and Mrs. T. Vittie gave a very helpful
and inspiring paper on the same topic.
She said in brief “Two forms of fear
occur throughout our career, life fear
and death fear._ Between these two
fears we are thrown back and forth
all our life. We should be able to say
no fear can touch me for God dwells
in me and encircles me. There is no
fear in love, but perfect love casteth
out fear. Surrender your fears to God.
Meet the fears and anxieties of life
one day at a time. Life by the yard
is hard; life by the inch is a cinch.
Accept the Holy Spirit within you as
the source o^your .peace and power,”

thanks from the Rev. and Mrs. de

Chevrolet value — for Chevrolet stands unchallenged in al!
the important advantages of modern motor travel. Visit your
local Chevrolet dealer and see how this is the one car that will
exactly fit your family’s needs — and your family’s budget.
The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, September Sth, 1954 Page Sevan
• • • i
Compare Chevrolet economy. Ask yourself: “What’s the car’s
reputation ? How is it on gas ? On oil ? On service ?” It stands to
reason that the car with the highest reputation in these vital
ways would be in greatest demand .. . and Chevrolet has been
first in demand — first in sales — for over two decades.
• • •
We leave this up to you. Visit your local Chevrolet dealer and
Road-Test Chevrolet’s smooth and instant response. Test it in
the traffic, on the highway, on steep hills. You’ll agree that
high compression, valve-in-head power can’t be beaten — and
only Chevrolet has it in the low priced field.
• « •
Let your own eyes tell you about Chevrolet’s fine car beauty.
And remember! Underneath that gleaming finish and sweep
ing style is famous Body by Fisher. That’s your guarantee not
only of lasting good looks, but of greater comfort, safety, and
quality, also. See Chevrolet at your local dealer’s today.
