Arnold Brings Cheering Message to Sheltering Arms—Park Church Youna People Sing—Dgle- gates Appointed — Milk Producers Shipping to New London Dairy Co. | The service at the Sheltering Arms {sunday afternoon was in charge of Rev. H. T. Arnold. He read from the efghth chapter of Romans, beginning at the 26th verse. Taking this serip- ture for his subject he sai God in His thousht for us has a re- {sult in view and he takes the m-ans to accomplish this. The result at which he aims is that each one shall be a child of God, that in_us shall be {found the likeness of the Son of God, a spirit of consecration to the highest lends, an carnest purpose to serve our {God. We are aflicted because God takes this way to bring us to our in- heritance, our desired home in heaven. Sometl of glory shines out in the Christian _life for the divine method is to make happy every child of God and to_bring us and te world to Hi self. a grant this in His own time and way.

May is the month for the coming of the warbler family: some of them are in migration. The blackpoll, the myrtle, the yvellow warbler, and the redstart also @ member of that fam- ily, have been in the trees near Ho: pital corner for days. The myrtle warbler is first to arrive in tre #pring and last to leave in the au tumn. Tt fits about so_restlessly that it is hard to identify. The vellow warbler or summer yellowbird ‘is like summer and_sunshine in color and disposition. We hear its sweet happy song until the end of July and catch glimpses of it almost everywhere. It is a clever bhird, toc, for when the cowbird leaves-its egg in hér nest she builds a new bottom, sealing up that egg and depositing her own. Ship Milk to New Landen.
