/ NOT he amiSS to recall some VI Iue hn"n'
imnractical schemes for which the A. Il.
p. people have been sc heavily taxed anu
which schemes have ended so disastrously
TO both the chuch and the people.
The Centennial History of the A. Il. T.
oburcb is q most interesting book, and 1t
should be in the hands Of every member.
The price, I believe, is two dollars. Inc
ISvnod has quite a number OF copies on
hand which the authorities are anxious 10
cell. If any member feels unable or un-
willing to spare the extra money Tor the
hook. I would suggest that he Take 1t u
| NJ Svnod's fund, by subscribing thai
| amount less than he otherwise would 90
| using the two dollars Sc reserved TO pa!
for the book. To the Centennial Hlstor!
Is mainly credited facts stated below. VI

funereal remarks are chiefly from other
source than the History"
