church goers. Mr.. Booker declared
that there are large territories in
West Virginia that are wholly
under the influence OF the Nor
mons.
The speaker spoke OF the Vest
influx OF people III the TWO States
caused by the indu, trial devol, p
ment Of recent years. West Viz

vania In coal and coke. Last year
thirty-three new railroad linee
were laid in West Virginia and
thousands CT people are coming in
to get work.
"The forces Of atheism and com
mercialism are at work among
those newcomers and if we don't
christianize them, they will heath
enize Us", said the minister.
