METHODIST CHURTH Despite the exceedingly warm weather of last Sunday the church services were well attended and peo ple found them very helpful. In the morning. Pastor Everett A. Burnes spoke on \Prayer—Its C.aim and Its Iteniands in Our Crisis,\ and in the evening the subject, “My Shadow,\ was verv practical in character. One of the things causing some favorable comment was the brevity of the ser vice, lasting only one hour with the closing at 8.45 sharp. It makes sixty i minutes of inspiration and help. An other thing in favor is the cool auditorium, well ventilated and com fortable. The services this coming Sunday wili consist of a sermon by the minister in the mornipg on “The Message of the Hand,\’ and some of the really vital things represented in the hand will be given a spiritual meaning. In the evening a happy | hour service wilj be held and the sub- ; ject will be \Opened Windows,” what they mean and what happens when we perform this very ordinary act of life. Ad the people who do not attend ! any other church will be most cor dially welcome here. In our planning 1 for the week let us not forget our | engagement for Wednesday night. BAPTIST CHURCH Th£ Baptist Church has secured for its new pastor Rev. J. L. Hynes of Cornwall, N. Y. The services will be held as usual on Sunday.

The improvement was effect ed through Supervisor Hiram R. Smith, to whom residents are grate ful. It is hoped that the county au thorities will place a traffic officer at the intersection of the avenue with Merrick mad, as five highway points come together. Automobile traffic is h e a v y and dangerous at these points and some had collisions have occurred there and narrow escapes have been experienced. Travel to churches and the public schools is extensive along Grand ave- nu<i and the Merrick road, which makes the necessity for traffic regu lation fnore necessary than under or dinary circumstances. “The Bazaar at Baldwin Corners\ will be given by the Epworth League of the M.
