AN AMAZING BUILDING.
Among the many strange buildings in the universe, one of the most remarkable is the world's smallest church. This is found in the village of Vau.xhelets, in Guernsey, one of the .Channel Islands. This tiny building, which looks more like the spire of a church than the whole edifice, and is decorated profusely with shells, will accomodate only four persons at a time! So that, if you subtract the parson and the clerk, the organist and the choir, there is no room at all for a congregation! The church at Yauxhelets would be a very suitable place in which to store another tiny thing, namely, a copy of the New Testament which measures only eleven-sixteenths of an inch by ninesixteenths.
This tiny book, like the church is the smallest thing of its kind in the world. Amazing patience must have "been needed to make this wonderful little volume.
