Congregational

Services at the CongregM ional church
Sunday were largely attended. In the
absence of Mrs. Powers quartet COM
posed of Mrs. Fisk, Mrs. st. Glare,
Messrs Fleetwood and Camp rendered
"Again Returns the Day of Holy Rest"
by Hosmer, for offertory and "Gloria In
Excelsis" by Dudley Buck for anthem,
AS previously announced, the pastor
preached on the theme, ga Fair Hear
ing of Christianity" He stated that
the need for preaching on this theme is
not that the Bible lacked intelligent
students; not that men are not familiar
with the teachings of Jesus; not that the
civilized world as whole does not NOM
inally believe in Christianity; but that
in too many instances it is nothing more
than nominal Christianity, men do not
believe in Christ and accept Him as
their friend and Savior. The preacher
then stated that since the world does not
lack knowledge concerning the claims of
Christ, and since the teaching of Christ
ianity finds favor with this same body of
intelligent men and women, it is persuad-
ing to follow the results of their thinking
on this subject.

Advent

Last Sunday morning the subject used
by Pastor Wales was 1.-THE Second APP.
pearing and it's Effect upon the World"
The text was Rev. II.
This subject of Christ's second coming
seems to be the Alpha and Omega of the
Bible. 1t was declared by the first proph-
ct, Enoch, and by the last, John. The
text was divided into seven sections.
First, Behold; take notice, see. He
cometh; Why? Christ; foretold by all
the ancient prophets. The Word of God,
Faithful and True, whom God shall send
to be King of Kings and Lord of lords.
When? No man knows, but he's coming
in an hour when We think not. Suddenly
shall he appear. not as Babe of Bethlehem
or lamb to the slaughter, but as Lion of
Judah. With clouds, coming as he went
away. Every eve shall see him and they
also which pierced him. Their last view
of him was as he hung upon the cross.
but by the resurrection of. the dead they
shall see him coming in power and great
glory. 1t will be real fact, not mere
fancy or secret rapture, but with
sound of the trump of God, awaking all
the dead, not to a day OF Salvation, but
to Judgment. All kindred of the earth
shall wall because of him, if they are
found unprepared. Then will be inaug
urated the last great prayer meeting,
not of saints, but of sinners, not to God
but to rocks and mountains. Then shall
the righteous shine forth in the kingdom
OF their father.
The evening subject was likewise in
spring, "The Sure Prophetic Word"

UniVerSaliSt

Rally Day was observed at the Unver
salist church last Sunday in the morning
service and Sunday school with crafty
ing results. The music was of high
order and was especially appropriate.
Mrs. Ernest Gates sang for offertory a
solo which was highly appreciated by
the large congregation. A highly ritual
istic service was used and will be contin
ued in place of the service used during
the last two years. This service con-
tains chants by the chior which greatly
enhances it over the one recently used.
The pastor preached a UNCONVENTIONAL
sermon from Ezekiel Chap. IS, VS..
Behold, all souls are mine" The sub
ject was, "Why The Universalist church
Cannot Die" 1t dealt chiefly with the
fifth cardinal principal of Universaligm-

How to Travel Without FATIGUE.

The secret of travelling without ia
tigue is to abandon thoughts of amuse-
ment and to conserve the energies. Do
not let your nerves get the upper hand
of you. Refrain as much as possible
from conversation, for in the noise of
travel talking soon becomes firing.
Avoid reading, for the use Of the eyes
while the train is in motion seems to
induce sick headaches and nausea. All
this seems to say that you will have
an embarrassing and tiresome Journey
but If your trip is a short one isn't
this worth while if you can reach your
destination bright eyed and with an
undaunted spirit, ready to. enter gayly
into anything that is expected of you?

old subject and holding the closest aSten-
tion of the audience. The musical part

MoLAssEs FOR ROADS,.

OF Great Value In Improving High
ways When Mixed With Lime.
Molasses mixed with lime and oil Is
being experimental with by the United
States department OF agriculture in
roadmaking, and this combination
promises to prove of great value in
lettering the highways in certain Sec
tons of the country.
Last fall the experts Of the United
States department of agriculture made
several experiments on h streets OF
Newton, Mass. One that attracted no
tice on the part Of authorities on street
construction and no little ridicule was
what was dubbed the "molasses road"
The street commissioner selected a
difficult piece of O on Summit
street, with a steep grade and a sharp
curve-just the spot for quick destruc-
ton Of a road by the automobile and
heavy traffic and an equally advanta-
geous place for observation OF the ef-
feet Of the strong wind.
A preparation Of molasses, lime and
oil was mixed with a small amount of
CcUlCAI duu SpACdu OA la OuAAoSO "
The liquid In the mixture ~percolated to
the substratum of rock and made a
surface of from two to three inches of
heavy binding material. That section
has passed the tests Of winter, and to-
day the surface is so hard that consid-
cradle force is required to dent it with
a pickax.
It is not slippery, it gives a firm
footing for horses, and automobiles do
not skid. On this section Of Summit
street are located fine residences and
a large school for girls, and today,
with the windows open, no irritating
particles Of dirt are driven into the
dwellings.
Any one who takes a look at Sum
nit street is not likely to gibe at the
''molasses road" It is said to be less
expensive than street watering.

dry a day or two. He seemed to think
the mission Of the drag was to fill up
the ruts. At any rate, he would drive
merrily along, leaving in some places
hardly a track among the clods.
About the most satisfaction we eve
realized from dragging the roads came
from a job done in the mud just before
the last freeze in the fall. How can
you tell when to do it? Just guess at
it and keep trying. If it thaws the
next day there is no harm done. And
when you do hit it you surely feel like
a public benefactor as you watch the
teams go gliding by on your pavement
to bring up with a bump on your neigh
boris rough road. The spring is the
time to use the road drag If you want
to do some lasting good to the high
way. The dirt is soft and easily work
ed then, and a few trips over the road
with the drag, cleaning out the bitches
and rounding up the surface, will do
more good than a gang Of men with
the grader in the fall. The best job
I ever did with the drag was to round
up the track on a bad clay hill just
as the frost was going out. That hill
was good all summer.-C. ]. Kelsey in

Maintainina the Hiahwax..

The New York State Automobile as
ISOLATION has Endorsed a bill before
the legislature at Albany which pro-
yides for a tax on automobiles grad
uated as to weight, the proceeds to be
devoted to the maintenance OF the i'm
proved highways Of the state. On the
basis Of present registration an annual
income Of 100000 is expected from
this source The income from auto
mobile registration fees in Massachu-
sets for eighteen months amounted
tx $4,000, which was used in road
maintenance last year. But the state
has built TO miles Of improved road,
which require for proper maintenance
an expenditure OF $500 q mile a year.
It Is estimated that a law patterned
after that recommended by the New
York Automobile association would
provide a sufficient income in Massa-
schusetts to maintain the improved
roads without a specific legislative APP
preparation.

STRING OF JEWELS
FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON, March "A string OF
thirty-five diamonds and an illumined and
embossed book were presented last night
to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt as token
of the esteem of thirty-eight of her
friends, prominent society women OF
Washington. The two gifts were taken to
the white house by Miss May Williams
and Mrs. Robert Hit. wife of Congress
man Hit, of Pennsylvania, members of
the committee which purchased them.
They were not presented to Mrs. Roose-
welt in person, but were handed to an
attendant at the white house door. The
names Of the other donors have not been
made public. -.
While the cost of the string of dia-
monds is unknown, some estimate of its
value may be gained from the knowl-
edge that the contributions ranged from
$50 to 500 from each of the 80 donors. The
center diamond weighs two carats and
the other "a are graduated down to quar-
ter carat diamonds at either side Of the
small clasp. The luminosity of the neck
lace is heightened by a platinum rim.
/ The friendship book, measuring Sxlo
inches is bound in cream-colored calf
skin highly embossed and lined with
MORE silk. In the center of the cover.
Mrs. Roosevelt's monogram, "E, K. R., "
appears in gold. The six pages are of
vellum, and on the first page quota
ton from Antony and Cleopatra" is
traced in gold
Whose virtue and whose general graces
speak that which none else can utter"
The book was designed by Miss Flor
ence Pike a teacher in the Arts and
Crafts school.
