ture as the city has always been, II was

ITSELF That shows with what liberal and
generous endeavor our Baptist friends have
carried forward their enterprise. 1t shows
too. that they having done thus well, there is
. need that our people generally should come

The Society want TO finish the Church this
season. They are able within themselves to
finish the interior of it, but they are not able
to erect the spire. They ask the good people
Of Keokuk to help them do that. And we hope

who loved Mr.. Lincoln and whom he loved
