have stood by us all these years and brought us thus well
along. Many, many persons say we have done remarkably well.
This being true, won't you help us out, while our ship sails
on towards its destination? We want to wipe out the mort-
gage this year. We want to pour out our souls and devote our
time to organizing, training and encouraging the children
and young people of our race. For thirteen years Phillis
Wheatley has been burdened with mortgage. This should be paid
in order that money and time could then be spent on charac-
ter building. We have faith in the people who have had con-
tact with the Phillis Wheatley Center; we have faith in the
wonderful people who are helping us with the drive; we have
faith in God. We are going to win. The drive closes December
12, 1937.

Phillis Wheatley has so much to be thankful for to have fri-
ends like those who have helped us in the past and those who
are on the campaign committee this year, also those who have
contributed--and will continue to contribute.
