MILTON NEWS

The moral revolution that has beer
going on in Milton and suburban districts
appears to not be confined to this locality
alone. Judging from what we gather
from the news columns of the local papers
there appears to be a spiritual awakening
all over the Peninsula permeating the
little churches by the wayside as well as
the larger ones in the most favored towns
But it is of Milton i'll which we are most
interested, and of which we know most
about That there has been much good
done in this town, no one who was ac-
quainted with the conditions before the
inauguration of the revival services, and
scans the present status of society, will
attempt to DENY The influence of the
good people of the churches. and others
who are not of any sectarian proclivities.
has been widely felt, and that feeling still
permeates the community, and is likely
to continue to do 50 for a long while to
come. We might cite instances of our
own personal obser vation; but it would
not be proper for us to individualize in
treating of subject of this kind. Cen
orally speaking, it is embarrassing to
new converts to be pointed out or spec
Salized in their new work. They are
likely, with a little private encourage

to make good christians. And here is
where we have often thought a great fault
lies-or, dereliction of duty would, per
haps, be better phrase to use-the older
members of the church do not take
proper notice of their converts; do not
give them the encouragement they should

suit And now, methinks, hear some
one inquire "Is Saul also amongst the
prophets p We'll, doesn't a rose by
another name smell as sweet? ?" is our re-
ply.
Revival services closed at the NJ. P.
Church on Sunday evening; the minis
ter and the church members being worn
out by the seven weeks effort. The
prayer meeting for men on Sunday after
noon at $50 will be continued so long as
there is a disposition on the part of the
men to attend, and make them interest

A unique way of insuring ones prop
erty without taking policy in our insur-
ance company has been demonstrated
this winter. A citizen not wishing to
take out policy on an outbuilding, filed
and packed it full of billets of green pine
wood-stove length. He had heard the
adage "A cord of green pine wood
would put hell out, " and has been trying
to prevent fire to his property by this
means. It is called The Pine Wood
Preventive" and so far has been success
ful.
