There's . lot n emotion be-

thought. -But it's bottled up. And
that's bad"
Well. Millicent would give her
dance and Peter would see Ann I'm

bought. Ann had been beautiful
with her bronze hair drawn back
from her face. fitting her small
head like a bright crown. And the
lines or the frock were truly En-

her slim young figure. Maybe
Peter would wake up when he saw
Ann dancing in that white dress-

REVEALS CONTINUE

The revival meetings, which have
been going on in Houston during the
past two weeks have been well at
tended. Many people from other
towns have been coming to hear DR..
Dershen, who breaches Gods Holy
word as it is written without loop
holes for hyprocrites or piOus sim
ners. A great work has been begun
in that town, and a fame has been
started that promises to sweep the
entire State with the fire of Jesus
Christ's love and pardon for repen-
tent sinners.
This Saturday afternoon at 3 p. m.
in the church, DIR. Dershen will give
a lecture to women only, all must
be IA years of age or older. On Sun
day afternoon at the same time the
doctor will deliver a lecture to men
only, all of whom must be over 16
years OF age. Young men between
16 and Is years should come with
their fathers. Subject. THE Garden
OF Eden.' DR.. Dershen with his
years of experience as a doctor and
as an evangelist is perfectly compe-
tent to handle these delicate topics,
and his message will be both help
full and inspiring.
The invitation is again extended
to all to come and hear DR.. Dershen
and his message of Gods love and
forgiveness. Do not put off repenting
another day, but come and offer
your life to Jesus Christ. For al
though your sins be as scarlet, he
will wash them white as snow. If !
your burden seems heavy and the
way dark and hard. let God be your |
guide; let Him alleviate your ang- !
uish of spirit. The Lord works a
wondrous way His miracles to per-
form. and it is a certainty that He
has been working miracles among
the folk of Houston: and He will do I
the same for yOu-if you will only !
forget your false pride and humbly !
confess Jesus Christ as your per-
sOnaI Saviour.

MRS. D. W. PHILLIPS GIVING
WEEKLY TALKS IN MILFORD

In order TO bring to Milford some
thing out OF the ordinary daily hap
penings, Mrs. Dorothy Waldo Phil
lips, of Lansdowne, Pa, has been
asked to give weekly talks and dis
cussiOns for the next several weeks.
The first one of these meetings was
held at the Caulk Auditorium on
Tuesday evening. At that time. Mrs.
Phillips, whose ability is unques-
toned. gave a part of her time to
talk on child psychology, part to
personal development and closed the
program with readings of poems and
prose, delightfully."- presented. At the
same place on Tuesday evening of
next week, another such meeting
will be held for an adult group.
These group gatherings are being
sponsored by several Milford resi-
dents, who have heard Mrs. Phillips
and know the value of the work and
entertainment which she can bring.
II has been decided to have an open
meeting next week, so that the pub
lie can enjoy a program devoted to
readings and representations by Mrs.
Phillips who is most talented in that
field of work. The program will be
followed by a short question and
answer period, dealing with child
ren-bOy-girl-parent problems. This
would involve follow Pup discussions
at each successive meetings on var
ious phases of child and parent psy-
chOlOgy, such as how to meet intOl-
erance, developing respect for par
ents and teachers, manners, cour- :
tesy. right attitude toward parents, I,
keener sense of good values. self /
control. appreciation and many /
other qualities that sometimes both I
er parents. II is the work of the 4
to see that there is an
audience. Mrs. Phillips does the
rest. So entertaining is her program,
so vital is her message that the
adults are just like the children IN
her speech and drama classes. They

iitorium, so graciously loaned by
rhe L. d. Caulk Company. is on the
irst floor of the building. the near
,st to the railroad The meeting will
tart at 8:15. Come and bring some

york of Mrs Phillips may be gain
d today by listening to her broad

ives her "F'riend of Youth" pro-

1884 TIPs FOR DRIVERS

As 1888 ended, early reports indi
cate that there was an increase il
motor vehicle fatalities and injuries
over 1882 in spite of the fact thai
fewer cars we're operating during
the year. The last quarter was espe-
eially bad.
Predictions are that fatalities will
approach 10000 and injuries, 1,O00,-
900. This is a record that certainly
should not be repeated.
A set Of New Years resolutions
for the motorist, prepared by the
National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters. is a good start
ing point for a safe 1884:
1. Drive at speeds suited to traf-
flc conditions; slowly, in the city.
moderately, on the open highway.
2. Use better judgment in pass
ing. Wait until there is 500 feet of
clear distance ahead before attempt
ing to maneuver.
3. Slow down al intersections.
4. Obey traffic signals.
s. Watch out for pedestrians.
These are the five most neglected
rules Of the road. Obedience to them
would have saved a majority OF the
lives and limbs lost during 1888. Re
member them in 1894

Slippery Roads Are Not
Yet OUer This Winter

Slippery roads are not yet over
this winter and although great
many accidents have recently been
reported, most of them could have
been avoided by careful driving, ac-
cording to c. c. Reynolds. Superin-
tendent of State Police. Maintenance
crews will sand or cinder slippery
places as far as possible, giving at
tention first to curves, hills, and in
tersections, but usually sleet and
. frost come so quickly and cover so
much territory that il is physically
impossible TO sand or cinder all of
these dangerous places. The only
remedy is careful driving. When
roads are slippery the first safety
rule is to so slowly. Caution should
be used on curves and at intersec-
tions, and when meeting or passing
other cars. Slippery spots create
dangers for speeding drivers and the
only safe way is to keep the car
under control.
