LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

The ruling demand of the day is for novelty. In these times people every where quickly weary of the old and crave that which is new, and nowhere is this so noticeable as in the amuse- ment field. It is to fill this demand that Germans Novelty company, which comes to Lighthouse Point the week of August to give afternoon and even ing performances, is presented to the public. Those who are tired of the old style variety entertainment, those who find no enjoyment in the stereotyped jokes and senseless antics of obsolete performances, will find in this enter tainment absolute novelty refreshing by reason of it's refinement and origin ality. It has been justly termed a rev. elation of hitherto undiscovered feat ures in the art of amusing. The big tent on Point Black, with its comfort able benches is a cool and pleasant place for a restful hour or so, There will be exhibited thirty new wargraph pictures tonight, just in from Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.

THE SURRENDERED WILL.

Rev. George W. Love Preached at
 Grace M, E. Church Yesterday.
 The Rev. George W. Love of the Troy, N. Y., conference supplied the pulpit at Grace M F. church yesterday morning and preached an able sermon on the topic, "The Power of Surren- dered Will" The church was well filled with an audience, which was ap- parently much impressed by the words of the speaker. His text was from the Fortieth Psalm and the eighth verse, which, reads: q delight to do Thy Will, o, my God, yea, Thy law is with in my heart" He said, in part: The power of a surrendered will is the time which the text suggests and it is one of the greatest powers which we have. The power to choose for himself or her. self is the distinguishing work of this great blessing.
 You are your own masters in fact, and are not to be driven around like cattle but to go as you choose. When man has been willing to subordinate this great giftto God he can then do the most good. It will be admitted that there are obstacles that stand in the way of the full working of Gods will in our lives, the right which man has of choosing for himself.
 This is an age when men like to be independent thinkers. It is the spirit of America and even of the world to stand foremost in this idea. Mans greatest achievement is to have an opinion and that his own opinion. This privilege of think has cost nightly and come through pain and suffering. It did not come in a minute.
 "Men are inclined to refer to the doc- Urine of Jesus Christ as it appears to themselves rather than accept it as it was established hundreds of years ago. We should make men feel the divine purpose of the law of God and more should seek out the things of God as they are written. When is there such an example given in all the world as that of Christ, who indeed was willing to forego kingdom that poor stricken man might be lifted up.
 When was ever a nation ready to take up arms for those of a foreign nation merely in the cause of human ity as was America? I tell you I was proud of this country when that step was taken, when she stood up and said Cuba shall be free. We will not longer see the people of that beautiful island down-trodden and oppressed by Span ish misrule, but we shall see them free. It was Christ's spirit that urged on and guided to the liberty of those poor people. Out of surrendered wills come heroes and the men who have cast aside all things and surrendered themselves to the command of one man and are ready to lay down their lives for their country are to be admired In doing the will of God We take to ourselves the power to the greatest good"

 West River.
 Richard Kegansky, who works on a farm in Orange, concluded to come to the city yesterday and started for town by way of Congress avenue. When he reached West bridge he noticed that the tide was high and decided to take a swim. So undressing on the Alling- town shore he threw his clothes in a pile on the bank of the river and jump ed in. After plunging about in the cool water for some time he returned to the shore to dress. After he had finished dressing he discovered that S1460 in cash, which he had in his pocket before going in swimming, was gone and made up his mind that some one had stolen it while he was in the water. He went to police headquarters and old the story to Captain Brewer. He said that when he went in swimming he noticed two men, one a colored man, in the meadow not far away, cutting hay, and suspect ed that they might have taken the money. Although the alleged theft took place outside of the limits of New Ha- ven, Captain Brewer instructed Police station No. 3 to keep lookout for the parties who have Kangoshy's money.
