THE season of building has now COM
and we renew our annual suggestion
that the Methodist people build tina
long talked of front and tower. i
should be of stone and when done tn
building will resemble one of those Eng
Hsh churches that tourists go wild over
especially if vines are trained to cover it
sides and angles. We hope to live to SCI
this improvement so greatly needed
With the front built out as suggested
the nave can be heightened and othe
changes in the interior made, making
a very fine house of worship.
