Why Good Nouses Are Needed. "
Tlie accompanying illustration shows
a typical one-room church building and
also an exterior view and floor plans
of a modern, well-appointed \ church
building, calculated to take care1 of all
the needs of a church organization and
costing no more than the one-room
building. ?
This t>''of?oHed building has many
things in its favor as compared- with
the one-room structure, aside* from its
attractive appearance. First. It is
more durable, being so constructed as
to resist wind and storm; Second, it
is easily heated in the winder, its vesti
bule cutting out the cold wind from
the entrance, while by reason of the
building having several departments It
is needful to heat only the department
being used on those ? occasions when
only a small gathering is had. Then
the auditorium in the center is siif bled
from the extreme- weather by the de
partments surrounding it. though in
the summer these surrounding depart
ments can !>e opened up, giving abun
dant ventilation. Again, the new build
ing offers admirable quarters for the
several, departments and classes of the
Sunda> School, thus making the teach
TnsTol* iheV Bfble a much easier" task.
Then lh? social life of the congrega
t Ion ran he greatly promoted by the
better building, in that it affords ample
quarters for church receptions, ban
ijilf-ts and other affairs of this nature,
enabling the church to give the young
people adequate social activities under
wholesome ens irouuients.

taken Into the swamp which was
found at all times filled with too much
mud to even boar the weight <?f a
mule. It was put to a thorough test
for a period of ten days during which
time It. by Its magnificent jmwer, pull

Ing from 850 to 1.000 feet of lumber,
with little or, no strain becoming ob

the possibility of becoming stuck In

done I heartily recommend it to any

S. <". We are running the two now
aud are very much pleased with" them.
I am very glad that you have estab

sure we will use more of these trac
tors. I have been nslng tractors for
the past eight years and frankly say
that the Cletrac Is far ahead of any
thing that I have seen. I nm sure no
wheel tractor can eonipcto wllli them.
We have used ours for every purpoMc
that n tractor <V>?ld be put to and
they have never failed us. Have pull
ed logs out of swamps where mules
could not walk, plowed and harrowed
land so sandy that the wheel tractor*
would bury themselves. When you
are passing drop by and see what we
are doing. Yours truly.
