for the first time. l hope to see them
again. and Bro. Andrews is arranging to
go there occasionally. There is ample
material for a society to conduct lay SER
vices. We need more of this kind of
work, and our people should be trained
to it. There is no good reason why we
should entrust the education of our
children to the orthodox. nor is there
any reason why we should not have con-
gregations meeting in the school houses
all over the country, conducting Sunday
Schools and holding lay services. This
is practicable. The little companies will
grow into churches and form circuite,
Thus the children will be kept within
our own ranks, and the people will grow
spiritually, and the moral tone of the
community be elevated"

waste places in the West, and not have
his heart touched, and interest awakened

movement all along the lines Of church
