lead-opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals the circuit court’s judgment affirming the State Tax Commission’s ruling that a religious bookstore owned and operated by the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention was exempt from 1980 Jackson County ad valorem property taxes because it was operated “for purposes purely charitable” within the meaning of Mo. Const, art. X, § 6 and § 137.
