Bridgeton.

The spirit of reform in Bridgeton is steadily
but surely working. The Y. o. c. Z. show
signs of increasing activity. The greatly en-
larged congregations, at their Sunday afternoon
meetings, indicate their growing power and use
fulness. The Citizens Association is also plan
ming for vigorous assault upon the power of
rum and darkness.
The Y. w. C. T. U. are earn estly pushing their
work forward. Their influence is being felt for
good and we predict bright future for them.
Last, but not least, we mention in this con-
nection the w. C. T. L. They appear to be the
same yesterday. to-day, &c. Last week they
spent an entire day praying for our city. Sev-
eral of the ministers visited and took part in the
services. These cody women are doing grand
work. All the above agencies are directing
their efforts in part or in whole, right along the
line of temperance, and with direct reference to
results upon our next municipal election.
There is much on the side of the good and a
corresponding uneasness in the ranks of our
opponents.
The Methodist Episcopal churches are all clos
ing up the conference ear pleasantly. Trinity.
under the leadership of Rev. Mr.. Zane, is finish
ing the work for the year nicely and harmon
iously, thus leaving the charge in good con-
dition to cordially welcome the new pastor
Rev. Mr.. Hancock, with his workers at Cen
trail, is having fine meetings with good results.
They are in perfect accord
Commerce Street. with Rev. Jesse Stiles as
pastor, is moving quietly. The officiary have
decided to advance the salary $500 for the COM
ing year. Onward is our motto in Bridgeton.

Already four thousand nine hundred and
forty -seyen names enrolled, and Woodstown and
several other places have not sent in all yet
While, no doubt, all have done as well as they
could I would like to mention three ladies as
particularly active. Hope they win forgive me,
but good example should not be lost. Mrs.
Cooper, of Millville, with 1861 names; Miss
George Woolman, of Woodstown, 635, and
Miss Ruth s. King, of Railway, who, although
she sent but 1913 names, displayed so much
earnestness in the work that she compelled ad-
miration.
1t should be borne in mind the churches, gen
orally, had only the names of officers Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church of Long Branch, for
instance, signed by pastor, stewards, etc. Dover
First Methodist Episcopal, had some other
names. From Mt Holly we received petition
from an African Methodist church, the only one
sent us in the state From Bordentown, three
or four churches with names of officers. Will
send report of petitions received hereafter.

delegation from the Reformed Mems Home
of Camden visited the Reform club meeting Fri
day evening of last week. The attendance was
small owing to the extra meetings being held in
the Baptist and Methodist Episcopal churches,
but those who were present enjoyed the gospel
temperance speeches by the visiting brethren.
Among the many things said, about those who
sell rum and those who drink the same, that in
stead of dressing rumsellers' wives and children
with fine, elegant and comfortable clothing that
they now take their hard-earned money home
that their own dear families might enjoy what
the rumseler's family did One of the gentle
men said that whenever landlord or barkeeper
of three-cent mill made his appearance with
his warm overcoat on he remembered he helped
to buy it for him. Will the time ever come when
men will refuse to accept the earnings OF the
poor in exchange for rum?
wonder if christians read that article in the
GAZETTE, some two or three weeks ago, regard
ing the cunning work of a rumseller, who is
trying to work his way into society by such de-
signs as indicated. Wonder why the poor
women, who stand over the wash tub in order to
support their children, because the money spent
by the father for rum, is not invited to these
parties, and the families of some of the signers
of the application are treated so unkindly, not
even the signers themselves receiving an invita-
ton. Why?
The Baptist and Methodist Episcopal churches
are holding meetings with some degree of sue
cess. Rev. j. J. Pierson will baptize quite a
number Sunday, February Sd. ***

Gloucester City.

Rev. John Hickman, of Camden, preached in
the Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday morn
ing last. His sermon from the words, " Without
controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, ;"
was remarkable, forcible and convincing one
on the divinity of Christ In the evening Rev. A.
K. Street, an old pastor, now of Camden, deliv-
cred a telling sermon from Hosea 9:S: How
shall give thee up?' In the revival service
which followed nearly score of penitents were
at the altar. Three persons joined the church
on probation at the close of the service. The
affairs were thonged during the meetings this
week, and number protested conversion. Rev.
George W. Powell preached on Wednesday
evening.
Rev. Thos.. "A Dickinson. rector of the Church
of the Ascension, this city, has received call to
the church of St. Barnabas, city of ST. Catherine,
Canada He will probably accept.
Evidences of the hasty and careless manner in
which parts of the water-works pipe system
were laid are showing themselves with unpleas-
ant frequency The last break reported occurred
in the main on Hudson street. only few lengths
of pipe distant from one that had just been
repaired.
Mrs. John NJ. Nield, of this city, was quite
seriously injured by fall upon the ice few
days ago. Mrs. Lafferty, wife of Councilmen
Lafferty, was also badly hurt by recent fall,
but is recovering from the effects.
City Assessor Jacob Edelbauer, who has been
lying in critical condition for sometime, the
result of hemorrhage, is slowly recovering.

The Methodist preacher and family were visited
last Friday by five carriage loads Of their friends
and former parishioners of Elmer, Salem county,
who brought with them loads of good things,
took possession of the parsonage, cooked and
spread a sumptuous meal and invited the occu-
pants to dine. The visit was purely social
one and passed off with much good cheer. The
host and hostess feel delighted in the compl-
ment of this friendly visit and expressions of
esteem from those whom they formerly served
in spiritual things. The visitors were accom-
panied by their pastors, Revs. Rogers and Con-
over. About dusk they returned homeward,
leaving our pastor and family with happy hearts,
and day long to be remembered
The Presbyterian Sunday school, under the
leadership of the energetic DR.. Thomas, part
ner and business manager of the glass-works
here, gave an entertainment on Wednesday
evening, the Both ult, for the benefit of its own
work. We hope they have netted good sum.
The protracted meeting of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, begun two weeks ago, is pro-
crossing with some interest and the pastor man
ifests determination to push the battle to the
gates. His objective point appears to be the
salvation of the young men. The great majority
of these are on the outside of the fold and it is
hoped this endeavor may be scccessful.
There is nothing new in the line of temper
ance. Things are tolerably quiet on all sides.
Perhaps little more stir in some way would be
benefit.
We are pleased with the GAzETTE-its thor
ough and live presentation of all phases of the
temperance question and general reading matter.

E. T. Scott speaks at Mullica Hill, Sunday
evening, February Sd in the Baptist church, I'M
der the auspices of the W. c. I. O., it being the

vile and adjoining villages win turn out. The
pastor of Broadway Methodist Episcopal church
at Salem offered his church to Maj or Scott for
the same date. He will probably speak there
at some other time soon.

Major Scott was invited to speak in Salem
on Sunday evening, February Sd, but had to

about temperance reform in our immediate

should meet with the hearty cooperation of
our entire community"

less, quite number displayed their skill
