A Word About Copyright
I do not, obviously, own the copyright to this book. It's likely that since this book was published in 1932 that it has since fallen into the public domain. If, however, I'm notified that the copyright on this book is still active, I will, of course, observe that right.
Additionally, this site is not connected in any way with Cokesbury.com, Abingdon Press, nor the United Methodist Publishing House. This site is meant solely for commentary on The Cokesbury Party Book.
