Communion service was conducted at the
East Pearl street NJ. E. church yesterday
morning and one person was received into
Rev. A. q. Goodenough, the
pastor, ofdciated morning and evening. In
The evening the pastors topic was "Man'a
Obligation to his Brother" and the text, II
Am debtor both to the Greeks and to the bar
barians; both to the wise and to the un-
WISE"
In the course of his sermon the preacher
said: To say We are dependent creatures is
simply to utter truism. Each day We are
pensioners on the bounty of another. We
extol what We call a manly Independence. A
human parasite we despise. The people who
hook their burdens on to other shoulders
that they may loaf at leisure are not worthy
Of your confidence. The man who does his
his color, or country, or religion, We respect
and honor. Be independent Be q mani But
do not forget that most Of what we are and
what we have is the gift of another. II am
debtor to the wise and the unwiss."
We have q form of government Of which
We are proud; Q Christian republic which has
developed high and noble civilization. We
have flag, flag which every nation re-
spects; flag which means protection OF per-
n,,I tVy IN nj n m
in any part Of the globe. How did we get
thesei Did we work for them, make them'
No; they are the gift of another. All the ages
of the past, all the nations of the earth, have
contributed their quota to make us and our
country what we are.
We have a system of education of which
we need not be ashamed. The public school
educates a boy or girl sufficient for all ordina-
ry business purposes. The public school is
not only factor In society, but great bene.
factor to all our people. What Is The chief
ton to the school teachers, fact we often
forget. The school teachers, as . class, are
overworked and underpaid. The people who
do the difficult work of training and devel.
opipg the heart and life never get an ade.
quate pay. It is vital question to US and
to the country, and to the church who
teaches our children. If 1t must be ladies,
and I have no objection, then let us have
young women of the highest type, who will
not only teach geography and fractions, but
will instill into young minds noble thoughts,
grand purpose, lofty aspirations, then res
member the debt of gratitude you owe them.
We have church. The church is the
pift of another. Read the history of the
church. Read Foxes book of martyrs and Of
the early Puritans and the early Methodists
and you will say IT am debtor both to the
Greeks and barbarians."
What does this meant It means we owe
duty to the future. Our civilization must bs
raised still higher. Our public school must
II the true heroic 10 in our veins we shall
undertake the needed reform and carry them
to success. What we need more than any
thing else IL a leader, like Gladstone II
England; leader who shall unite and rally
the forces of the good and true that the gooG
of to-day may become the better of 10 NOR
row, and the better lead on to the best, that
our Lord and Christ may be all in all.
