but fifty women and children.
Dr. Edwards preached an impromptu sermon He
proposed in conclusion compromise with the
men, saying that outdoor air and pushing a
lawn mower made muscle. he would permit the
men to their lawns or play golf up TO 10
o'clock Sunday morning, but then they must get
ready and go church. The next Sunday the fifty

provision for every OF their needs they
grow UP. They should not have 10 go beyond the
church for any essential. and a place court is
an essential; SO, why not have it? We want a
gymnasium with places for the basketball and
baseball teams 10 practise in. The boys OF these
teams come church right along. Then want
a place 10 read and rest, and arrangements for any
classes may decide 10 establish. And, finally.
We must have q couTting room"
The church authorities saw it that way. While
