llshlng the consolidated paper at Nashville.

sidered, and that time is required to estab-

committee, therefore, recommended that
the matter be given q full trial and that the
necessary change required to make the
church paper q success could be then made

OF trade will settle the matter as to the
boundaries between the Nashville book
store and the St. Louis depository.
