In the year 1880, Rev. Mr.. Stoddard,
then rector of ST. Johns Church. began
what has since been known as the Rec
tors Bible Glass. 1t was composed for
the most part of young men and women
from the main Sunday School, and at
first the members remained indefinitely
under the instruction of Mr.. Stoddard,
meeting until 1889 in the church. Dur
ing that year, partly. with funds which
had accumulated in the class, and partly
from the proceeds of $1,000 note. the pay
ment of which the class assumed, the
first wing of the parish building was
erected adjoining the church on the
southeast corner.
In 1894, after the enlargement and re-
decoration of the church., the then mem
bers of the class presented memorials to
the church having a value of $3.50. In
1896 the graduates numbered 347, and the
rector felt hat a class which a held
together for sixteen years and done such
good work, hould have a permanent
organization, and should undertake some
specific work for the, welfare of the
parish. The purpose of the association
is to unite the alumni of the Bible Class
into a fraternal association, to keep in
touch with all members present and alb
sent and to perpetuate their interest in
the church by raising an endowment
fund of 800, 600.

The "EvenIng Journals, Water
ViIIafny.

A few months ago, the Evening Jour-
nal' was bowling for the acceptance by
the city of the Roekaway and Hudson
Water Company's offer to furnish Jersey
City with Boonton's sewerage supply, for
several million dollars. 1t employed Who
s-Kent lat the expense of the Board of
Trade to boom this proposition, and it
slated the city officials mal:ciously be-
cause they refused to regard Rockaway
sewerage as preferable to the Passaic
brand which the city already enjoyed.
Now, when the Rockaway and Hudson
Company is Offering a pure supply. the
Journal is bitterly opposed to it. In
thursdays paper it printed a virulent
editorial, every second word in which
was either a blunder or a. lie DESIGNED to
stir up popular opposition to an award
on the present bid. 1t may as well be
stated here, that THE News" is also OPP
posed to such an award, but
only on the ground that there
was NO real competition under the
recent code; that owing to minor diff
fieulties the best bona fide bidders in the
field withheld their offers, and that to
make an award under the circumstances
would be a mere snap game. Our OPP
position, however would never lead us
to falsify the facts about the company's
bid and regard for fair play leads US to
correct, here and now. one or two of the
grossest of the Journals falsehoods or
plumbers.
Here is an unsurpassed specimen of
conscious mendacaty-
There is one feature about the bid of
the Roekaway & Hudson that is by no

much larger than it was the first time

It is nearly as high, and thus it COM
