Church Doors Should Always Bo Open to Welcome Visitors.

Why do you not make warm places for the wanderers, the women and girls who perhaps are strangers to your locality, with no place to rest their weary heads until yards of red tape have been unwound? Why don't you really do something to save souls instead of preaching? Words are Indeed empty that are hot backed up with deeds. Did chrlet win souls as vou are trying to do?
