The great truth - tre-sed in this les
son was that ""the Lord seeth not as
man seeth, for man looketh at the
outward appearance, but the Lord
looketh on the heart." Mrs. P. < ■
Maynard was a good leader, and we
were glad to have Mrs. Rryson back
after ht r long absence.
Since our last n port, the Society
has enjoyed a most delightful! recep-
tion and kitchen shower. An excel-

this cheerful setting about fifty

been arranged for "42," and a number
of exciting games were played to the

We have . new 1 ense ( 1 ILLYI.R IJ'.N.SI.S) that clears
up the misty margins, the double circles near the rims, and
all the vagueness that limits thd effectiveness of ordinary
lenses.
It is this—they are specially ground and polished, by a
new process. They are free from mirmscopic ridges , nd pits
on the surface which make a constant demand upon the deli-
cate nerves of your eye.
It takes longer to finish them in this way. but the extra
time is worth it Professional men say they have never seen
sin h finely finished stirfai e; the pitiless eye of the microscope
clearly reveals the difference
So TIIJ.YI.R corrected full sight and fillyer surface give*
you such a lens as you never wore before—the nearest thing
science has-vet devis« c! to the sensation of wearing no glasses
at all, yet having your eyes comfortably, completely correct-
ed
It took 20 years of mathematics and endless skillful ex
perunent to perfect this lens.
Your prescription can be fillet! with I 11.1 A f K. I'nil
Sii'ht I enses promptly, whether you require a single vision
lens, or bifocals.
