Voor uw telegram, dat mij verkwikte, de betuiging van mijn warmen dank. Uw aanbod om de feestrede op uw zilveren jubileum in 1913 te houden, wordt Deo volente door mij aanvaard. Kuyper.

An expression of gratitude for a telegram sent by the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Dutch Federation of Young Men’s Associations on Reformed Principles, which met in Groningen on May 16, 1912. In its telegram the federation expressed regret that Kuyper had not been able to attend its annual meeting. The telegram also articulated the hope that he would be present at the celebration of the federation’s silver anniversary the following year (see 1913.08). The telegram ended with the wish that through Kuyper’s loyalty to Calvinist principles and his “heroic power, … ever-increasing rows of our people will find their life’s destiny in the pro rege.” For the numbering of this volume of De Standaard, see 1911.07.

The telegram was also included in De Groninger Bondsdag 1912. Redevoeringen en referaten [The Groningen Federation Rally 1912: Speeches and lectures] (Zwijndrecht: Bondsbureau, [1912], p. 61).
