to be the best available method.
Many of us cet an^ry at the actions
of some of our political officers,
but net many renounce their citizen

reli-^ous organizations can only ex

members are loyal, fair in their
actions, continue to prop-ress by
the moral and financial support of
their members. In return, the co
