With the com- ing of the automobile, she with characteristic quaintness, persisted in making her way to her church afoot, though offers for a friendly lift were a plenty, AH advances, however, brought the saine amusing and facetious comment "I prefer to die a natural death." As her friends of more tender years one by one ac- quired a family car, it became less easy to resist these proffered lifts. So one day, supposedly unknown to any of her immediate family, she consented to be shown the comforts of an automobile. She actually arrived at her church steps without bodily injury! She had peeped into Pandora's Box. She pronounced the experience good. She had been converted-- to the place the auto had come to occupy with relation to her church life. There are many other timid grandmas in our midst. Their timidity possibly taking the form of hesitancy in asking for the lift that bespeaks unbroken church attend- ance. If you are a tired mother inwardly craving the re- consecration found in an hour of song and sermon, who would go to your church but. for the physical effort en- tailed, we ministerswant to know it. Or if your children would be i£Har~Sunday School class were it possible to get them there speedily and safely,: let us have some of our Sunday School workers run their car to your door. We ministers want the friendly spirit, so much a part of our Wilmette life, to be used for the Master even more abundantly. The Modern Samaritan recognizes his automobile as an instrtiment.for the furthering of The Kingdom. He is ready to help you. ^ Rev. George P. Magill, Wilmette 1898. The First Presbyterian Church.
