Shall we give it up to school purposes or to any other purposes than those intended by the representatives of the Church of God There is a very liberal spirit manifested in our little town by old and young for the promotion of the Christian religion Many gentlemen who are comparatively strangers in our midst are ready and willing to subscribe liberally to a cause beneficial to us all without any
