All guests who may be "within

come TO any and ail these services.
Those who are active in their home
churches are invited not only TO a
place among us but to take their ac-
customed part in oar worship. The
pastor will give prompt attention to
those who may be sojourning among
as and would be please Z to receive
calls or other pastoral attention
from him. He would also b. CRATE
ful to the members of the church
who would report to him any visit
ors in Milford who would welcome
him as a pastor Of our church.
The coming Of summer was no.
ticeable in It's effect upon our regu-
lar congregation last Sabbath morn
ing and evening. Doubtless there
we're many good and sufficient rsa-
sons that could be given but we do
hope that there may be no tagging
of interest on the part Of the towns
people beyond what is absolutely
necessary during the summer. The
church life has been very gratifying
during the winter and especially
for the past two or three months.
Let the church prove her loyalty
and vitality during this testing sea-
son by a vigorous, progressive, ac-
tive spirit and devotion TO the cause
of Christ.
The floral decorations for the past
two Sabbaths deserve mention be
cause of the interest shown and the
efforts put forth to secure the dog
wood and Mayfowers. Miss Gross
and Miss Louise Klaer are the COM
mittee for this month.
It has been decided to make some
changes in the interior of the church
by which the organ and choir will
be placed back of the pulpit and a
water motor will be put in TO pump
the organ The organ fund com
mittee have these changes in charge
aud expect to have them completed
in the near future. This arrange
ment is adopted by nearly all the
modern churches and many old
ones are making the same change
that wo are. It will probably ap-
pear rather unnatural 60 those who
have been worshiping in the church
for the past twenty years but
after this unfamiliarity in the ap-
pearance Of the church 8 interior
wears away it is generally thought
that all will be very much pleased
with these improvements.
The Children's Day music has
come and the school will practice il
for a few minutes in place of the
opening exercises for the iuterven.
ing sundays between now and the
sth Of June which will be Children &
Day. Let all members of the school
make it a point to come promptly
and practice these pieces. There
may also be one or two special
meetings If necessary for this prac-
tioe.
The pastor gratefully acknOw-
lodges a list of veterans who live in
and about Milford. Each Of these
names has received a personal in
vitation to attend the Memorial
service next Sunday evening. IL
any do not receive their invitations
It will be due to oversight and not
due TO neglect. We wish all to
come. Would this not be a splendid
opportunity to pay homage TO sol
dierly virtue and bravery, and no
nation has been blessed with more
Of It than ours, by filing the church
from pulpit stairs to the galleryi
Let the patriotism and good will TO
our veteran soldiers be manifested
at this service ia every way.
