are impressed with the Importance

Il religious paper, it is to be conceded
that the Baptist cannot, for it is
needed over this land that we should
come into a closer contact with one
another. For there are many living
churches and active pastors, who
have laid good plans for the prosecu-
tion of the Masters work, who
would b. greatly inspired by the ex-
amples of others. Our church is
