TALKS Equal SERMONS
Prof. Shaw's Presence and Words
an Inspiration for All.

The meetings at the Congregational
church are reaching many people,and
men more especially. Several men
have already been helped to get a
new conception of life and its many
problems. A fairly good number of
people showed their deep interest by
coming through the rain last night
and no matter whether Prof. Shaw
breaches or just reads the Scriptures
and explains them, he always has a
gospel message worth hearing, and
people know it. He appeals to strong
men as we'll as women, and thus a
large number OF men are found al
the meetings. Those coming to gel
help will certainly get 1t, for he has
a message to help all. Last night hi
read the first chapter of Colossians
and explained II.

SAFETY IN FLIGHT.

It was noted in the lbiplane flights here of Jimmy Ward that caution was used. Mere dare -devilism did mol figare in the affair. The aviator didn't dafy any weather conditions. He realized that flight in frail craft is through scientific principals of me- chanism, and. he wanted conditions right for the demonstration.
 The public would no more expect 10 see an aviator take after cyclone than 1t would expect a pedestrian to attempt to butt locomotive on the track.
 The policy of aerial flights govern. ed and subscryiant to weather condi- tions Is one that should be endorsed
 II is announced that sums aggre- gating more than million dollars have been pledged for the various aviation meets this year and that the air sports will be more interesting than last year. because greater number of cities have arranged for the events and larger prizes are to hc awarded.
 As a matter of fact the public was sickened last fall by the numerous and needless tragedies that occur rcd. Moisant IIoxsey. Johnson and others are gone. and of the aviators of the daredevil variety only two or three remain and they will be de- ferred from sensational stunts in the air by the fate that has befallen all the others nf their class.
 The Wright brothers have already declared that their interest In the merely spectacular phases of the science of aviation was ended by the series of deaths which darkened the principal meets last year
 It is evident that something differ ent Il the way of aerial entertainment twill have to be provided if public in terest in the meets is to continue, because the popular mind is now de manulng something more than flirting with death.
 What is wanted are not altitude and speed records, but contests dem onstrating the progress which has been made in the science of aviation by the invention of devices which greatly increase the safety of flight.
