second year of national prohibition.

services were enjoyed and all had
grateful hearts that this much hoped
for and prayed for day had arrived.

pastor, Rev. David Kellar. While we
now have national prohibition, there
are still some leakages in the law,
and it was the desire of all to soon
see these stopped.

Columbus did more for America than

people had good arguments but after
much consideration the judges de-
cided in favor of the affirmative.
