Gus consideration so far as staying
home was concerned.
The West Detroit folk brought the
same band that did valiant service

sang as earnestly and as Justify as
Of yore.

suits of the revival" said the Rev.
c. f. Maxwell. pastor OF Immanual
Baptist church, Dragoon-ave. and

their position in the kingdom OF
God There are some who think
more about diction than about. the
