To become Christians, we must by belief be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Read Romans 6:3-5; Galatians 3:26-27; Mark 16:15-17; Acts 2:38; John 3:5; and many more verses. A study of our increasing urban population. Departing from the usual statistics and the sociological problems which are a result of the cities' growth, we learn that by observing what the workers of the city do, we can find out why the city grew.

A CITY IS DEFINED & AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SHOW THAT IT CONSISTS OF 2 KINDS OF PEOPLE - "BUILDERS" & "FILLERS". ASPECTS OF GREAT CITIES SHOWN; WHY CITIES DIE & ARE KNOWN AS "GHOST TOWNS".
