so that we can plan ahead. ♦ * * Not much else to write for this issue, and besides I’m not in a “mood” for punning fun.

We are much afraid of fire, for a replica would not be like the original building, despite physical exactness.
