IN MEMORIAM.
James Redfern Mace. Ph. D.


The following from the pen of one out
side the religious denomination of which
DR.. Mace was a member, and who knew
him as friend, and appreciated him for
his worth, is but just tribute to the
memory OF the deceased. .-ED.1
The news of the death of DIR. J. r. Mace.
which occurred last Saturday in Cam
den, will be received with wide. spread
and genuine regret by large circle of
friends and acquaintance; while to those
who possessed the privilege of more in
| innate knowledge of the man, it will
come with the added force of personal
bereavement.
During his all too brief residence in
Bridgeton, when pastor of the Central M.
z. Church, he had acquired reputation
as a scholarly and eloquent preacher,
which was by no means confined to the
circles of the Methodist denomination, in
which he was such conspicuous and
honored member.
Coming to Bridgeton, az he did, in the
Spring of 1895, comparative stranger, he
soon won for himself hosts of friends
Possessed of well trained and cultivated
nina, which continued study and un-
eeasing application had rounded into
full and symmetrical development, he
soon took high position among the
clergy of the town, by whom he was uni
versally esteemed. His genial, sunny
disposition, tactful sympathy, and the,
evident devotion with which he threw
himself into his work, gave him a degree
of influence in the community. which
will be felt long after he has himself
passed away.
AS preacher, DIR. Mace is too well
known to require any eulogy, and it is
not the purpose of this brief notice to

A PALATIAL RESIDENCE.
Mr.. Hobart Leased a Handsome Residence
at Washington,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Vice President
elect Hobart has leased for four years the
palatial residence of A. l.. Barber, the
asphalt king. This mansion is of granite,
capacious almost as baronial castle, and
is surrounded by an extensive park and
shady trees. 1t is situated at the extrem-
ity of Fourteenth street and Florida
avenue, and was formerly occupied by
Chief Justice Fuller, of the United
States Supreme Court. The mansion was
originally built with the idea of inducing
President Arthur to forsake the Soldiers
Home cottage and spend his Summers
there. and is adapted to entertaining.
1t is in fact better residence than the
White House, more healthy and pleasant
in every respect.
1t is probable that when the Vice
President-elect and Mrs. Hobart come to
Washington they will be given recep-
tion on the eve of March ID, by Vice
Presidence and Mrs. Stevens, as the pre-
cedent for such thing was inaugurated
by ex-Vice President and Mrs. Levi P.

way NJ. n. Cnufch formerly pastor OF
Central M. E. Church, Bridgeton, died
on Saturday, after short illness of ty-
phoid fever.
DR.. Mace was taken with serious cold
some time since and narrowly escaped
pneumonia. He recovered, however,
sufficiently to be out, when he suffered
relapse and was attacked with typhoid
fever. 1t was in its most malignant form,
and despite the efforts of most skilled
physicians, death occurred this morning.
The above dispatch will be a great
shock to everyone in this city, for Dr.
James r. Mace was known by all Bridge
tonians. He came to Central NJ Z,
Church in March, 1895, and served that
people one year. He proved himself
perhaps one of the best preachers ever
occupying pulpit, and the church con-
gregations were always large. He was
splendid pastor and made friends every
where. When he determined to leave
this city and go to Broadway, Camden,
the decision was generally regretted by
everybody here.
A brief sketch of the minister's short
life is given:
DR.. James r Mace was born in the city
of ST. John, province of New Brunswick,
in 1857. He received his preparatory
education in the gammar school of his
native city, where in 1874 he won the gold
medal awarded yearly by the City Cor
poration to the best scholar in the Latin
and Greek languages.
In 1874 he entered the University of
New Brunswick, situate at Fredericton,
the capital of the province. He was dur
ing his course the winner of the English
scholarship in English Literature and
Logic, and also ofthe Douglas Gold Medal,
founded by Sir Howard Douglas the first
Chancellor of the College.
He was graduated B. A. in 1878, and
proceeded afterwards by examination to
the following degrees, M. A., in 1880; Sc.
B., in 1895, and Phi. d., in 1890.
After graduation in 1878 he was engaged
in educational work until Feb. 1882, when
he sent in his resignation of the princi-
palship of the York st. School, of Fred
ericton, to come to the United States and
enter the ministry of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. He was admitted to the
New Jersey Conference in March. 1882,
and appointed to Union st. (now Wesley
Church, Trenton, where he served one
year, and was called to Grace Church.
Red Bank. where he served three years.
He has since been stationed in Penning-
ton, Cape May City, New Brunswick,
Central Church, Bridgeton and Broad
way, Camden.

One Of them was taken up by a
shrewd cycle trainer and broke all

at the end of which time he died,
leaving fortune of $4,000. His
younger brother, Tom Linton, is
now the greatest long.distance ride

A Romance in the Life of the Family
of Grim.

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Dec. 26.-Eleven
years ago John Grim went to his
home in Flat Rock from the village
store and informed his wife that he
had made an effort to secure some
thing for their babies for Christmas,
but not having the money the
merchant refused, aud the little
ones would have to do without any
presents. His wife told him not to
grieve, saying that she had few
trinkets laid away for their children,
and that they could get along until
the sawmill started up. About mid
night the husband arose, kissed his
wife as she slept, as he did their
children, wrote a note asking his
wife not to worrey about him and to
await his return home. Nothing
was ever heard of him by his wife or
friends until last night, when we'll
dressed man walked into the store
at Flat Rock. 1t was John Grim.
He asked the direction to Mary
Crim's residence, A boy IL years
old stepped forward with the remark
that he would show him to his
mothers house. Grim recognized
HE child, and clasped him to his
breast, aud almost carried him to
the house. Grim had been i'd British
Columbia for ten years engaged in
mining, aud had amassed a fortune.
The reunion of tho family was a
happy one,

The Prince of Wales.

The heir apparent to the British
throne has not, as many people i'm
agine, been Prince OF Wales all his
life. The eldest son OF the reigning
sovereign is not born Prince Of
Wales, that title being the subject
on each occasion OF a fresh patent.
George w. was created Prince of
Wales 5 days after his birth, but in
the case OF the present prince the
creation did not take place for over
three weeks after birth, the actual
date being Dec. 4, 1871. During that
period he bore only the title to
which the eldest sou OF the reignlng
sovereign is alone entitled by birth,
and that was "Duke OF Cornwall"

Stripping off his light clothes, grasp

A paper read before medical asso-
action by DIR. Nathan. W.. Sanborn Of
Wellesley Hills. Mass. and printed in the
current issue Of the Atlantic Medical
Weekly is interesting ns indicating that
Christian Science, metaphysics. and
healing by faith OF one kind or another
are having their influence with practi-
tioners however little the latter may be
disposed 20 acknowledge that these are
entitled 20 any more credit than is com
monty accorded by the expression
something In it,"
We take IL that our friends, the doc
tors have long since recognized the i'm
portance of CHEEKY and hopeful de-
meanor in their practice and as Ii Is the
sunny doctor that the patient best likes
so 1t is perhaps also he that effects tho
most cures. And. DIR. Sanborn Is authority
for number of instances where bread
pills and impotent infusions have accom-
plished the desired result because, and
only because, OF the faith in them that
the physician inspired in his patient.
Doubtless most physicians of any consid-
erable experience and practice could di-
vulge many such interesting secrets OF
taf t,
or pill, but really due, If the truth were
known, to faith in the doctor who pre-.
scribed it.
II Is common. we believe, in the pro-
fession, as DR.. Sanborn himself puts ii, to
ascrihe all the curative qualities not
traceable TO drugs or secured without re-
sort TO drugs. under the vague name
"bypnotic suggestion" and while our
friends, the Christian Scientists, for in
stance, would take strong exception to
having their work associated with any
such limited theory, as according to faith
only a subordinats or at most an asso-
oiate position with materia medica. 1T is
plain that the public acknowledgment
OF even that much by the medical
fraternity demonstrates the influ-
ence of "faith cure" on medical
practice outside the extending circle of
believers in faith alone. by look and
word, DIR. Sanborn advises, Suggest
good and not bad to the patients en-
trusted To us (minds and bodies)." and
also he urges, study the spiritual and
mental sides of our sick ones. as we'll as
the physical" And again 'let us not
forget the part that faith, belief or sug-
gestion has in the cure OF diseases OF
mind or body" Which seems TO indicate
very strongly that even among the strict
regulars is moving a spirit that al
ready ceases to rely so implicitly as 1t
once did upon drugs but Is learning that
the mind Is an influence to lie invoked in
practice.
