The people on B street and for six or eight blocks each side know the gospel.

They have large numbers of books and papers and much Christian literature.

They have been taught the Bible truths; they are familiar with them.

Of what value is it then to continue to support on this short street, so near together, seven churches of as many different denominations which have for their members the respectable, moral people of the town?
I do not mean to say that the well-to-do, respectable people do not need the influence of the church and the preaching of the gospel.

But they can get these privileges without such a fearful waste of material and power.
