DIR. Conwell Thinks They Are
Cognizant of Our Acts and
Thoughts.

Philadelphia, Dec. 24-'1 trust WE are
upon the borderland of great discoveries, "
said the Rev. DIR. Russell Ii. Conwell,
president of Temple University, whose
state ment that he had held verbal com
munication with the spirit Of his wife has
attracted countrywide attention and in
terest.
'"There is no doubt in my mind that we
live surrounded by an invisible world OF
spirits. They are cognizant of our acts
and thoughts and can under certain con-
ditions communicate with us They are
the encompassing cloud of witnesses To
which Paul refers
DR.. Conwell said that at no time prior
to the appearance of his spirit visitor had
the possibility Of such thing entered his
mind. The unexpected time and charac-
ter of the visits, their frequency and the
subject of the communications disposes, TO
DIR. Conwells mind. of any assumption

Made $3.50 Miles In 81 Hours
p Minutes Driving Time

The Essex was put on the speedway to
prove its reliability in flfty-hour test.
At the end of q hours, SIS minutes, and in
the 1790th mile, ram and sieet forced a stop.
A second start was made three days later,
but snow again ended the trial. This time
the run lasted 10 hours, 25 minutes ard COW
cred 1912 miles. The third fun, starting the
following day, was successful, the lifty-hour
period beng completed.
Thus the proof of Essex endurance is even
greater than that expressed in the fifty-hour
run. Think what that means. The average
car is driven little more than 5000 miles in the
entire season. But this stock Essex chassis
went more than a mile minute for $50

Each hour the church bell wakes the listening air
And speaks remembrance, comfort, warming prayer
The bell strikes one-"O God one God thou arti
Help me to serve Thee with a single heart"
The bell strikes two'"Two natures, Lord are Thine
Make Thou human more divine
The bell strikes thrce"I worship God above
Threc-f in deepest life, but one in love"
The bell strikes four-"I thank Thee gracious Lord
For the four Gospels of Thy blessed Word"
The bell strikes ive-"T reverence with awe
The five great books of Moses and the Law"
The bell strikes six-"Sx days of labor minc
Yet every workday Is day divine"
The bell strikes seven-"The perfect number seven,
The pearl OF days to lead my thoughts to Heaven"
The bell strikes eight-"Our Lords Beatitudes
Number full eight. Teach their heavenly moods
The bell strikes nine-"Take warning from the nine
Who gave words of thanks for help divine"
The bell strikes ten-"O Wisdom from above,

Doesn't t 1t Settle the
Light Car Question

Light weight IN an automobile has meant
principally moderate price and perhaps gaso-
line and tire economy. There was enough
speed and power TO get about. but none that
gave distinction on the road. FineneSS and
performance were not expected
But the Essex brought fine car quality TO
the light car field. Its appearance gave It
immediate distinction. It's performance
placed II in the large, costly car class, Only
in size, cost and economy Of gasoline, oil and
tires was it compared to cars IN the moderats
price field.
Is it any wonder that motorists have
praised the Essex as they have ? It gave
them just what they had wanted. Ii was
the way by which they could keep their motor
ing costs down and still have a car that filled
their demands in performance, appearance
and endurance.

 Acquainted as he is with all ques- nroyement and relief because of ile aature of his work and office, Dr. Far rand's endorsement is based upon an expert knowledge of what the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association has ac' complished and will accomplish i'll the future. His letter to Dr. Charles J. Hatfield. Managing Director of the Mi tional Tuberculosis Association, fol lows:
 "I have been greatly interested in the plans that the National Tubercule- sis Association Is making for the sale of Christmas Seals during the coming holiday season. The success Of that effort Is indispensable 10 the carrying out of the farreaching plans of the Association in its fight against tuber cuiosts fin this country.
 "The American people. in common with the nations of Europe, are be- coming aroused to the critical hmpor- tance of the problem of vitality and conservation of health as the neces- ; sary factor in re-eStablislling the i world after the devaStati0n and de struction caused by the war. Of all the preventabie diseases, tuberculosis takes perhaps the. first place in itnpoT- tance. For tliaf. reason view@with keenest sympathy and approval the splendid work which the National Tu' berculosfs Association is conducting, and l trust that the response OfNtlie American people In the Christmas Se$I Campaign swill be generous and uniseE sal.
