Bray, one of the oldest liviny Methodist ministers, will preach Sunday morning at the “Old Folks' Service” at the Methodist church. Rev. Mr. Bray was born in Bridgeport, October 23d, 1830.

Since that time Mr. Bray has seen some strik- ing changes in means of transporta- tion. Today, as he nears his 9lst birthday, such changes are only in- stances of the many great contrasts since he became associated with the church in 1858, during the more than three decades of his ministry. When a young man he worked in a paper mill for $1 a day.

We will take you straight to the King's hotel. You are a lucky dog to be driving a king.” Then walking back a couple of stens to the window of the limousine and coming rigidly to attention, the detec- tive saluted the occupant who return- 4 the salute. “You are a lucky man to be driving a king,” said the driver of the King's car over his shoulder to the man in the_limousine.
