From North, South, East and West Come Greetings From the four corners of the nation come expression;? of (he friendship of Protestants for The Fiery Cross. U. W., whose home is in McLean, N. Y., sends in his subscription for the paper, with this clasing sentence: "Have read several copies and think it the greatest paper ever." In Valley Creek, Tenn a subscriber is so much pleased with his paper that he says: "Will sav that I do not want ray subscription to be discontinued, as I think more of it than any paper I ever had in my home. J. L. W." From Paincsville, O., H. W. writes: "I would rather go hungry than miw a single copy of your paper. I feel that it is an inspiration and should be read by all openminded Protestant Americans." An Indiana reader, B. F., of Westficld, declares in a recent letter that "I am sending $2 for the best paper published in the state of Indiana." The Fiery Cross has tried to .serve Us Protestant readers in the best manner possible. It has sought to protect the interests not of Klansmen alone, but of all Protestant American citizens. And It has evidently been successful to a great degree, judging from the many letters expressing felicitous regard for the paper and praising its truthful, fearless policy of presenting the news of the world in a fair light. Indiana Protestants are awake to the fact that in The Fiery Cross they ha-re a strong voice for their cause art ita strength la reflected In letters received from every pari of the country.
