The result of our efforts and the r own given by you have now made it possible for us to have wn structure, over which is inscribed the Biblical injunction to 'Love Mercy - Do justly and Wall Humbly With Thy God ' . We feel that if all the members of the community live by the principles of the Christmas Spirit and the words of Micah, etched in the foorway of our building, our Town will be the best of places to live in .
