At this time John Elliott went

thirteen thousand copies of the Bible

way or another We are all connected
with the term home. Some may
have beea deprived of their home in
their infancy, others later in life,still
some place has been to them a sliel-
ter and abode and from their youth
they have been looking to father
and mother, guardian or some dear
friend whom they might follow, just

the early mouldings and trainings.
Let us look into the home where
a cross word is spoken, often with
out much thought as to where it
will lodge,or a spiteful action done,
even with some provacation, and
can We look into the future and see
the effect Of those hasty words or
spiteful acts. No indeed! Words
once spoken or deeds once preform-

The home is merely the training
school for life's duties, then how
pure it ought to be. Every one leav-

WAITING AND HOPING.
The Moral Element Expects
Mayor Wanser to Help
Enforce the Laws.
STOP THE SUNDAY RUM.
Mr.. Hathaway Is Willing to Give
Him Time-What DR.. Brett
Would Hail With
Delight.

Rev. /. W. Hathaway of the Vest
minister Presbyterian Church.with refer
ence to the apathy of Mayor Wanser in
the present fight that is being waged to
close up the liquor saloons on Sunday.
said to a reporter for The NEWS last
night
Certainly the church element that sup
ported Mr.. Wanser expects an improve
ment in the matter of enforcing the Sun
day liquor law. Personally 1 did not
suppose Mayor Wanser would at first
have the power to do very much other
than exert his moral influence. He Is
not yet in proper control of the police de-
partment The longer he is In office the
better he will have chance to bring
about reform in the direction of suppress
inglthe Sunday liquor traffic. We certainly
expect the Mayor to enforce all laws. He
may not think the time is yet ripe 30 far
as the Sunday law goes.
NOT HOPEFUL
II doubt If Judge Lippincott has the
power to enforce this law outside of his
influence as Judge. But it becomes q
Judge or any other magistrate to call at
tention to any violation of law. / sup
ported Mayor Wanser. believing he would
see that all decent laws were enforced.
Almost the entire church element sup
ported him because Of disgust at the OPEN
and f1agrant violations of law. He will
retain that support only by proving his
fidelity to that element.
II have been looking for him to strike
In the direction OF the endorsements or
the Sunday liquor law. He has not yet
had time. But we expect him to use all
his power to that end"
DIR. BRETT'S HOPES.
The Rev. DIR. Cornelius Brett, Of the
Bergen Reformed Church, said;-"The
feeling in our church is in opposition to
any kind of Sunday traffic. / am not q
crank. yet personally would be glad to
see even the street car passenger traffic
| use the street cars and members of my
church come to and go from church to
their homes on the street cars. But still
thinK the horses and the conductors
and the drivers should have a rest on the
Sabbath day. 1t would conduce to the
spiritual uplifting of the community.
GAS to the liquor traffic, we believe In
its entire abolition. The church is anJi-
saloon and the saloon Is anti-church.
| The effort to close the saloons on Sunday
receives our warmest sympathy in every
| way. Judge Lippincott has received our
praises. 66 mas Ueen pralSeu Dy meu OF
| all parties. or the two main candidates
| In the recent mayoralty contest our
church element thought Mr.. Wanser was
| the one most likely to bring about reform
| in all directions.
WOULD HAIL 1T WITH DELIGHT.
"Those are our hopes. Judge Lippin-
colt took up the Sunday liquor question
as Judge. 1t is one of the beauties OF
| our Judiciary that when man is elevated
| to the bench, no matter what his partisan
predictions may be he becomes non-
| partisan in our State. would hail with
| delight public expression of opinion
| from Mayor Wanser upon the subject of
closing the liquor saloons on Sunday"
