80, 1916, figures given out by Bert B.
Buckley, State Fire Marshal, in ad-

Board of Park Commissioners to ask City Council to

Moratorium in Christianity
Urged by Religious Writer

A moratorium in Christianity is
proposed by writer in the Christ
liche Welt" one of the leading re-
ligious journals of Germany.

unparalleled type is displayed, and
where the very rudiments of Christi
anity are ignored, il would be wise II

at the front. and he is convinced that
