/ Rev Robt. Watt, of Milford filled the
pulpit at the NJ E. Church here last Sun.
day evening and preached a splendid
f sermon. The church was crowded many |
) finding standing room only. At the close
Of the sermon Rev. Watt made a state
ment of the financial condition Of this
circuit. Cedar Neck aud Slaughter Neck
churches haYe paid their allotment in full.
Lincoln Church was sI4s.3 80 in arrears as
usual. He earnestly pleaded that the
members who had signed an obligation
to pay certain amounts-which in all
amounted to enough to wipe this debt out
would do so. But his pleadings were :
in vain; and after wasting about an hour r
in talking real nice to them without ef i
feet. he came 10 the conclusion that Ino's r
style Of telling them how they stood, was
the better way. And taking the Latin is
motto at the close of last weeks letter as c
guide, 'He hurts the good who spares
the bad" he numerically scored them. 6,
He confined his remarks entirely to the HI
members of this church, and started by N
telling them that, although he was not Ct
very large man, he was not afraid to tell rf
them his opinion in plain English that ~
they had signed an obligation to pay to b,
the support ofthe church certain amounts, -
and that some of them had not paid it :.
that they owed this amount as much as -
if they had owed store bill. Their :
honor and christian character was at :.
stake. They could not crawl out by say =,
ng the preacher had not pleased them. 8.
rhey did not owe the preacher one cent;
)ut by their own written obligations it =.
vas debt due the church, ,and the church
wed the preacher and could not pay him a.,
Until they came forward and paid their -;
Ionest debt to the church. And he warned
henI that in his opinion, unless they paid go,
his, they would find it hard job to get -
preacher for another year. That he :.
imself would not preach for a class of -,
eople who was so mean as to cheat the -.
huIch. He tonight had driven from
Iilford to preach to them. but had he -,
nown beforehand the outcome of this ~
leeting, he would have staid at home. He -
ad heard great deal about this Lincoln -
lurch trouble from both sides, and did
ot wish to bring that into this meeting; 49,

e truth. He had tonight had his eyes Dc, Dc
,ened in regard to this trouble and -,
here the blame lay, and warned them a.,
at the only way to redeem themselves ,ort.
Is to be honest and pay what they hon ",ro
tlY owed. His remarks were atten- r.
'ely listened to, and must have struck l.Ohr,
ep into the conscience of some of his -,
