say there was great falling off in the at,
tendance at the festival of Juggernaut this
year. In spite of the numbers hired TO
pull aid TO applaud, the cars were moved

cline of paganism. There seems TO be
many deaths in the church here and there
through the country as the leaves of this
autumn fall around us. Meanwhile let no
one fear for the church. The church can
afford to give up for the rest OF Paradise
even her best. She sings the song OF the
brook
"For men may come. and men may go,
BUT 90 on forever"
