not because he favor it but because it would demon

advocate of local option and in his message recommended
that the cities as well as the country districts should have
the privilege of deciding whether liquors should be sold
or not, and in what subdivisions thereof if any. '

we understand that on of the two wa
Andrew and th other was himself.' It
wa true of Andrew, that honored a he
was end useful he waa, hi greatest
service to th church was bringing bis
brother to th Savior.' If wo oannot be
Peter, w may perhaps be Peter'

not brine Andrew but, Andrew brought
Peter, th teaser performing th greater
