superintendent, by signs. calls off

fashion.
The Apostles Greed is recited in

but comes as naturally to the worship
pers as speech to the average person.
Supt. Sheppard then delivers short
sermon, taking the Sunday school text

members of the silent congregation.
His delivery has an earnestness that

may well imagine that he is an adept
