e'The Native Christians are leaving

Big dinner and free beer"
So advertises a local restaurant and
the question arises as to whether the
Native Christians during their stay here
had shouldered the old customers away
from the beer, or whether the old Gus
toners went temporarily on the wagon
for the sake of impressing the Native
Christians during their visit. Another
point raised is this: Are there no Ma
