and Immediately there was a real
ovation as he walked down the aisle
to the stage. Practically every one
in the hall rose and stood until the
governor was seated.
Next demonstration came when
Congressman Lindsay Warren first
mentioned the governors name dur
ing his keynote speech. Again the
,rafters (figurative) of the auditorium
rang as the delegates stamped clap
ped their hands, whistled and made
other cheerful noises
The final test came when the gov
ernor spoke briefly after the keynote
had been struck and before the con-
vention recessed for lunch. Again
the proof of popularity was over
whelming.
Other names and personages were
applauded, with obvious sincerity and
spirit, but not even mention of Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt produced
the same enthusiastic response;
though the delegates were quite
clearly almost unanimously of a
mind to pay tribute to the chief of
the New Deal and the nation.

REPENTANCE TOPIC
SERMON THURSDAY
Large Congregation Hears
Rev. Mr.. Neese in Even
ing Service

The Church and Sunday school audi
forum were practically filled again
last evening to hear Rev. J. L. Neese
bring message to those present at
the Christian church, using as his
subject, Repentance, What it is and
What it is Not" Mr.. Neese said in
part, TOO many people are confused
over the word repentance. Some con-
slider it one thing and some another.
Tonight we are going to consider it in
the light of the gospel of Christ" Mr.
Neese reversed his text and began his
message with the thought what re-
pentance is not" He said, Repent
ance is not fear Some people become
afraid they are going to die and
promise many things It is seldom,
however, they ever keep their promis-
es. Repentance. is not feeling. You
may feel sorry for your sin, but un-
lss you change your heart you have
not experienced repentance. Repent
ance is not conviction; it is not pray
ing. Repentance is not breaking off
one sin and retaining others"
He then said, There are three es-
sentials to repentance: First, god!v
sorrow for sin. II Cor. go Second,
confession Of sin. Not to the preach
er, not to the congregation, but to
God. Third, change of mind, heart,
and purposes. Repentance is a COM
plete turnover in ones life After the
message, Mr.. Neese gave the altar
call and eighteen young people and
adults came to an alter of prayer.
The morning service today had the
largest attendance of any morning ser
vice yet held, and many testimonies
were given.

HITCH.HIKING
THE MAIL

- RlpIE your temper if that inCom-
ing check or the answer from
- the only one is delayed day
or SO in the mails In contrast with the
mails of yesteryear you are receiving
almost instantaneous service.
For some fifty years after the land
ing of the Pilgrims. correspondents
were obliged to rely on special mes
sengers. travellers OF peddlerS for the
delivery of their letters.
1t was in 1873 that the first govern
ment mail service was lnaugurated
between New York and Boston. a
round trip always consumed the
greater part of a month. The carrier
rode horseback and his load consisted
of two large leather bags stuffed with
letters and packages. His duties were
considerably more varied than those
of the modern postman. Some of his
obligations were to report on the con-
ditionS of roads, ferries and bridges,
and to be amiable and helpful to
travellers he met en- route The arrival
of the post rider, rich with gossip gar
nered along the road. was a much
awaited event in the lives of the
townspeople
Up until 1890 the mail between
New York and Albany was carried by
foot post The carrier Travelled along
the banks of the Hudson River. If he
happened to be lucky in "thumbing'
a ride he covered a few miles of his
long journey in some small and not
too certain river craft. Sometimes in
winter he could skate a part of the
distance.
As late as 1850 there were less than
ten mails year between Philadelphia
and towns along the Potomac.
The entire service was most lrregu-
lar and uncertain, for the carriers
would not start out until enough let
ters and packages had accumulated to
cover expenses and to make their
trips worth while 1t was not until
that genius and master organizer, Ben
Franklin. became postal commissioned
that regular, dependable mail service
was instituted
