After dinner Dr. Speight with his daughter Agnes drove Mr. Eborn, Miss Sarah Eborn and me in his automobile to Creswell, a beautiful and inspiring ride. This is the second travel this fall by automobile: times are progressing, and we must progress with them. We had a hearty service that night in Creswell, led by the good surpliced choir, which Miss Sarah Eborn, with patience and skill, has been training for the past five years. Miss Sarah and her guild of about ten young ladies are buying, by their own efforts, an organ costing $800.00. They deserve praise for their pluck and energy.
