FORD IOH.P. DE LUXE

Littlemore, Oct. 10.

FAMOUS preachers from nearby Oxford will next week speak from the pulpit of the little grey stone church here.

This church was the cradle of the ceremonial revival the Anglo-Catholic Movement in the Church of England.

It was built by John Henry Newman just 100 years ago, before he was converted to Roman Catholicism and became Cardinal Newman.

In Littlemore Church Newman preached to a weeping congregation his immortal ser- mon, "The Parling Friends."

A mystery about this hymn, has now been cleared up by the discovery of a letter, from New-

man.

In the "Hymnal Companion" is the fourth

verse:..

Meantime, along the narrow' path, ·

Thyself hast trad,

Lead, Saviour, lead me home in childlike faith,

Home to my God.

APPEAL FOR £30,000

A world-wide appeal for £30,000 to restore the church and build new schools is to be launched shortly.

Near to the church are the long low cottages, known as Newman's College, which he used as a rudimentary monastery and in which (October 1845) he made his submission to Itome.

When Newman was collecting to build tho church he had still fresh in his mind the words of the hymn, "Lend, Kindly Light."

JOHN H. NEWMAN,

The composer of the fourth verse was Edward Henry Bickersteth, who became Bishop of Exeter, and wrote "Peace, Perfect Peace."

The English 10 H.P. "De Luxe" is replete with Features and refinements contributing generously to ease and passenger comfort. The unusual body room is a feature that will appeal to you. Passengers have plenty of elbow space as well as liberal head room and leg room-the tallest person is not cramped. Streamlined bodywork and the forward position of the engine enable more of the car's width and length to be used by passengers-that is why this 10 H.P. is unusually spacious.

The "De Luxe Ford combines with comfort a degree of safety seldom found in most expensive cars. Brakes are powerful, simple in construction, and positive and certain in action. Ford genuine steel body- work affords the protection of armour for all occupants-electrically welded into one piece, it is the sturdiest style of bodywork known. There is also "Centre-poise" riding, which supplies safety as well as comfort-good road-holding, precise steering. Every component is a product of precision engineering, used .only after passing scores of scientific tests.

Thousands of motorists have testified to the supreme satisfaction to be obtained from the 10 H.P. Ford, It is inexpensive to buy and most economical to operate,
