i3 POST FENCE
New Haven Road Ereets Safeguard to
 Auto Drivers

Monday morning employees of the \. Y. Y. II. & H. Railroad Company began the erection of a fence along the west side of the railroad station platform opposite the old Chiekering house. Tuesday morning the fence was completed A superstitious gen tleman immediately discovered that the fence had thirteen posts.
 For some time past automobile drivers have been using the private way east of the Chickering house block to drive into and turn around in. In making the turn they come very close to the west bound track of the railroad Company officials considered this q dangerous practice and. through The Patriot, warning against the custom was given. No heed was taken of the warning and the result is the present fence.
 There are thirteen substantial ground. Running the length Of the fence. which extends from the Put nam News Company to the Front Street bridge, is a rail made from n three inch cast iron pipe. Auto mobiles that run against this guard to the railroad tracks Will be taken away for repairs The fence will stand any ordinary onslaught from any ordinary vehicle.
 The railroad company at first sng- gested that the way might be closed entirely. This has not been done. Drivers may still enter the apace be- tween the sidewalk and the fence and they still have as much room to turn around in as they did before, providing that they turned in safety ana did not back up to the railroad

The Temptation

Read Matt. 4:1-l1. Text: Heb.
4:15. One that hath been in all
points tempted like as we are.
yet without sin.
Medit tation-Jesus knows what is in
! man because he has lived man S
life and this first hand knowledge
Of human life qualified him to save
men. The descent of the Holy
Spirit at Jesus baptism finally and
vividly testified to his divine mis-
sion. Immediately after this ex-
perience canre the tempter's voice:
IF thou art the Son of God" This
was calculated to throw doubt
upon his heavenly vision.
He refused the suggestion that he
demonstrate his power to satisfy the
craving of the flesh, or make spec
tacular display before the people, or
take an unworthy way to success.
He endured temptation and demon
strated his capacity to overcome the
appeal Of evil and his right to the
moral leadership Of mankind.
Prayer-O thou Savior of the World,
redeem US from sin. Make us
overcomers. able to endure TIC dis
j ciplines Of temptation. Keep us
strong Of will, knowing that God
will not suffer US to be tempted
shove what we are able to bear.
Amen.
