UNITED LENTEN SERVICE.
Rev. Latta GriswoId, of MiddIetown, R. lp Was Preacher at Christ Church

Rev. Latta Criswold. rector of Berk- eley Memorial chapel, Middletown, R l., was the Lenten preacher at the fifth of the united services held by Christ Episcopal and Trinity Episco- pal churches on Thursday evening at Christ church.
 Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector of >the church. read for the first lesson the second chapter of Lamentations and as the second lesson a part of the 14th chapter of Hebrews. Arch deacon J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trinity Episcopal church offered pray CT.
 Rev. MT. Griswold took as his text, +Rev. 8: 1: And when he opened the seventh. seal there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour" In his introductory remarks Rev. MT. Griswold said perhaps the most difficult book of the Bible to understand is the last book, Revela- tions. St. John, after his deliverance, took refuge on the island of Patmos and on Patmos he had a vision of the eternal struggle between goodness and evil. Perhaps in no other book in trayed so wildly as in Reyela. tions. In his vision St. Paul saw the drama of life in the breaking of seven seals by the Lamb. When the Lamb opened the first seal he saw a white horse. and he that Sat InSTGOu udo ct UOW. HIS WdS the image of Christ Himself,'' Rev. MT. Griswold said.
 And when he opened the second seal red horse came forth. This repre- sents war. He opened the third seal and behold, a black horse Rev. MT Griswold said this horse is the image of scarcity and hard times. When the Lamb broke the fourth seal there came forth pale horse, representing ruin, famine and pestilence. When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, St. Paul saw the souls of those who were when the sixth was loosed there was a great earthquake. This represents the wreaking of the vengeance of God on man for his sins. And when he opened the seventh seal there followed a silence in heaven for about the space of a half hour. In this sentence is the key to the mystery of Gods will.
 We are living in an age of great difficulties. Social and moral standards are going more and more into chaos. It matters very little. in the sight of God, in what form evil tempts us. Sin is sin and involves separation from God. We know our temptations. Some times we feel the need of advice. Sometimes we go to others for it and sometimes others come to us. Give God a chance to speak to you Our ears are open to all other voices in the world, why are they not open to His? From the silence of communion God will come to the soul. There is no solution for human problems save that we learn to do the will of God. To know God is to have eternal life.
 There will be two more united Lent en services this year. the next to be held next Thursday at Trinity church when the preacher will be Rev. George L. Paine, rector of St. PauPs church, New Haven, and d~the following Thurs day evening the united service will be held at Christ church when the ser mon is to be delivered by Rev. Alvin P. Knell, rector of Trinity church, AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Iowa One of the Leading Automobile
y States. ff,}z#$t.5 -7

Automobile figures compiled from
the statistics of twelve Of the lead-
ing states of the Union show that
Iowa made the largest increase In
registra ton last year OF
any of these states. 1nE1914 Iowa
made an increase of so per cent in
the number of automobiles register
ed as compared toEl913. This year
the number of automobiles register
ed in this state is thus far consider
ably ahead of year ago. On April
18th there were about 1000 more
automobiles registered in the sccre-
tary of states Office than there were
on the corresponding date in I9l 4
OF these twelve principal states
from which figures have been secur-
ed, Iowa has more automobiles per
capita than any other except Cali
fornia. The figures show that Cali
fornla has one automobile for about
every nineteen people, while Iowa
has an automobile for every twenty
one people. These figures are based
on the 1910 census. Michigan has
one auto to every thirty-seven peO-
pie, Ohio one to every thirty-nine,
Indiana one to every forty, Illinois
one to every fOrty-three, Massachu-
sets one to forty-three, New York
one to every fifty-four, and Pennsyl-
vania one to every sixty-nine inhab-
itants.
Last year there were 106,O86 au-
tomobiles registered in this state.
If the present rate of increase keeps
up the number registered this year
will show a big gain. In 1914 Iowa
registered 1,119 more automobiles
than the combined registration of
Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas,
South Dakota, North Dakota and
Montana.

A Splendid School System

Mansfield has just cause to
feel proud of her splendid school
system and of the good work it
is accomplishing. The teachers
have done most excellent work
and the fact that all who would
accept unemployment were re
employed is ample evidence of
their efficiency. We are sorry
to lose Miss Rippee as a teacher,
and she is doubtless one of the
best primary teachers to be
found anywhere. The Parent

ing next years work even more

The Crop Outlook

From nearly every section of
Missouri comes the optimistic
note of the crop outlook. In
certain sections some of the con
ditionS are not ideal-but the
soil, the weather and the worker
are all pulling together for ban
ner crops in 1913.
Wheat was SS.S per cent in the
first days of this month. and in
many neighb0rhoodS the cOndi-
tiOns have improved. In some
sections the HesSian fly is
threatening. In Wright county
the best information reaching
the Mirror is that 1913 will
reach bumper crop year.
j. B. Freeman, proprietor of
the Eagle Roller Mills, who is
probably the best informed man
in Mansfield on the subject, says
the wheat acreage for 1915 in
this vicinity is larger than any
previous years, and that the
prospects for II big crop are
better than they have been for
10 years. The IIesSian fly has
not troubled wheat here anI no
fear of damage is felt ON that ac-
count.
G. 5. Burney, the largest or
chardist in this section, reports
fruits of all kinds IN excellent |
condition, and unless a killing
frost occurs within the next 10
days bumper crop is assured.
With good wheat and fruit |
crops the OzarlsS look forward to |
prosperous times.
