In NY hst isttss l suggested that
thsre Was sAother, aAd . most doAinaa NJ
factor that would sooner or later mani.
fsst itself in een.sktiOn With your
very injurious habit Of noa-ehsrea.

they are the eoasested districts. 1t is

American cities and towns where the
work of the church becomes the most
difficult and has to be supported by
so4sids help. II 10 in thsse sections
where property becomes undesirable.
New you populariss in Glenwood
Springs the habit of non-church going,

In her heart I am, and there is none
beside me; how has she become desc

hiss and wag his hand" Several
nsaths previous to my coming to this
city to take up my work as your
Methodist preacher heard q platform
lecturer of more than statewide repu-
tation, who had been here and had ill.,
vsstigsted local conditions, say things
that would not wish to state in this

fsssnes presehers jsked me about my
s41si.tnest, along lines I need not
Asss mention. But seriously now, in
tAs furthsra.es of ny thought, sss
tAsss tAiAgs true, or are they not truef
1Asy have been currently reported to
- BY ysar own citizens, viz: That :

bssn told me that not long ago that
qssenly woaan, Helen Gould, spent
ss.e days here, became 20 impressed
with your beautiful intemountain city
thae she would have built = summer
cottage here, but This is unmistake-
aoly true, that We are living in = day
and under a sense of moral and Chris
tian concept, when these factors are
bound to play an important part in the
true assets of property and CONNER

In the days following the civil war
two men that had been through the

the American people. One was Chap
