ganization can progress unless it raises funds to susitain it no selfsupporting church can pro gress unless its members as true stewards give voluntarily to support it we say that we must pro gress in

the town continues to support the town as before therefore the only wav that expansion apd the neeh for new facilities can be paid for is by increasing the taxes to the home owner the men who have sold the land dont care for they have moved out of town the builder does nt care he lives in another town now let us suppose that much of this land which has been sold was described as useless it was only swamp and a poor grade of forest tangle thus there was no bene fit in keeping it as no one could make monev from it and therefore it would be far bet ter to turn it into something useful this
