OFFICIAL NOTICE TO ALL WILLIAM PENN MEMBERS

from our faith for “ the Lord is our salvation whom shall we fear, the Lord is our Life of whom shall we be afraid. “ Mary exalted the family and believed with all her heart the family was ordained by God, it existed even before the church and as are the families, so is Society. Husband and wife were one in honor, influence and affection. She was kind, meek and patient and submitted to the common bond of love and affection. Her beloved husband Elmer was entirely dependent on her. Her love for her son and grand-children was tender and delicate and had the special and precious qualities of Mother.

Her untiring efforts to her church and to all people with whom she came in contact with are well know. Her greatest pleasure was when she was able to lighten the burdens of life to anyone, anytime - "Lord, give her the rewards of Goodness

Yes, Husband, Grand-Children and relatives, we her fraternal brothers and sisters mourn her death too and our lips cannot adequately express the feeling that is in our hearts. The music has stopped, we cannot hear the violin and the cimbalom, we only feel the sorrow in our heart and the sting of death, but we are consoled as we remember the words of the Lord " Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted” and to know that by her faith and ours that somehow - somewhere meet again we must. We are confident that all who have died in Christ, will be raised to life on the Last Day. Lord remember Mary Charles who has come before You marked with the sign of faith, may Mary and all who sleep in Christ find in Your presence light and happiness and peace. May the perpetual light shine upon her, may her soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace. Please join with me in reciting the beautiful Lord’s Prayer. For the repose of our beloved sister Mary Charles.

BICENTENNIAL TRIP

continued from Page 1 their own city instead of from Pittsburgh. The reason for this is that the Association desired a non-stop flight to Budapest from Pittsburgh, which necessitates all participants coming to Pittsburgh at their own expense. However from each city arrangements will be made to fly groups of 10 or more from major cities to Pittsburgh and return. For example, round trip from Detroit to Pittsburgh is $49.73; round trip from Cleveland to Pittsburgh is $41.73; round trip from New York to Pittsburgh is $59.73; round trip from Chicago to Pittsburgh is $67.73; round trip from Dayton to Pittsburgh is $45.73; round trip from Columbus to Pittsburgh is $37.73. From other major cities we will furnish fares, provided there are at least 10 people from that particular city.
