History

The current St. Giles Presbyterian Church building, found at 729 Bank Street, was designed by John Pritchard MacLaren (architect) from 1925–1928.[1] A hall, and offices are found across the street from the church at 174 First Avenue. Erected by the church, a bronze plaque is dedicated to the members of the congregation who were killed or served during the Second World War.[2]

B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.you may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.a perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
gollark: Sinthörion, your response to the paradoxoform?
