WORKING In HIS NAME.
Anniversary of the Kings
Daughters of the Park
Reformed Church.
REV. WALTER GRlFFIN'S SERMON.
DR.. Scudder Tells How the Peoples
Palace Will Compete With
the Saloons.

The Kings Daughters connected with
niversary in the church last evening.
The spacious edifice was crowded with
friends of the organization. and the in
terror was beautifully decorated for the
occasion with plants. palms and rare
flowers. In front of the pulpit rested the
emblem of the order worked in flowers.
The Rev. Walter L. Griffin. the new
pastor of the church, preached special
sermon to the young ladies. Mr.. Griffin
has been said to resemble Talmage. and
there is certain twang about his voice
which forcibly calls to mind the great
Brooklyn preacher. But there the re-
semblance ends Mr.. Griffin Is shorter and
stouter than Mr.. Talmage and wears a
neavy black beard. He is an eloquent
speaker, but he has none OF the extrava-
giant and grotesque maunerisms OF Mr..
Talmage.
His sermon was a finished tribute to
the sacrifice and energy of the young
women who are laboriug so lndefatlga-
oily Sin His name." and an eloquent ex-
hortation to them to continue steadfast
in the work of their Master. He began
with vivid description of the sudden
L
the countries of Europe clothed in his
course robes, his loins girded with a
hempen cord. picturing with all the pow
ers Of his fervent eloquence, the sacrilege
which the Saracens, in whose possession
was the Holy Sepulchre, were committing
at the tomb of Christ, holding aloft the
cross and exhorting the knights and
noblemen by that sacred emblem to wrest
the Holy Land from the hand of the Inf
del.
A MODERN CRUSADE.
Then the preacher proceeded to liken
the work of the Kings Daughters to
this uprising under Peter the Hermit.
Their work is q modern crusade against
wretchedness and sin. Like the warriors
of old, who battled against Barbarians
and Infidels for the possession of the
Holy Sepulchre, these modern warriors
have an armor. 1t consists OF purity. Il
delity and truth. .--and armed with this,
they can so forth conquering for their
Master.
Mr.. Griffin drew beautiful parallel be-
tween the order aud a beautiful lily. AS
the flower springs up from the ooze OF
the pond and under the benign influence
of the sun gradually discloses its lowell

S3eciat to the Jerseu City Neus.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 8, 1S91.-Some
of Rutgers students are moving to have
the cremation exercises by the Sopho-
more class done away with. and '94 is
asked to lead the movement. They are told
that the scheme will rebound to the
credit of the college, and as the original
idea of cremating a hated book has now
become almost all insult to the professor
OF Mathematics they will do well to drop

tion at an earlier date than commence
ment. which is already crowded with
events.
1t is also reported that Stevens man
ager has secured Lull 1913. and Bruere,
'92, as guards for his team next year.
A banjo quartette consisting of Messrs.
Tomkins, Demott. Howell and Bonnell
has been formed and will give concerts
this winter.
The Athletic Association has won a vic
tory over the city. Last spring the Com
mon Council passed an ordinance at the
request OF Mahlon Martin, whose resi-
dence adjoins the grounds of the associa-
ton. making it illegal to hold games, cir
Gus. etc, within 400 feet of any resi-
dence without obtaining per ermission from
the owner of the plooerty. John 5. Voor-
hees, counsel for the association, carried
the case up to the Supreme Court on a
writ, and that body in the absence of the
counsel for the city set aside the ordi-
nance. The students are jubilant, and IL
is believed no further effort will be made
to disturb the students, who preserve the
best of order on their grounds. The
Field Day Sports netted the Association
$125, which will be used for improving
the grounds.

German was confined to his bed by pneu-
monia and was delirious and unable to
leave his bed. The Judge remarked that
IL the certificate was correct that he was
under the impression that the case should
not proceed.
After some discussion the Court direc t
ed DR.. Saltonstal1 to visit Germans house

considered it very doubtful If he lived
twenty-one days or even two weeks.
Should he recover: Dr.. Saltonstall said
the shortest possible time that he would
