The Mennonites grew out of four
sects of Dutch, Flemish and German
Baptisys. They derive their name from
Memo Simons, Catholic priest who
became a leader of the Anabaptists in
about 1887. Simons was born in 1892
and died in 1887. His True Christian
Belief was published three years be-
fore his death. Following the death of
the leading spirit the sect underwent
divisions and changes of creed

The forehead filled with lines is not
always a sign of years. Often it is
nothing but evidence of bad facial
habits. Do you knit your eyebrows
when you are thinking of perpleXing
matters or are down on your luck?
If you do you will have a forehead
scanned with lines and several deep
burrows between the eyes.
