Excerpt from Souvenir Year Book and Parish Guide of the Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist: Near the Intersection of Ouachita and Grand Avenues, Hot Springs, Arkansas; For the Year 1913 The church of St. John has proved a blessing not only for the local Catholics but also for the numerous visitors. Many a one made his peace with God here in our church, who had not gone to the sacraments for years at home. Finally, the many advertisements that are to be found in these pages and which are a great help to us, show that we have a large number of friends also among the business men. To those who have kindly patronized us by placing their ads with us, we extend our most sincere and hearty thanks, and as one good turn deserves another, we especially request that all our readers consult our list of advertisers before making their purchases. Hoping that the harmonious and amicable relations of the past between the pastor and the parishioners, between St. John's congregation and the outside neighbors shall continue in the future, we shall remain with best wishes to all.
