The little church in Laurium has had
hard row to hoe, but has come out on
top. When the organization was first
gormed ia Laurium with hardly dozen
members, il was feared that it could
never live in the town, but the memt ers
and their pastor, Rev. Green, worked
hard and built neat church and have
now a good siz I'd congregation, all OF
whom are hard workers. Since the pres
ent pastor has been here he has done
great deal TO further the interests OF the
church and has made many friends, both
among the members OF the church and
among the business people OF Laurium
outside OF the church. Laurium's only
church is like everything else in that |
oRstling city, it's bound to succeed and |
make itself felt
