time pastor of two small Presbyterian
churches located at Pencil and Millers-
burg Ill.,, writes to Pastor Dascomb,

burg, ILL.,, was visited by tornado on
the 18th of last May, which destroyed
the church and 81 houses with a large

the Grinnell people of their time Of
distress and the ready and wide re-
Spouse to their appeal and asks that
something be now spared by this peo-
pie in the time of their prosperity for
