cheer he brought with him and the
brightness which continues since his
departure. Mr.. Ley is one of the big
ministers of Christianity who doesn't
feel it beneath the dignity of his call

smile-such a cheer infectious smile
as does not fail to impress those about

church profit and be enabled to in
crease product more in keeping with
this really human sample.
