the early years of the camp ground, can
vass tents predOminated, while here and
there some one possessed with more than
the ordinary quantity of this worlds goods
and worth desire to have things rs COM
fortable as possible while building up his
spiritual and physical health, built himself
a one and half story shanty,
the external and internal finish
of which might be characterized
Is severely plain; but which for that DAY
and generation was considered Sr'hu III
deed Perhaps not over dozen or SO OF
tbese ancient structures are standing, ana
when one looks ut the dilapidated ana
cranky sides, with the angles all awry, up
ner windows that will barely let barrel
through on it's bilge, and then contrasts

chat has mostly usurped their place, he IS
fully convinced that the world, rs well rs
the sun, "dO move"
