ET: To the Federation of ARPC in the Netherlands my warm gratitude for the felicitation and blessing. The older I get, the more heartily I am pleased about the increasing enthusiasm of the Dutch youth for the cause of our Lord. The storm that broke loose has shown what promise for the future lies hidden in your clubs. Keep growing, expand your influence in an ever-increasing circle, and may in particular your meeting at Pentecost prove to be a symbol that you sought your strength in the Pentecostal blessing.

Aan den Bond van A.R.P.C. in Nederland mijn warmen dank voor gelukwensch en heilbede. Hoe ouder ik word, hoe hartelijker ik mij verheug over de klimmende geestdrift van het jonge Nederland voor de zaak onzes Heeren. De storm, die losbrak, heeft getoond, wat belofte voor de toekomst in uw clubs geborgen ligt. Blijft groeien, breidt uw invloed in steeds breeder kring uit, en bovenal blijke uw saamvergadering op Pinksteren symbool, dat gij in den Pinksterzegen uw kracht zocht. Kuyper.

Expression of gratitude cabled to the first annual meeting of the Federation of Anti-Revolutionary Propaganda Clubs (ARPC) in the Netherlands (see 1902.06), which met in Utrecht on Pentecost Monday, June 1, 1903. In an earlier telegram the federation had wished Kuyper God’s strength and blessing “particularly after the storms of the last few months” (railroad strikes, counter-measures, and political debates).
