SIX CONVERTS PUBLICLY PRO

EVENING IN CENTRAL M. T..
CHURCH-REV. w. III. KILLER
breaches STRONG SERMON
ON 81 BELIEVE GOD"

O4N ~ ooDs
There is not a man on earth so
black, or crime so damning, none SO
bad but what if he come to God,
God will pardon his sin, blot out his
transgressions, cleanse his heart, and
make him every whit whole"
This was the comfortable doctrine
held out to poor sinners" at the
Union Revival services held in the
Central Methodist Episcopal church
last Friday evening, by the pastor.
the Rev. Will H. Hitler, who deliv-
cred a powerful sermon, preaching
from the text, Acts 27:25, 81 believe
God"
The audience was disappointingly
small, but what it lacked in num-
bers, it made up in enthusiasm, for
at the altar service, six penitents.
four women and two girls, who have
given themselves to the Lord, dur
ing these revival services, came for
ward, and there followed a good,
old-fashioned season of spiritual re-
freshing.
In the introduction to his sermon,
Rev. Hitler gave an intensely real
istic description of the tempest-toss-
ed vessel in which Paul was being
conveyed to Rome. So vivid was the
portrayal of the fury of the ele-
ments, that one could almost see the
waves rise mountain high, and the
panic-stricken faces of the sailors
whose lives were in jeopardy.
"The strongest reason that any
man can give for the hope that is
in him." continued Rev. Hitler, is II
believe God" That makes the pris-
oner, ruler. Belief in God-that's
what conquers every situation in
this life, makes every man master of
circumstances, who can truly say, l
believe God.
God has spoken unto men, SO
| that men, if they will, may under
stand what He said at least so far
as to be obedient to His commands.
The important question for you and
me is, whether we believe these
things that God has spoken.
There's none righteous, no not
one" THE soul that sinneth, it shall
! die"-death because of sim" God
speaks again. That sentence is not
absolute, if men meet the conditions
God has given. There is no man on
earth so bad but what if he come to
| God, God will pardon his sin, blot
out His transgressions, cleanse His
heart, and make Him every whit
whole.
Men. who can say in the depth of
their hearts, believe God, and obe-
diently do His will, to such God will
give the victory"
"And so to you who are out of
Christ will you take Jesus Us your
Saviour? believe God and be saved7
Never mind the difficulties and temp
| tations. Cast them by faith on the
Lord. o poor sinner, hear God call.
and come to Him, and believing on
Him, be saved"
The Rev. G. S. Wendell directed
the singing, and the Rev. w, H..
Swift, D. D., offered prayer

THE SPRING FESTIVAL Marked by Elaborate Displays oi Charming Hats and Garments a, Thursdays Openinus.

Thursday weatherwise was to the millinef's taste, and crowds attended the openings. The amount of early buying is noteworthy, and some of the choicest pattern hats were purchased at sight.
 Among the dainty models which set all the women exclaiming over their sweetness and beauty was 8 natty new aeroplane shape in Tuscan braid, with coral satin facing and wreath of marquisette roses
 A large black hat in Chantilly lace had gold chain about it's crown and for finish two handsome uncurled os- trich quills in black.
 Very smart was an English tailored urban Of fine black hemp with border of rich fuschia blue, and fancy black wings faced with the fuschia velvet.
 A Madame Nirot hat of gold and black brocaded silk, yelled with Brus- sels net, had an effective ruching of the net on the underside, and on the upper brim, with ties of black velvet
 Most attractive was a shade of Hell en pink in a new collapsible turban the entire hat yelled with Brussels net, with coronet of tiny rosebuds, and effective broad bow at the back.
 A Levalliere gray and white lace model over Helen pink had for orna- ment a big butterfly of black velvet lined with the pink satin and crown trimming of knots of blush roses
 Greatly admired was 8 rolling brim shape in mixed blue and red fancy braid with fancy willow reather at the side
 In up to date garments, an empire coat commanded immediate attention It was in blue, with military collar and cuffs, with a F'renchy finish essen tially smart.
 The Elsie Janis gown, in gray and white chiffon, with band of black mes saline. cut steel trimmings and cholis- l ter cord girdle, was greatly admired

LAYOUT FOR ROAD
 WANTED AT MoNTvILLE Probable That Meeting Will Be Called
 Last of This Month.

In all probability a special Mont vile town meeting will be held on Friday afternoon, March 31, in the town hail.. Palnertown. to obtain the feeling of taxpayers as to opening. a new road from the witch hazel mill to Kitemaug First Selectrnan Moses Chapman stated that the above date appeared to be suitable and that mo- tice would probably be given this week.
 The three members of the board of selectmen, Moses Chapman, Matt A. Tinker and Robert c. Burchard &C., conpanied by Frank W. Browning of Norwich, went over the proposed lay out on Wednesday, and arrived at a plan which it is believed will be agree able to all parties concerned.
 The original plan, which included a bridge or grade crossing over the tracks. of the Central Vermont rail- road, has been modified so that no new crossing will be required. The road will follow the old layout for but will lead towards the higher ground, as the Simeon Church estate property is approached. Near the res idence on this estate the road will swing to the north and west and pass in rear of the house. North of this property a right of way exists to Kitemaug at present and this will be used.
 The Church heirs object strongly to any break in the ground in front of this house, but the understanding reached yesterday was that no objec- tion would be offered if the road was laid out in the rear. This house and the farm land around it is leased by Frederick Perkins. The layout will bring the railroad crossing one-fourth of mile south of the Massapeag sta tion. The entire distance to be cov- l A1,- II one mile.
 The sharp curves and elbows on the present road will be taken out as far as possible. No estimate has been made of the expense, but the. select men believe it will not be a costly piece of work, as there will be little to remove, the principal cost being in grading
