The Spirit that Wins

PERSISTENCE and doggedness most often bring results; One of our depositors started a savings account four different times. Three times he was forced to withdraw his savings to pay for life necessities, but he is still with us and now has a wall of dollars between himself and possible sickness or want. His is the spirit that wins against all odds. Better fortify NOW against old age.
