Houston at the back of the minister
are three windows which let in
bright glare OF light. which is un-
pleasant for the people to face and
must be detrimental to them as well
as the young eyes of the children.
If it is important for children's eyes
to be cared for by proper lighting the
room. then why is it not equally i'm
portant that the same care should be
given in our churches? The official
board of the church should have cur
tains put up over these windows and
the sunlight be kept from the faces
of the congregation; it would be com

ask that the church officials sit up
and take notice of the things which
are happening around them.
