THE CHURCH COLUMN

Next Sabbath morning will be the
regular time for the communion
service. We desire to call especial
attention TO this service and trust
that all those who love our Lord
will unite with us in this most
blessed saoramental occasion. But
let none come without heatt search
ing and prayer With reverence
and holy desire let us seek n closer
union with the Savior whose sacri-
fee for our sins we remember.
The topic for the evening is
"Sin. Is there any such thing (?
Is sin an illusion of the mind? Is its
seat in the physical world, or is it in
the human will in rebellion against
the divine law? Is its essence to be
found in the inner or the outer iifeP
The deep interest taken in the
work of our church by the minis
ters who have been spending a few
weeks among us has made the sum-
mer one of unusual privilege. Their
part in song and testimony, as we'll
as in preaching, gave new life to all
the meetings and added greatly to
the profit of the pastor and people
alike.
At the service next Sabbath
morning Miss Edith Loreaux Of
Brooklyn will sing a contralto solo.
At the evening service the choir
will render the anthem, "Let Not
Your Heart Be Troubled. This
anthem was given last spring and
several requests nave been made
for its repetition.
The prayer service last Tuesday
evening was most refreshing oc-
caston. Any who miss these mid
week meetings miss more than they
know in the blessings of the church.
The fair held Wednesday evening
was a success in every way. The
weather was favorable and the at.
tendance large. We highly appre-
oiate the coming of large number
of friends from the other churches
as we'll as the friends from out of
town. The proceeds amount to
$3.50.

Our town council should pass an
ordinance against littcring the
streets with posters. They now
have a yellow appearance caused by
a superhuity Of advertising done by
nearby town. There is a propri-
ETY. in all things and if our neigh
bors are anxious to have our people
go there and spend their money
they should be willing to recipro-
cate to the extent of having their
advertising done in a seemly and
decorous manner and not disfgure
our streets with a litter of yellow
paper.

the gratifying success Of securing
sixty. six advertisements Of business
places in and near town. This is a
step in the right direction and
shows that there is some life here.
Now If all these would perpetuate
this showing by placing an "ad" in
the local papers people outside
would conclude there was somebody
here and that they we're anxious tc
do business. Let your lights shine
and you will aid in making the
town a place that will be seen,
heard and folt in business. We are
prepared to hear from you.

The borough board of health is in
clined to see that some people ia town
keep their premises more cleanly,
and that there are fewer pools of
stagnant water along the cutters. 1t
is at times like the past few weeks
when there is urgent need that the
streets are in proper shape to carry
off the water. Ordinarily there is
no difficulty but when excessive rains
fall their deficiency is apparent.
There have been some signs of mos
quitoes here this summer which
may be attributed to these unsightly
pools.

alton to their book of rules:
"YOung men with hats on the back

over their fOreheads and cigarettes
in their mouths are cheaper than

them and we will not associate with
them"

RANCE NAMfD F6R M.KiNLRYl!,
The PuIghsae OF which Hinged Upon
the Presideha'a Ftrst Election
-Growb crane Fruit.


A good many children Of the male
persuasion have been named after
President Mckinley, but IL has re-
mained for California woman to
fasten the presidential cognomen
upon a tract of land, says the Chi
cago Record Herald. The first gen.
tleman Of the republic feasted a brief
season ago upon some of the most
luscious fruit it, had ever been his
privilege to sample. Grape fruit it
was; large, juicy, grateful and com
forting. The label on the basket
showed IL to be from "The Mckinley
tract Redlands, Cal" After eating
of the fruit the president had to sug-
gest the story, and here it is: Mrs.
David Morey, a woman who was the
pioneer in the growing of oranges in
the Redlands section, feasted her eyes
several years ago upon a nine-acre
tract of land adjoining some of her
property. She wanted to buy, but the
owner said her may. He wanted the
tract himself.
just before the first Mckinley cleo
tion, however, the owner, being in
need of money, told Mrs. Morey she
might have the acres. And then it
was the lady's turn to hesitate, She
didn't know how the election was go.
ing, but she had a pretty clear idea
that it would be bad for the business
OIL the country If Bryan were elected
So she told the owner that if the
election went MeKinley's way she
would buy the nine acres. If the
gentleman from Nebraska was elect
ed she wouldn't buy.
Papers were signed on the day the
official returns were announced.

YlLlAeE IMPROVEMENT.

The season just closing in town,
whatever may have been the rea-
sons, and there are probably sever
al. has been generally unsatisfac-
tory. Before another comes it may
be well for the people interested to
bestir themselves TO see that AT
least in some respects the town
shall present n more inviting ap.
pearance. It would require but little
effort and no great expenditure Of
money on the part of our citizens to
greatly improve their places and
surroundings by keeping down the
weeds and grass and trimming the
trees and shrubberY. There are
many premises in some of the most
prominent places which are eye
sores to beholders. Then the coun.
oil should see to it that the side
walks, especially those on the most
public and most travelled streets,
are in passable condition. Some
of them which are most used are IN
really dangerous condition. If the
owners of the property adjoining,
which is the most desirable and
best paying in town, have not suf-
ficient pride to expend a small sum
in keeping the walks in an ap-
proachable condition they should be
forced to do sol
Provision also should be made to
cut the weeds and grass along the
streets. They create an untidy,
thriftless appearance, to say nothing
of their effect on health and COM
fort. A little pride and few dol
lars would go a long way toward
improving appearances. Other
towns have seen the propriety of
catering to the eyes and tastes of
transient residents and have made
their places attractive. Can we
hope to compete with them unless
we do likewise? It may be said
that these matters are Of small mo-
ment, that all a boarder wants is TO
be well fed and kept in comfort,
but this is a mistake. They note
appearances and remark on lack
of enterprise as evidenced
by bad walks, staqnant pools of
water along the cutters, weeds and
grass overgrowing the sides of
streets and other unkempt and un-
tidy indications, such as lots in con.
spiouous places which are covered
with a tangled mass Of weeds, brush
and briars. We would remark in
the same way if we visited other
towns and saw a similar state of
carelessness and neglect. Appear
anoes though often deceitful are
frequently the criterion by which
people judge. Would a stranger
beholding our school houses for in.
stance, be inspired with the idea
that we were a progressive and
highly cultivated community And
would he select such places in
which to educate his children when
he compared them with other
towns? Milford as a summer resort
has sharp competition. Numerous
towns are striving for city patron
age and unless we keep up appear
ances we must fall behind in the
procession. This is a serious fact
and our people will do we'll to face
it seriously.
