CT it's forty seven historic edifices
in the financial district of London
shall be sold for 100000 or 1000,
900 pounds sterling, of which the
church stands in great need or
whether they shall be preserved as
priceless relics of antiquity at a
great financial sacrifice.
Nineteen of the edifices are in
sections of the city where there is
virtually no attendance on Sunday.
These alone would bling nearly p
000,0 200 pounds.
Thus utilitarianism and sentiment
are Juggling at the hearts of high
church leaders, who are reluctant to
see these ancient examples of
church architecture RACED, but who
are hard put to keep them going, to
say nothing of the difficulties of
erecting and manning churches in
thickly populated districts. There
is a strong sentiment in the church
in favor of disposing of these old
seldom used churches at great fin :
ancial profit in order adequately to
develop church needs in more fer

Smuggling has increased to such an

more good have been entering the

This is attributed to the demand
in Russia for foreign goods, parti-

the government still retains mon :
opoly on all foreign trade. Many
dealers object to doing business
