The site of Gaza, in Palestine, has
been hallowed by the passing of near

and while "the way that goeth down
from Jerusalem unto Gaza" may
have seemed a considerable journey
to Philip. Gaza is"but a little farther
to the southwest of Jerusalem than
Salem is from Albany.
Residents of Gaza will show the
visitor Samson's tomb. The tradi
tion of his burial there is unfoand

the south of the city is the hill "be

Why We Chose
Sandow Trucks
THERE are some mighty good lru;k$ that don't bear the Sandow
Trade Mark. No denying that Our problem was more difficult be
cause of this. For our idea was tJ get a track that was not only equal
in every aspect to the recognized leaders but if possible more.
Investigation of the whole track field took us to Chicago. There we found that
the Sandow was immensely popular. Th) greatest industrial . firms, such as the
Standard Oil Company and Armour & Company, were using whole fleets of San
dows. " i

And teach us all glory is thine,

So faulty Is all our perfection.
Our strongest could never toil
through.
Unaided by heaven's protection.
The work we are given to do.
O God of the twilight and even,
O God of forgiveness and rest.
That givest a vision of heaven
In the glory serene in the west.
Before Thee our hearts make obei

And, though it be not understood.
ComA o'er us the subtle compla
cence .
Of trust In thy kind fatherhood.
And after the work-day Is ended.
When into the silence at last
We pass with lives broken or mend

As millions unnumbered have
passed.
We know it cannot be to sorrow
Where merciless justice debars.
But dream of a perfect tomorrow.

MOVIES IX CHUtCH.
Putting the movies Into the church
has in most cases resulted in bene
fit to- both. It has enlarged and
slightly changed the character of the
.attendance at the church and has
raised the quality of films used in
the theater. Furthermore the repu
tation of the church for begging
of always wanting something for
nothing is cleared.
People find the church without be
ing especially rged. to come and they
recognise an obligation to it while
they are there.
It is also recognized that the heart
and brain can be reached as effec
tively through ' the eye as by the
spoken word. Best of all is a com
bination of both, and movies inci
dent Jto the church service supply
this in its most efficient form.

We investigated the Sandow. We found
it point for point, the equal of any
truck in America, but having in addi
tion five vital, exclusive features that
no other truck has, nor can have. A
big advantage for the Sandow, we
thought.
We found that each of these five fea
tures was conceived with one definite
object economy of upkeep and main
tenance. The Sandow Motor Rocker
Block to illustrate: It prevents brok
en motor legs or crank cases. - And we
found that the Sandow was the only
truck in the world thus safeguarded.
No Sandow ever made had suffered a
broken motor leg or crank case from
torsional strains that break these parts
in ordinary' trucks. . A saving of hun
dreds of dollars made alcne by this one
Sandow invention and exclusive fea
ture. Yet there were four other equal
ly important and which effectively re
duced truck costs.
The most economical truck to own and
operate and maintain. That's what we
sought. That's why we chose the San
dow. That's why we recommend It to
you. That's why the Sandow will soon
be the most popular truck in this sec
tion. Come in and see the truck and
those five vital, exclusive featues.
