The selection of a site for the new
North Topeka Baptist church will be
left to the Judgment of the trustees
was the decision made at the meeting
Sunday at the church, following the
morning service.
The committee will inspect the diff
ferent sites now available. have plans
of the building made and go into the
matter thoroly. If for any reason it
is decided not to buy a new location,
the new church will be built on the
site of the old one, corner of Harrison
and Laurent streets. and the material
in the old church will be used in the
building of the new one.
Whatever is decided in regard to the
location of the church, the campaign
for funds will be continued and the
movement for the new church pushed
vigorously.
