Gone for a Policeman

Judge Morgan J. O'Brien of the
supreme court of New York state
tells an amusing story Of two boys
who went to confession after having
remained away for many years.
The one who went into the box
first remained there for a long while.
Finally the little door opened, and
the priest came out. It was a sultry
afternoon, and he walked down the
aisle to the doorway to get a breath
of fresh air.
As he did 50, the boy in the con-
fessional poked his head out, and
with an alarming look, inquired
Of his friend who was in the pew
where has he gomez"
II don't know" replied the other
"where do you think he's gomez"
"Well, was the now thoroughly
frightened response; from what
I've told him I think he's gone 70

After a gradual decline of several
weeks, induced by age and hastened
by q cancerous affection on his

best known citizens in this commun-
ity, died at his home in Milford
early this. Friday, morning.
He was born at Warmers Mills,
Roxbury county, Connections, April
20, 1919, and had for his ancestors
people distinguished in the annals
Of that state. He came Of a hardy
race, was early Injured to toll and
trained in habits of frugality, which
traits dominated his whole long and
active life. In 1850 he came to this
county and purchased a farm IN
Dingman township on which he
resided until a few years ago when
he removed to town TO enjoy a we'll
earned retirement. His methods of
farming were systematic and care
full, marked by excellent Judgment
and brought him ample reward. In

The dell has gone on a vacation
His hands and hoofs no longer
direct or intimidate our people, and
his persuasive power to evil has
ceased. Sinners are crowding saints
for front pews in the churches, and
overworking their treasurers to pay
pew rents and pastors salaries.
Morality, virtue and temperance
walk our street with a firm tread
and confident air. Satan would
hardly dare return here now, but
we hope many strangers will come
Shows and tradesmen who seek
gain in exhibiting or selling their
wares still feel the necessity of
advertising and are ready to put
down their good money for it. They
are quite willing to take extra pains
to inform the people that they are
doing business and desire patronage,
and they know these methods are
productive of results. They are not
entirely content with the effect of
their persuasive powers when people
happen to enter their shops. They
are planning how to get them and
so urge them IN public manner to
come. This is business. Readers
of the PRESS will note that the
church columns have been discon-
tinued, and, as we'll all announce
ments of church services. Satan
has been dismayed, and though the
we'll known maxim with advertisers
is to keep everlastingly at it, this
does not appear applicable here in
the realms of morality and religion,
The Press is happy to think that it
has been so effective and been able
TO demonstrate the value of its
columns as az advertising medium.
When the dell takes a hand again,
If he ever dares, it will still be
available to the churches at the
former rates.

been conducted in Chicago, Pitts

Western cities by the Presbyterian
evangelistic committee, and their
results assure their conductors that
1.-THE mounting over that particular
ly reckless and inconsiderable die
tum heard of late in various quarters

ought to cease. Old-fashioned
evangelism is still found effective,
"eveh in the most modern and
bustling and worldly of our cities, ;"
and is yet force to be reckoned
with. In summing up the work of
the year the secretary of the COM
mittee says that the church is in the
best spiritual condition for years.
Evangelism is not dead within it, it
is not a spent force, but a growing
one, and the outlook for its continu-
ed usefulness was never brighter.

That village improvement society
has not yet materialized. It cannot
be possible that the ladies of Milford
are indifferent to the natural beau
ties Of the town OF that they depre-
cate their ability to greatly enhance
them by a little effort Think of
the satisfaction it would be to them
TO feel that they had added largely
TO the attractions OF Milford in a
material way. True, the ladies
are beautiful to look on and are
adorned with grace and style, but
they should not desire to center all
the admiration of guests on them
selves Cases may be supposed
where success in such efforts might
be provocative of difficulties. There
are many ladies among the guestsas
well as few men. If we were
a woman we would start the move
ment assured that our beauty would
not embarrass it or detract from the
possible general effect.
