A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Psa I'm 119: 33,73.77 --
Teach me, o Lord, the way of thy

Become conscious for a single mo-
ment that Life and intelligence are
purely. spiritual-neither in nor of
the body will then utter
no complaints. II suffering from a
belief In sickness, you will find your
self suddenly well. Sorrow is turned
INTO Joy when the body is controlled
BY spiritual Life, Truth, and Love. |

tric refrigeratOrs, electric ranges
and electric water hearters. o. H.
Bach, local Frigidaire appliance
dealer, reports that he witnessed a
preview and demonstration OF new
models at meeting held recently at
the Penn A. c. in Philadelphia.
! Improvements that are actually
sensational have bee incorporated
in Frigidaire appliances this year
with the result that they offer ad-
vantIges never before available.
When models are received for pub
lie inspection here, am confident
they will create immediate interest
because of their obvious ability 10
supply new forms of service in re-
frigeratiOn, cooking and water heat
ing.
Satisfaction for the user is the
object of constant study by a large
stan OF Frigidaire engineers and
technicians who for 1870 models
have brought about a refinement OF
features unparalleled in Frigidaire
history.
~. eAuuptes new cOuVeuienceS
and adaptability to every good keep

Of 1910 Frigidaire electric refriger-
ators. Exceptional ease 10 every
phase Of cooking also Is an inno-
Walton that will rate high with the
users Of the 1880 Ffleidaire electric
range. Every Improvement is a fun
