In fact, churches are making trends toward simplification' in design in church architecture. The result is a distinetly ‘churchly’ and less expensive building.” The idea for a department of church location and relocation came from a Hoosier Presbyterian laymdn.

Half of the prisoners were put into the after hold of the vessel, which was less than the size of a regulation tennis court and only as high as a man’s head.

The rest fought with spears attached to poles.
