  Nice job, there, Motor Chapel. Looking good.

• rosefirerising said:

  MOTOR CHAPEL IS LATEST DEPARTURE; Missionary Campaign to be Conducted in Southwest in Roman Catholic Church on Wheels. March 16, 1913, Sunday The motor-propelled church is the latest mode of carrying religion to the wilderness. The first "motor chapel" ever built in this country will soon enter into duty for the Catholic Church Extension Society to supplement the missionary tasks now being performed by railroad chapels. copied from this link query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F01E2D81139E633A... How cool is that?
