FLINT, Mich. Nov. l3.-From

ton OF a building in Flint After
being the only brewery in Genesee
county for over 20 years, and To-
Gated on a site which has held
brewery for over 40 years, the
building, which is a big fourstory
brick structure, has been sold 10 the
I.akeview NJ. r. church. The con
Flderatiou was $1,000 which is less
than one.third OF the original cost
of the structure.
1T is but fitting" stated the Rev
p b Hoyt, pastor of the new
church, that building whose pro-
duct has probably done as much to
corrupt the morals OF Flint az any
institution in the city, should now
take on the role OF a reformer In
stead Of being one Of the allies OF
the devil and a breeder OF vice, II
will be devoted TO the service OF
God and the uplift OF the commun-
lty"
while there Is a big contrast in

other Flint citizen today there is
no question but that the change
will be for the better. 1t means a
