Lutherans on Chicago

colportage: is the distribution of publications, books, religious tracts, etc., by carriers called "colporteurs". The term is an alteration of French comporter, "to peddle" as a portmanteau or pun with the word col (Latin collum, "neck"), with the resulting meaning "to carry on one's neck". Porter, is from Latin portare, "to carry."

Taken late at night opposite Peavy Park.
