mistake in naming Mr.. Sooy.
William r. Ward, probably the best
known horticalturist in New Jersey, and !
prominent in Grange circles, died on
Sunday night, at his home in Essex
county, aged 81 Years. He was one of
the organizers of the State horticultural
Society, and was its secretary for three |
years. At the time of his death he was
treasurer of the State Agricultural
Society.
x.Copgressman Augustus w. Cutler
died at his homa in Morristown last week |
from the effects of an operation for aE5ft

that it is easier tesfnd horses than skill

1900 horses if thou be able to set riders
upon them. -
Rab-shakeh, like many another bad
man, said very suggestive thing. The
world is full of great energies and great
X eqpnrtunities, but few know how to
bridle them and mount them al Alnan-
age them. More spirited horses than

Praise For the Press.
The opportunities Of saving America
and saving the entire planet were never
SO many, never SO urgent, never so ire
mendous as now. Have you not noticed
the Willingness of the printing press Of
the country to give the subject of evan
gellsm full swing in column after COL
umn? Such work was formerly confined
to tract distribution and religious jour-
nalism. Now the morning and evening
newspapers, by hundreds and thousands
of copies, print all religious intelligence
and print most awakening discourses.
Never-sinoe the world has stood has
such force been offered to all engaged
in the worlds evangelization. OF the
more than $4,000 newspapers on this
continent I do not know one that Is not
alert to catch and distribute all matters
OF religious information. Oh, now seer
a mighty suggestiveness in the fact that
the first book of any importance that
was ever published after Johann Guten-
berg invented the art of printing was
the Bible. Well might that poor man
toll on, polishing stones and manufac-
turing looking glasses and making ex-
periments that brought upon him the
charge of insanity and borrowing money,
now from Martin Brother and now from
Johann Faust, until he set on foot the
mightiest power for the evangeiization
of the world. The statue in bronze
which Thorwaldsen erected for Guten-
berg in 1887 and the statue commence
rating him by David Dangers in $40
and unveiled amid all the pomp that
military PROFESSIONS and German bands
of best music could giae the occasion
were Insignificant compared with the
fact, to be demonstrated before all earth
and all heaven, that Johann Gutenberg,
under God, inaugurated forces which
will yet accomplish the worlass yedemp-
tion. ID
e The newspaper press will yet an
nounce nations born in day. The
4 newspaper press will report Christ's
sermons yet to be delivered and describe
his personal appearance, if, as some
think, heshall come again to reign on
earth. Tae newspaper press may yet
\ publish Christ's proclamation of the
worlds emancipation from sin and sor-
row and death. Tens of thousands of
good men in this and other lands have
been ordained by the laying on Of hands
to preach the gospel, but it seems to me
that just now, by the laying on Of the
sands of the Lord God Almighty. the
newspaper presses are being ordained
ff preaching the gospel with wider
sweep and mightier resound than we
have ever yet imagined. The iron horses
OF the printing press are all ready for
the battle, but where are the men good
enough and strong. enough to mount
them and guide them? 81 will deliver
thee 2,000 horses if thou be able to set
riders upon them.''
Useful In Battle.
Go out to the Soldiers home and talk
with the men who have been in the
wars and they will give you right ap-
probation Of what is the Importance Of
the cavalry service in battle. You hear
the clatter Of the hoofs and the whir Of
me Nsand the clash Of the shields
and the bang of the carbiness as they
ride up and down the centuries. Clear
back in tirne 0symandyas led 90, 600
mounted troops n Bactriana. Josephus
says that when the Israelites escaped
froni Egypt $1,000 cavalrymen rode
110h thep artsd Red sea. Three hum
and seventy enc years before Christ
Epsmine7 szas heaasd his troops at full
gaklpps lexaraef, on horse that no
othHESman cn2pld ride, led his mounted
troops. Seven thousand horsemen de-
cided the struggle at ArBsia.
Although saddles were not invented
until the time Of Constantine, and stir
rups were unknown until about 400
years after Christ, you hear the neigh
ing and snorting Of war chargers in the
greatest battles Of the ages. Austerlitz
