Let the publisher tell it. Westminster Press, Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia 7, Pa., speaking: "Here is a fascinating and unique self-teaching and self-learning device designed to enable \'Oung people to learn facts about the church and its historical background in a new and very exciting way."
The Press has a kit to sell.

Now I must add $70 more to the
