drifting away from the church. If
the rising generation of mime places
would come to Holmesville, they
might getan eniample that they would
do well te int/rate. The young people
of this tieighbothood take it delight in
the services of the church-; this is as
It should be. What is to become of
the churches if the young people .do
not take the place() of the older cams,
