Nine years ago the Rev. ]. A. Thos.
HAZEL became Presbyter of the Peo-
pies church. From the date of his
incumbency the policy of the Pres
byter and church has been to exer-
else ministry to all the people
within and without his immediate
church circle, within the city limits
and beyond the geographical zone of
Denver. Special attention has been
given to the development of the
youth. whether in the church or
otherwise. Rising musicians have
been a positive result of such effort
Adults showing the least ability in
vocal music have been laid hold of
and in course of time become note
worthy characters before the Den
YER public. The choir of the church,
assisted by others, have made last
ing impressions before the largest
white church of the city. Men and
women outside of our own COM
munion bear daily testimony of our
contribution whereby their daily
lives have been made happier and
the burdens of life alleviated, es-
pecially where the Bread and But
