AsHBURY PARK, Jan. 10. 1s9l.-Rev. S.
Edward Young, the pastor OF the West
minister Presbyterian Church of this
place, takes a great deal of interest in the
life-savers who, during storm and calm,
patrol the Jersey coast on the lookout for
vessels needing assistance. Mr.. Young
has organized a band of Christian work
ers, and religious services are now held
regularly every Sunday at the different
lfe-saving stations in this county.
the men in whom Mr.. Young is so
deeply interested find much TO complain
of Just now. They have been patiently
waiting for years to see a change in their
everyday lot, but the prospects are not
very encouraging. For four years they
nave been seeking from Congress some
material changes, which everybody cou-
cedes they ought to have. but do not
seem able to get.
HARDsHIPs OF H sURFMEN.
The surfmen who make the heroic res
cues from time to time along the coast OF
this country have hardships that are IN
known to the people who admire their
sacrifices and ceaseless watching for an
opportunity TO ave lives. They seek, aud
have sought for some time, an increase OF
salary. The guards have recently been
compelled to pay for a useless fair
MtdLlCl ALAAOALA Odb VI VIZ AA42oCAaDAC
pittance they'get from their work, which.
by the way, only lasts for seven months
every year. Their duties, too, ave been
materially increased and the many dis
missals made without apparent cause
have given to those now on duty a feeling
of uncertainty.
New Jersey is the Fourth District in
the national system of the Life Saving
Department, which is under 5he control
of the Treasury Department. This dis
trlct contains forty-one stations, a larger
number than any other of the districts
along the coast line, there being 222
stations in the twelve districts of the de-
partnIent-
The number of men employed at each
station varies from six to nIne. At the
present time there are even men on duty
AT each of the fOrJy-one stations in this
State, the number being increased one IN
December last, as is The usual custom.
The surfmen receive $500 u year for then
hard and dangerous work, and the keep.

men they were about to attack. The
screaming invader couldn't be blamed

salvation, it was determined that the
thistle should be the emblem of Scot
land, and the motto Memo me inn
