Il am delighted with the New
Modern English Dictionary. It is
beautifully bound. The illustrations
are superior. The splendid type APP
peals to me. like the antonym
feature. The book is small enough
not to be burdensome and large
enough to meet fully the needs OF
the average man. SO far as can see
it is up to date in every particular.
Thanking you and wishing you a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New

What Rector Nicholas SAYS.
Rev. S. j. White.


1T is not as large as the Century
or Webster, but is handy volume
for the students table. think il
was Mrs. Partington who said she
admired the dictionary but the words
did not seem TO be we'll connected
The old time humorist is right. The
task of taking words and forming
them into elegant sentences to ex-
press eloquent thought belongs to the
speaker and writer But what should
we do without this treasury of cor
rect spelling and pronunciation. This
present volume is multum in parvo
and gives the latest definitions and
is elegantly Illustrated. The eye and
ear are both educated. The man
who has not let the boy die down in
him Will be delighted with pictures
of gems. birds to electric trains and
revelations of Roentgen rays In
shadowgraphs. This handy volume
will lie on my study table close TO
the Bible and the concordance"

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 23--"I have
made a careful examination of the
New Modern English Dictionary
which has been advertised in the

pleasure to commend this work. It
is accurate, complete, and one OF the
most convenient dictionaries have

and the statistical tables full of up
to date information. The paper is
good, the binding substantial, and the
type very distinct. In every way it
is most desirable work. 1t is

He commends II HlahIy

Having taken some time to examin,
and compare with other dictionaries
OF the same class, am glad to ex
press my high appreciation OF "ThC
Modern English Illustrated Diction
airy.
Its Introductory articles on langu
age grammar, etc, are charmingly
luminous. to be so brief Its Illus
trations are particularly fine and well
selected. Its appended lists and Ia.
bles are highly interesting and in.
structiye, especially that which glves
gist OF our latest census. The com.
bination OF good type and paper of.
fers a pleasing page. The mechani.
cal work is good the only error not.
ed, the miscollection in the headings
OF automobile and aviation terms.
The dictionary proper is ample for
all ordinary use; and for such use, is
more convenient than an unabridged
edition. Though having both at hand
use the smaller more than the larg-
er book In short, the Modern Eng
lish dictionary is a splendid work. ex-
ceptionally so at its low selling price.
| commend it heartily.

WILL NOT TELL
TO WHICH CHURCH
President VIII Attend Services To-
morrow, But Does Not Give
Out the Location.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, March 15.--Presi-
dent Wilson will attend church to-
morrow, but he was careful tonight
not to announce what church, thereby
profiting byslast Sundays lesson. He
let it be known last Sunday that he
would attend the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church. When the white
house automobile, bearing himself and
family arrived near that edifice he
was astounded to find large crowd
waiting. The president directed the
chauffeur to another church.
President Wilson hates the crowds
who attend church to cape at their
chief magistrate and his family and
until he selects a permanent place Of
worship will not tell in advance which
church he will visit.
