Mothodists desiring to form congregation, pur.

that there would be dedication Of the building In

Gated IT TO sacred purposes This was entirely salts

IL learned IN some way fiat the bishop Of the
Episcopal diocese OF Chicago, unknown the Method

Or yellow -c0vcr-booke ed II,
Or marvelled, after he had meal-ed,
How well the people cooked IL.
Or, maybe he'd sweetheart there
And aiternOonied about her,
And vowed that ne'er till he was graved
Could he get on without her.
Perhaps her mother at that point
Came In and mother h-law ed him; J
Perhaps her father carrfaged up

And train ed and street-cared TO his homo
