grams given by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety was the one prepared by Mrs
J. B. Hendricks and Mrs. Josepl
Gerow last Friday evening. Mrs. W
+. Niede and Miss Elizabeth LAM
rendered two piano duets, The CARL
Ion and sSunfiower Dance" Mis-
Lank and Mrs. l.. L. Carlisle alst
played a beautiful duet. The gues
sp eaker for the evening was DR.
Frank Herson, pastor of the Metho.
dist Church of Milford. He began al
the very beginning when he was pre-
sented with a first class ticket to
London and granted leave of abb
sence by his congregation for a va
cation at the time of the coronation
in England. His experiences on
shipboard with new acquaintances
familiar with every detail of travel
by sea made it highly interesting and
worthwhile to him. His audience lis
tened with rapt attention as he re-
lated many incidents of the trip. He
saw the spot where the Titantic sank
known to seafaring people as THE
DEVILS Graveyard" Also in London
one of the saddest of sights the re-
suit of the World War. Armless, leg
less and sightless men. Some covered
with war medals, but human wrecks
living a life of suffering. He visited
the church and house of John Wes-
ley, a holy place and held as a sacred
shrine by Methodists everywhere.
When describing the pomp and cere-
mony of the royal procession attend
ing the coronation of the new king,
one could visualize the magnifcence
of these scenes, feel the thrill of the
surging multitude that stood as one
man in their unshaken loyalty to
their king and a royal pride OF coun-
try. This from an eyewitness was a
privilege and pleasure TO hear
about. An interesting visit TO Liver
pool where the slum problem is being
solved and the unsightly places are
being converted in beautiful garden
cities. A friendly visit to the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Dora Galloway of Mil
ford was enjoyed. The kind hospital
ity shown DR.. Herson was another of
the charming courtesies he so warm
ly appreciated. Crossing over into
The Emerald Isle he was reunited
with relatives and childhood friends
and enjoyed delightful visit there. /
These vivid descriptions given with |
the rare charm of a delightful con-
enabled one to exper-
ience vicariously through the imagi-
nation the incidents and scenes OF
this wonderful vacation.
