Jesus and to be good fellows with wih Him While there are many man things that will vIll wi be spoken of during this gather gathering gathering ing ins there ther are ar a few things I especially desire to speak about aboul The first frt and chief of these thes Is the matter mat r of home homebuilding homebuilding building and the providing of places place to owel for the children We have wit witnessed wl a disposition among the people to draw off oft and go away to distances distance away Iwa from the th body bod of the church There Ther I i is a disposition to scatter Ster abroad rather than to gather together The tendency of our children is la to go goan an awa away ay from their homes home and s seek ek tk homes for themselves them somewhere RIse Alee IlM It I ap appears ap pears
