MR.. sCUDDER's IDEAS.


Wants Reform, But 1t Must Be Such As
He Dictates. IS
The Rev. John l.. Scudder gave his
hearers at the Tabernacle last night an
other stump speech. He wants canvass
in which there shall be only two candi-
dates-his and the other man. Then he
wants the voting confined to the good
men of the town-the men who will vote
for his candidate He wants O concerted
movement to accomplish this. He doesn't
care what the politics Of the truly good
candidate may be SO that he is a Taber-
nacle Republican. He wants the good
men to pin their eyelids back, glue them
selves to the polling places at seven a. m
and stick there until the polls close-even
If they have TO ill their pockets with
sandwiches enough to last week.
Naturally, the possibility of the cleo
tion Of other candidates fills Mr.. Scudder
with alarm. A man who goes into an
election with an idea that there can be
no reform. but such as he provides must
naturally feel that way. He thinks he
and his friends can elect their candidate
If they can only get the right Kind OF
mar. -,
s.Ifthere be any citizens movement"
walled Mr.. Scudder. "by all means let
such an organization cooperate with the
Republicans and march shoulder to
shoulder against the common enemy. BY

CONVERTING THE HEIGHTS
West Hoboken Warned Against
Card Parties and Receptions.

The West Hoboken Baptist Church
was crowded to the doors at the first OF
the series of meetings under the direction
of the evangelists, Messrs. Munhall and
Lowe. A choir of sixty voices was in at
tendance. The Rev. E. N. Crato, of the
Palisade M. e. Church led in prayer. Then
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowe sang LEAD Me.
Savior. that go not astray." DR.. L. W.
Munhall followed and preached stirring
sermon. He said:-
why am follower of Christ? In or
der that my life may be purer. Because |
have the life of Christ in me. When
God puts life and blood in your soul
ual within you needs exercise. You must
start to help others and lead them to sal
vation.
MAY BE HAD BY SEEKING.
IF you really go to church because you
desire religious growth it will come. In
striving to do good we obey the spirit OF
Christ that is in us. We see many people
who neglect prayer meetings, early SER
vices and church work to attend balls,
receptions and card parties. They are
lazy saints. IL you wish to become
Christian you must love Christ and
work for him. You must not go out into
the world and neglect your spiritual du-
and tin horn to amuse me. l do not

Christ If you are not you have yet to

SUNDAY PAPERS HORROR
"We must shun Sunday papers as the
work of the devil. Sunday should be de-
voted to worship and reading the Bible.
II you cannot give reason for the hope
that is in you, you better give the matter
serious study. 1t is sad if an officer Of
the church cannot tell an enquiring soul
the way to salvation. To be follow er
of Christ you must be faithful
''To be doer Of Christ you must be
conscientious. Flow many think of CIV
ing. They put their hands down into
their pockets to find the smallest coin.
You will find the man who talks loudest
gives least.
GIN AND TOBACCO.
HE hates to denv himself anything.
There is fourteen times as much money
expended in gin and tobacco as is given
TO the church We should not forget
this when we contribute"
After the sermon the choir sang and
the main meeting was closed. There was
an after meeting for 1nquiring ones,
which was very well attended.
TIE services will be continued during
the week at the Presbyterian and First
Methodist Churches.

TRENTON, March z, 1S92.-A Democratic
leader is authority for the statement that
the Legislature may not adjourn sine die
next Friday, but instead take recess for
month or SO that an opportunity may
be given for the Investigating Committee
ON the alleged railroad coal combine to
probe the matter to the bottom. This in
vestigation can be finished in a month
and then, if legislation is required in the
matter, it could be accomplished after the
proposed recess.
Owing to the vigorous action of the
Pennsylvania authorities on the coal
combine, the New Jersey Legislature is
looked to tor similar action by the Demo-
cratic leaders and labor people. The re-
port, which was circulated by the State
Gazette this morning, that Justice Werts
is about to resign. has no foundation.
