[Cable.]
In: De Standaard 43 (1914/1915), no. 12926, June 3, 1914.
ET: The victories already gained were so surprising; new victories are imminent. The Lord has also been miraculous among you and for you. Thank you for also wanting to remember me in this context. It would be the crowning glory of my life if I am yet permitted to experience a complete victory.

Reeds de behaalde overwinningen waren zoo verrassend, nieuwe overwinningen zijn komende. De Heere is wonderbaar ook onder U en voor U geweest. Dank, dat gij ook mijner daarbij gedenken wildet. De kroon van mijn leven zou ’t zijn, indien ik een volkomen triomf nog beleven mocht. Kuyper.

Kuyper sent these words of gratitude in response to a telegram he received from the Association of Christian Teachers in the Netherlands and the Overseas Territories (see 1904.18), which met for its sixtieth annual meeting in Amsterdam on June 2–3, 1914. The association sent a telegram to Kuyper during its anniversary celebration to express its gratitude and loyalty to him for all he had done to promote the cause of Christian education. The telegram also gave voice to the hope that he might yet witness the final victory of that struggle during his autumn years. The meeting decided to send the same telegram to A.F. de Savornin Lohman. De Savornin Lohman did not receive the telegram, however, due to a mistake made by the sender of the duplicate telegrams.
