The Mission Fathers.


Who are thew And what Is their Mis-
sion A small company of clergymen be-
longing TO the Protestant Episcopal
church was founded by the Rev. Jamss
o. s. Huntington several years ago, for
mission work among the neglected poor
on the Eas. side of New York city. That
work has gone on ever since, with great
aud increasing benefit To people of differ
ent natiouali,ies and every grade. The
name of "Father Huntington" is honorcd
and loved by thousands in that city, and
in many other parts of our land. He and
the other members OF the Society, to
which he gave the name OF the Order OF
The Holy Cross, have since devoted them
selves chiefly TO the work CT preaching in
various places, as they may be invited, 10
order to arouse liveier interest in the
truths and duties of Christianity.
l. is thus that Father Sargent, who is
member Of The order, and Father Stone of
Baltimore, who has had great success In
very large field 10 his own city, hive con-
scented TO come TO Lambertville and
preach a mission, this present month.
The mission will begin on Saturday night,
January 90, at 7:S0, in s. Andrews
Church. Ga the following day, Sundey,
at $3.50 p. m. there will be aa address to
men only in Holcombe Hall. During Ten
days or longer, there will be numerous
services daily, of which eur next weeks
paper will give the full list.
A letter written by these preachers tells
what their mission is, In coming to our
city. IA Mission is special call from
God. II has special message to the
community, and 10 each individual soul.
1t comes to fer particular opportunity
10 every class of persons; 10 the faithful
perserveiing, 10 the indifferent and cold
hearted, 10 the unconyerted. !"
II is to be hoped that very many in
Lamberiville, of every religious denomi-
nation, and of none, will bs led to attend
the mission services, and TO find that
there was, indeed, a message for them,
from the Lord, to he delivered by these
earnest preachers.
We are desired to state that meetings
to practise the Mission Hymns will be
held on Tuesday evenings at 7:30, and
that an invitation Is extended to every
tody to come then, and learn the tunes,
as well as 10 come, during the mission
TO sing the hymns and TO hear the word
preached.
As long as the Mission continues, the
Church will be open during the entire day,
so that persons may find there in the in
tervas between services, place for quiet
thought and prayer.

The free trade panic of 1893 is perhaps
felt as severely by the railroads as by any
other business. Travel has fallen off tre-
mendously. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, for example, has taken off over
hundred trains from The United Rail-
roads of New Jersey Division since the
first u September. Not ouly ia travel,
but there has been notable falling off In
the number CT commercial travellers, will,

The Supreme Court of this State,
Justice Reed fling the opinion, has rem
dered decision against the liquor deal
ers OF Camden, Bridgeton and Lambert
vile, who claimed the right to continue
selling under licenses granted by County
Excise Boards, on the ground that they
were de facto bodies when the licenses
were procured, and until the expiration
Of the terms for which they were granted
their privilege Of selling could not be In
terfered with. The Court, however, de
cided that the members OF the County
Board were not de- iacto officers, as the
act creating the Office was unconsiitution-
al and therefore the same as II 1t had
never been passed, and that where there
is no office there can be no officer either
de jnre or de facto. The decision aleo
says that decision OF the Supreme
Court Is to be considered the law Of the
State until reversed by the Court OF Err
