In his address Dr. Shaw said, in P^rt: "I bring congratulations from the Chicago presbytery and the board of church extension unon the .prosperity and prospects which lie before you* This great work Is a testimony of those who believe in the success of the gospel. I think, deaT friends, you are to be congratulated upon the spiritual cornerstone you are laying. "Jesus celled his disciples and asked them whom do man say I am, and he said, but whom say ye that I am? And Peter, ,answaring said, 'Thou art the Christ/ Jesus then put hia seal upon his reply, and said, IJpon this rock will I build my church.' Millions Worship. "There are, according to the World's Atlas, i- 500,000,000 people who now worship Christ and hope for salvation. This is the Golden Age; it is in the future, so turn your faces toward the east and not toward the west, and our face in the direction of God. "The church must go on doing its work. We believe in the holy spirit; we believe in high heaven and In this faith we rest and In this expectation we repose our souls." ........ n;..... :';'TV:fclbnn1i&^ credil«^^^>ol :fd'f !tue'Jsoltf. ;pir>^»ef^ gressive -. party stamps and ship certlft$a^g|^ Murrr^NeJso^ Woman£.-J^©g?reJ^ $he**jfoM^en^ jPi!OgfeBS^^^ toifepT^ '^m^^^'im^ym^^A.........„., ........ ^Qfuce*^!**, aoors f^:,#a^f|gMlii^: Saturday . and - prominent-» Moosettes have-. 1 counter each day since popular stamps and certificates.. •** PIPS CAUSED FIRE.
