Colonel Roosevsit has had thirty

1t is interesting to note that the

Efficiency IS the watchword of our

Church Of Christ Is coming to her own
IN this respect. We nave been rather

On New Years day, 1911, as l was

reading in Tamil an address 70 which
the others gave strict attention. 1t
ran like this

that you have greatly impaired your

found humility and sincere respect, We

This was naturally a confusing thing
