It is not hard to determine wheth- to Lakeland and her churches, as well as to the newer of our citizens, most of whom wonld meet the {ehurch more than half way if some such plan were devised for the church to make the first move. In the case of the many denominations rep- resented but not formally organized ‘here a religious census would lead to acquaintance of one representa- 'tive with another, and eventually te the formation of new churches. I certainly believe we ought to take a religious census of our eity. MRS. WILLIAM STEITZ PARK HILL VWAV VWA W VAAAAAANY VWWAVVAAAAAAY Ten Good Reasens, Why You Should Own a Lot in Park Hill First.
