Greater Work in the Future.
The one great need of Shiloh to-
day is more room, we have outgrown
our present quarters; we need Sur
day school room which will accom-
$50 children and a reading
room fitted up so that the girls might
be trained in domestic science.
We could have a large cooking
class if we had the room that our
girls might learn the art of cooking.
We are trusting that some good
friend will soon realize the great good
that can be accomplished among our
people, through the church and will
give us the additional rooms; for we
can reach more people through the
church IN our race than IN any other
way.
No greater monument can lie
erected to the memory of q person.
than that of furnishing facilities for
the training of a people for larger
usefulness. Any person desiring to
to the uplift of The colored
people of Topeka will find he Shiloh
Baptist church, Twelfth and Buchan-
an streets, a splendid medium through
which to operate.
