asset the church has, but IL ID also
one of the greatest assets of the com

alone q religious value, it has as well
a value of sentiment and might even
venture to suggest that the Sunday

and economic value
That community in which the Sun
day school furnishes IL one fri which
We are not surprised to find a larger
