the pupits Of the churches here (which are numerous
and spacious enough to provide amply for the
spiritual needs Of the hotweather population,
and preach to congregations of moderate size.
The churches not crowded, ana olten
there are many seats to spare. Church ties
and religious duties do not to ill so large place
