Bridal Dept. Opens
At Herman's; To
Haze COnsuItant

Much excitement marked the
dressing of Herman's display win
dow recently as the store parepar-
ed to announce the opening of a
department for brides.
Four handsome new mannequins
behaved with remarkable aplomb
as they were dressed, adjusted,
patted, moved, and placed in just
the right position to show off the
beautiful white gowns they wore.
Laces, tulles, nets, long and short
wells, high collars, modeshy low
necklines, mid-calf length and floor
sweeping hemlines - whatever
type of gown the bride-to-be de-
sires is here for her choosing.
Although the bride is still the
most important member of the
wedding party with some consid-
Grafton necessarily given to the
groom, Herman's has not neglect
ed to plan for flower girls, brides
maids and matrons of honor. All
these cln be suitably and beauti-
fully gowned at Herman's.
To help the bride-to-be plan for
this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, a
bridal consultant is available with
information and suggestions.
Another service which shows
consideration of the future brides
needs is the initiation of trous-
seau lay-away plan. She may
choose her lingerie, her at-hOme
wear, her travelling costume as
far in advance as she wishes.
Whether it be something new
and something blue, from the gar
ter to the wedding veil, the bride
to-be shopping at Hermans will
find all her needs and wishes CIV
en- special consideration.

Victory OF The
Spirit Theme
At Old Stone

The ministers of the First Metho.
dist Church, ]. Paul Touchton. has
announced that on Sunday morn
ing the sermon topic will be /:
Thank God For Victory. Mr.. Touch
ton will emphasize the fact that
true victory is not in the realm of
the physical but in the spirit with
in the person.
The ancient Hebrews, the most
grateful people of the ancient
world, were never great economi.
cally nor politically. They were a
great people in their gratitude to
the God, Jehovah, who was in the
thinking OF the Paslmist close to
them and in the prophets a very
pure God who demanded of his
followers that they too should be
righteous.
More convsnisnces
This nation, Mr.. Touchton insists.
has more than any people have
ever had in the matter Of conven-
fences but how grateful are we?
The permanence of our value to
ourselves and to others can be
measured in terms of our graft
tude to God for His Goodness.
On Sunday evening Mr.. Touch
ton will continue his study of the
Sermon on the Mount majoring on
the study of prayer. The evening
topic will be based on the demands
of Jesus that prayer be made from
the heart.

Praise the Lord, o Jerusalem -
Maunder. The evening anthem will
be: Praise ye the Father = Gou-
