Transcription
The members of the Fifth St. Baptist Church will please keep in mind that by act of the church three months ago the week beginning May 18th, continuing through the 25th, 1902 was set apart as Rally week. This is the final effort for the liquidation of the last of the long standing debt. We desire in that week to raise One Thousand Dollars.
On the first Sunday in June, it is the aim of the church along with the Tenth Anniversary of the pastor to have the mortgage burning. Let the members far and near keep this in mind.
Members out of the city may send money to help in this final rally to the pastor.
