conditions were faithfully observed. He

the last few days that there are number of

listen to the experience of one who has long
been connected with the movement in Eng.
land, do not go about to rich sympathizers to

own funds, subscribed in ever SO small INSTALL

haste about starting, but let the cream rise.
Collect sufficient capital before taking any
definite steps for beginning your store.

mittee of management, and when you have
chosen them have faith in your leaders"
