ET: Your esteemed congratulations upon my 78th year is gratefully accepted by me and it pleases me very much that my work titled “Nadere toelichting” appeals to you. Your clubs are of such great significance to our party. That these clubs are served by my writings is truly satisfying to me. May the Lord make you an increasingly rich blessing for our nation and people.

Uw gewaardeerde gelukwensch met mijn 78e jaar wordt dankbaar door mij aanvaard, en ten zeerste verblijdt het mij, dat mijn werk getiteld “Nadere toelichting” u toelacht. Uw clubs zijn voor onze partij van zoo hooge beteekenis. Die clubs door mijn geschrift van dienst te zijn is mij een ware zelfvoldoening. De Heere stelle u voor land en volk tot steeds rijker zegen. Kuyper.

Kuyper sent this telegram to express his gratitude for a telegram he had received from the twelfth annual meeting of the Federation of Anti-Revolutionary Propaganda Clubs in the Netherlands (see 1902.06), which met in Utrecht on October 27, 1915. On the eve of Kuyper’s seventy-eighth birthday, the meeting sent a message stating its great appreciation for 1915.08 and thanking God that Kuyper still had the strength at such an advanced age to accomplish this work, which was so significant for the Anti-Revolutionary propaganda clubs. The meeting also expressed the hope that he might be given renewed strength so that he might continue to serve as a rich blessing for the nation and its people in the coming years.
