the serviees each Sunday, evening. •
Though small in, numbers this' con-
gregation' had a. church erected on
the present site `within four. years.. In
1900' a move was made to build a

"Looking, back 0 e • the

The •appeal is that such'-. children be

pleasures that 'only the country can
provide, ,and "with plenty of inourish-
ing'food to eat and' inilk to drink.
