pal church last Sunday evening was

What's the matter, with having a po-
liceman stationed down in front of the
Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday
evenings to look after the gentlemen
and ladies who seem to think there Is
no law governing the borough. The
services are quite often disturbed by
the hdeous yells and cursing and
screeching. and after services are
closed the streets are almost impass-
able because Of the crowds that stand
along the street and will not allow the
church going people to pass. Is there
not some way to remedy this?
