W.

Some of the best people in the township belong to this church, and while they have certain formalities not usually practiced by the ordinary denominations, such as a feet wash- ing ceremony, etc., they havea perfect right to their religious beliefs and should be left to worship God as their conscience dictates. There isa law to protect these people and it should be exerted in their behalf. Last week the following important real estate transfers took place in Summit township.
