H. FORD INJURED IN FLIVVER WRECK 11 Auto Manufacturer Hurt In Accident While Driving One Os His Own Cars Detroit, Mar. 30 —(United Press) — Henry Ford was taken last night to the Henry Ford hospital in Detroit, where he is now being treated for injuries sustained Sunday night when a Ford coupe driven by himself was forced off the south drive of Michigan Avenue a few feet fifom the Rouge river bridge near Detroit. The car plunged down a steep embankment, striking a tree, and Ford was rendered unconscious. He recovered consciousness and walked a short distance to where he met the gatekeeper of his estate, who summoned Mrs. Ford and the two took Ford to his home. News of the accident was withheld, but last night it was found necessary to remove him in an ambulance to the hospital. •'There has been a minor operation,” a formal statement said. ‘‘Mr. Ford strongly deprecates the suggestion that the accident was the result of intent on anyone's part,” his associates insisted. At 12:30 o’clock today Ford was pronounced resting easily with no serious complications expected. Ford was driving alone. He had gone to his Dearborn office alone and only a watchman had been on duty while he was there. Only the keeper of his private garage and Mrs. Ford knew he was absent from his house until the gatekeeper came with word of the accident. Associates said Ford had developed i habit of going alone at all hours of the day and night, causing them great concern for his safety, and all their cou isel against it had been of no avail.

[“SOD'S HOUSE" IS DESCRIBED Evangelist Preaches Powerful Sermon At Church Os God Revival Evangelist Rimmer delivered another powerful sermon to a good sized , crowd at the Church of God revival last evening. His subject was "God's ! House.” The following are a few remarks from his discourse:

"God's houes is a shelter in time of storm, a refuge in time of trouble. < "The foundation which was an ex- 1 pensive foundation is Jesus Christ, t He was thoroughly tried and tested I when a babe. When He was crucified t and buried he arose victor over death 1 and the grave. • 1 "Every piece of material in God's 1 [house is spiritual. “Salvation is our protection. "God is over His childreti, underneath and all around them. "He is the foundation, the covering, the walls and the door. "You can’t get through without entering the proper way. You must enter In through the door which is Jesus Christ, it is the way or door of repentance. "Jesus says he that cometh to- me 1 will in no wise cast out. Sinner friend there is room in God's house for you. Food and plenty to spare." Miss Harriet Davis, of Willshire, Ohio, will be the speaker at Thursday evening's service. Friday evening, Mr. Rimmer will speak on "The Gospel Day." Greatei blessings are in store for those who attend the few remaining services of this campaign. This evenings service will begin at 7:30 o'clock. The entire public is welcomed to attend.

SURE WAY TO STOP NIGHT COUGHING A Treatment That Ends Night Coughs in 15 Minutes Persistent night coughing is usually due to causes which cough syrups and patent medicines do not touch. A remarkable prescription known as , j'hoxine, working on an entirely different principle, goes direct to the cause, and is guaranteed to slop the Islubbornest cough within 15 minutes One swallow is all that's needed. If it fails, get your money hack. No chloroform or other harmful drugs. Safe for children. Equally I good for sore throat for which purpose it is ffir superior to gargles. 35c, 60c and SI.OO.

FOURTH LENTEN SERMON GIVEN J (CONTINUED FHOM P.4GB ONB) < pressed by any thought of eternity or ' the consideration of things eternal, j But there is scarcely anyone who is not impressed by the thought of the i lust moment on earth, a moment upon which depends a huppy or an un- : happy eternity. We know the parable of the Lord about the wise and foolish virgins. They went forth to meet the bridegroom. The foolish virgins took their lumps but carelessly forgot the oil. The wise virgins provided oil for their lamps. They are symbolic of the zealous Christian who feeds the light of faith with the oil of good works. The foolish signify sinners who wish to be favored by the bridegroom, and yet neglect the oil of good works. At midnight the cry was made. “Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him.” The bridegroom Is the Judge, Jesus Christ, who comes for particular judgement, at the moment of death. When will come we know not —but we do know that He will come some day sooner or later. Listen therefore with attention to the cry of the Gospels announcing the advent of the Judge at the end of your life. God grant that you may be ready when the call comes. "What will you think of the vanity of this world when, at the last moment, your eyes will be opened and you are about to cross the threshold of eternity? What will all the things of the world avail you then? Can they protect you from the just wrath of the Divine Judge? If at that critical moment yoh are not in the state of sanctifying grace, all the wealth , and wisdom of the world will not avail you. “How will the sensual pleasures of the world, that once fascinated your heart appear to you when your eye rests upon the land of eternity? Yon will be as a man awakened from a dream. The Psalmist says, "As the dream of them that awake O Lord, so in thy city thou shalt bring their , image to nothing." The impression , of a dream is so deep upon the sleepbr, but it vanishes when sleep is past. And so it will be with you, O , sinner, at. the last moment of your life if you now give yourself up to I the vain dreams of sensuality. “And the jabors and afflictions of life, how will they appear when you 3 are standing on the brink of eternity? How trivial indeed are they? If you carry your crosses for the love of God, you will justly wonder that i i Wife Takes Vinol Feels Fine Now , “I was weak and had no strength. Since taking Vinol, I feel fine now and do my work again.”—Mrs. G. s Barnesberger. The very FIRST r week you take Vinol, you begin to feel stronger, eati and sleep better. Vinol ils a simple, strengthening ‘ iron and cod liver compound in use 1 tor over 25-by weak, ueivous . women, run-down men and sickly children. Contains no oil —pleasant to take.

the good God rewards so little suf-, sering with eternal joy. Hut if in, your life you have shunned crosses of penance and suffering, your conscience will bitterly reproach you, that to avoid a little suffering you have forfeited such great happiness. “Let this therefore be a warning to us to despise the vanities of the world. The consideration of the last moment upon which eternity depends, should incite us to a holy zeal in employing well the time of our life. "What then have you done in preparing for that great, moment upon which your eternity depends? How have you spent your I'fe? You know not when your time will expire. How can you affod to bo careless? How can you go on living in sin? Where is your faith, your reason, your common sense, if you do not employ the term of your life in preparation for you. - death?

I Proves a “Lubricant Marvel” Men are amazed at the results they get from the new motor oil, Iso = Vis. Thousands of letters, like the one below, voluntarily written to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), praise this new product. “Tolerton and Warfield Co. Wholesale Grocers Sioux City, lowa. “Standard Oil Company, Sioux City, lowa. Gentlemen: “I have been so profoundly impressed with the superior qualities of Iso = Vis as a cold weather lubricant that I am pleased to drop you a few lines in commendation of the new lubricant marvel. Have been using Iso = Vis throughout my Buick 48 and at 12 below zero had not the slightest difficulty with the lubricated parts of my car. “I certainly hope that your success with Iso = Vis is 100%, as it has served me 100% and fulfilled a long-needed want. Sincerely yours. (Jan. 8, 1927) J. E. Packer” Iso = Vis “fulfills a long-needed want” by solving the old problem of dilution. It maintains constant viscosity — never thins out — always lubricates efficiently! Try Iso = Vis—and you’ll praise it, too! 30 cents per quart is a trifle higher price than for ordinary oil —but the cost per mile is a whole lot lower! , Iso = Vis “F” for Fords.
