THE ANNUAL RALLY
Epworth League, Christian
EndeaVor and Baptist
Union Societies
to Meet.
GOOD SPEAKERS SECURED
Epworth League Presidents Confer
Fair at the Universalist
Church-0ther Churches.
GOOD SPEAKERS SECURED

About a year ago the various societies
of Young People of this county united
and held a grand rally of all the societies.
It proved to be highly successful, not
only regard to the large attendance
but from the spiritual impetus that the
young people received.
Owing to the success of the first rally
it has been decided to hold another one.
All of the branches of the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor, Jersey
City Epworth Union and the Baptist
Young Peoples Union will participate. 1t
will be held on Thursday evening, De-
cember 5, in the Bergen Reformed
Church, corner of Bergen and Highland
avenues. Services will begin at 7:45
o'clock.
The committee in charge of the affair
have secured the services of Mr.. Robert
e. Speer of the Presbyterian Board of
Missions, New York, and the Rev. ]. o.
Wilson, D. D., pastor of the M. r.
Church., Brooklyn, two of the most flu
ent, inspiring and instructive speakers
THAT could be procured for the occasion.
Other able speakers will be present be-
sides these gentlemen. The singing WIN
be under the direction of Mr.. George II.
SOliiOlo vi ais ~
Each of the societies is represented
on the committee. Edgar T. Corfield,
William D. Post and Robert A. Alberts
represent the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor. George H. Lincl4s,
H. F. Thompson and A. F. Edsall. the
Jersey City Epworth Union. and John
Creighton the Baptist Young Peoples
Union.
In a circular sent out by the committee
they say:-'We remember with pleasure
the marked success which attended our
first rally of a similar nature, held about
a year ago, and we are again DESTROYS
that the youth of our churches receive a
spiritual impetus as a result of this
meeting. To this end we invite your
hearty cooperation, by inviting others
and sending a large delegation of your
own young people. We have selected one
of the largest church buildings. in this
city, but since a large audience is antici-
pated, and it will be impossible to re
serve seats, YOU early attendance is a d
visable. The expense of this rally must
be betrayed by the collection of the even
ing"
There is little doubt but that the rally
will be a grand success, n that the
Bergen Reformed Church will be taxed
to its utmost to accommodate all who
win attend.

The market is full of cough mixtures, but one
trouble with most of @sem is that when they
do a little good the patient has to take so
much that he gets to loathe the taste. The
Pineola Baisam is superior to other cough
remedies because it is agreeable to the palate
and its good effects are immediate. In a few
days an ordinary cough is gone altogether.
Bronchitis and asthma are more stubborn,
but they too are cured by Ely's Pineola

The infamous Hannigan Verdict.

The InfamO er0ict
Nothing more depraving to morals
has happened in many a day than the
~acquittal of David Hannigan in New
York. The man was manifestly not in
sane. He was intoxicated with lust of
vengeance when he did murder upon the
paranour of his sister.
His acquittal is especially d~epraving
in its bearing Upon the moral responsible
ity OF young women. The lesson it sug-
gests is that they are free to stray from
thu paths of virtue at any time, that by
doing so they simply become heroines n
martyrs. that ala the blame rests up
on the companions Of their sin, and
any one of their male relatives may
wash them white and become a hero
himself by shedding the blood of their
paarticeps criminis.
This is dime novel morality with q
vengeance.
