''Mr Richards must be gratified at his success and has extended his favours and that of his worthy band of workers in this school.
''We shall proceed with the work of many scholars not connected with any school who wish to be enrolled as scholars, also any workers who will help us.
''We have again tendered our best thanks to all who have assisted us in the past and with confidence, rely upon them for their continued support in this great work of saving the young. In conclusion: We pray for God’s richest blessing to give to this school, and have prayed for the gift to the teachers and officers to enable them to carry on their work successfully.
