Don't misunderstood us. We are not
calling any place in particular, but
only wish to call attention to the
difference between the church of

they worth? A man with $4,000 I
can dictate the policy of any church
in Morgan county, unless some one
with twelve wants to, when in fact
a membership of one clean cut
Christian. unbiased by the clink of
coin, will do more for the cause
than thousands tarnished. "Come
We out from among them"
