ers of the New Testament know that
Christ's favorite mode of teaching great
moral truths was by means of figures:
and when He taught His hearers that
when they were smitteu on one cheek
to turn the other also, He only meant
to inculcate, by forceful illustration,
the necessity of humility and self
abnegation.
Suppose that this whole world were
composed, without exception, of per-
sons who, if it were possible for them
to be injured by others, could entirely
forget the fact of such injuries and
hasten to confer great benefits upon
those who despitefully used them,
what paradise would be our abode
There would be no swindling, no ex-
tortion, no oppression, no stealing, no
lying, no murders, no court houses, no
prisons, no punishments of any kind.
The lessons of the Bible are, that those
who enter heaven must live in this
world, to an approximate degree, the
same lives of perfection that whould be
theirs in that blest abode. Suppose we
should be admitted to heaven with
feelings Of anger and revenge in our
hearts, that spot would not very long
remain place of perfection.
A very large majority of the human
race believe that there is something
beyond mere probability for the con-
viction that ldeath does not end all.
All organized nature is perfected
adapted to its environments. The
tree, rooted in the earth, blossoms,
bears fruit, decays and dies, and no en-
ergy whatever is lost. The hog in his
pen swills his Stops three times day in
perfect contentment and is then knock
ed in the head leaving no wasted force.
But man, the highest product of crea-
ton, what becomes of him at death if
the atheist is correct ? Like the tree
and the hog ne passes into nothingness.
What loss of force or energy is involv-
ed in this idea, and howe ompletely out
of harmony man is with his environ
ment! Sorrow, love, noble aspirations,
whether they spring from physical caus-
es or whether they are the immaterial
attributes of the ego are forces as truly
as heat and electricity. We are as SEN
sible of their existence as we are of that
of the other two. How many people
there are in this world whose lives from
the cradle to the grave are as Il black
night of despair; how many who seeing
the vanities, the shortness and imper-
fections of this life long for the perfect
and enduring one. Is there not a COM
pensation somewhere? Did God or ma
ture by last supreme creative effort
bring forth man only to mock him? Il
for one refuse to believe that man is
the only exception to the rule of har-
mony that marks the phenomena of
nature. The minister speaks from the
standpoint of an agnostic and hence
cannot understand another and higher
proof; nevertheless there are millions
Of persons today who have the proof in
their hearts of the Immortality of the
soul.
The Chinese boast that their civiliza-
| ton is result of experience. Confu-
cious lived at time when there was
little atheism in the world Hence
Confucianism is not a result of expert
ence. As to what atheism has accom-
| plished for the world as compared with
| christianity, contrast China with Eu-
l rope and America.

Opposes the Schema.

The Vest Jersey Press. Camden, is of
the opinion that AssembIyman Steel
mans oyster bill will fail of its purpose.
1t says:
zone of the Cumberland county A.
semblyman has introduced bill prohib-
itiDg all persons except residents of New
Jersey, of at least years. standing, from
holding or operating, by lease or other
wise, any oyster planting grounds in this
State. This is very radical measure
too radical, we fear, to stand the test of
the courts. But even if it should be held
constitutional it is doubtful if the results
would be satisfactory. Nonresident
holders would evade the law by placing
the nominal title to their grounds in some
residents name while retaining the actual
ownership themselves. As we view it
the bill fails to fill the bill.

HIS MAN LOCKED UP.
Constable Lore Gets Home From vir-

Constable Lore Gets Home From vir-
ginia.
Constable Frank J. Lore arrived home
Saturday night from Virginia. He has
Belford Candy locked up there tight and
fast, but Belford wouldn't come to Jersey
City without requisition papers. Con-
stable Lore expects to have the necessary
papers from Governor Voorhees, this
week, so that he can go to Richmond, Va.
have the papers signed by virginia's
Governor, and return with his man.
Candy was greatly surprised when he
was arrested. and found that Lore was in
that country. Mt. Holly is little town
in West Moreland county, Va. There
Candy had every reason to believe that
he would be entirely safe. No JERSEY
men were in that vicinity, and Candy
was careful not to say where he was from.
There are less people in the whole of
West Moreland county than there are in
Bridgeton. 1t is sort of wilderness, and
naturally good hiding place, but some-
how or other, this man Lore finds these
hiding places and then picks up his man.
Candy is in serious trouble this time
and he will have difficulty in securing
counsel, after the manner in which he
treated John s. Mitchell, Esq.

The Building Sold.

Saturday afternoon Sheriff William G.
Hendee sold the Charles G. Davis build
ing, on South Pearl street, at public sale.
The sale was in front of the Hotel Cum
berland, and attracted the attention of a
good many people. The property was
sold under foreclosure proceedings by the
Merchants and Mechanics Saving Fund
and Building Association. The first bid
was $500 just to get the sale going, and
the figures promptly ran up to $1,000
Then the bidding was in smaller bits and
finally ceased at S5775.00. Mrs. Martha A.
Davis being the purchaser. The price
indicates that down town property is
worth something, and the tendency is
upward.

TACKLED HIS MAN.
And Landed Him In the Lookup Despite
His Kicking.

John s. Turner, the packer, and form
erly City School Superintendent, can
shut his lips pretty close, and develop
determination that usually amounts to
something. He did Thursday.
During the afternoon Mr.. Turner and
Charles Vannaman we're standing in
front of Barth's butcher shop talking.
when Davy Holcomb came along,
Everybody who knows Davy knows that
when he is drunk he is positive nuis-
ance, He is generally drunk. Holcomb
came along yesterday and interfered with
the conversation of the gentlemen, and in
order to get rid of the nuisance, Messrs.
Turner and Vannaman walked across tho
street.
Turner warned him that if he did not go
on about his business he would send for
an officer. Holcomb gave Turner to
understand that there was no officer who
could lock him up.
Mr.. Turner made up his mind that he
could turn the trick ali by himself and h4
gathered on to Davy. Mr. Vannaman
also took piece of the outfit and led
the drunk down town. When Commerce
and Pearl streets were reached Holcom b
became ugly and baked. Turner was
determined. For few moments there
was free and easy wrestling match,
with Mr.. Turner finally victorious.
When the station house was reached
officer Betchner took charge of Davy
finally picking him up bodily and carry
ing him in the lookup.
Friday morning Mayor Appellate had
Holcomb before him for hearing. He
pleaded guilty and was sent to Jail for
sixty days.

VIII Come Back,

Belford Candy, the oysterman, who
skipped his bail when liberated from
Jail upon the certiorari of his case, will
come back to Jail. He was located at
VT. Holly, Maryland, by Constable Lore,
and is now locked up awaiting requisi-
tion. Candy will also be charged with
another crime, that of perjury. The
charge will be made by Justice of the
Peace Joel F. Pierce. Candy, it will be
recalled, testified recently that he bought
liquor of Pierce, and the latter says that
the oysterman is plain, unvarnished
liar.

CENSUS FACTS.
{ the Far mers Will Make Census Reports
Full and Complete Jersey Farm
Land VIII Range Higher.

1t is highly important for the farmers to
prepare accurate and full Information for
the census enumerators when they make
their official visits next June. 1t is i'm
portant for the farmer. 1t is Important
for him to make his acreage as good as it
can be, to make his farm as valuable as it
should be, Withholding nothing. The
State Board of Agriculture has sent out
the following bulletin, which it styles as
Interesting facts abont the Census"

The first really valuable Census of
Agriculture in the United States, was
taken in 1850, of the crops of 1849., The
next enumeration of Agriculture will be
taken in June, 1900, of the products of
1899.
Instead of recording several farms on
one schedule in the Twelfth Census, as
heretofore, each farm will be accorded
separate blank, the entries on which will
not be known to any save sworn officers
of the Department. No names will be
published in connection with information
secured from the people.
Tax assessors, collectors, and equalizers
can not serve as enumerators, or have
access to the Census returns, or to the in
formation therein contained.
There ARE more than 100000 farms,
plantations, ranches, stock ranches, and
market gardens in the United State, all of
which, for Census purposes, will be desig-
mated as farms"

The servant gir, problem is one that is
not easily solved, and it is most perplex-

dependent upon the help of domestics,
and they are continually in trouble. A

The annual meeting of the Cumberland
County Board of Agriculture was held
Thursday afternoon at the Court House.
The rain had the effect of making the
attendance much smaller than it other
wise would have been, and those present
were greatly disappointed because Prof.

Station. was not present. just before the
Board convened telegram was received
from that gentleman, announcing that he
had missed his train and would be un-
able to reach here in time
President Winfield s. Bonham pre-
sided over the session.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and promptly approved. The re-
port of the treasurer showed that the
organization was not an expensive body.
During the past year the expenses had
been about S17, and there was at this time
balance of s24 70 in the hands OF the
treasurer.
A. W. Onthank, of Vineland, who bad
attended the last meeting of the State
Board, presented a very carefully pre-
pared address upon the sessions. He
called attention to all of the important
matters considered by the State Board,
| and urged the members of the Cumber-
land County Board to take advantage of
the suggestions.
President Bonham, who also attended
the State Board, presented very inter-
| esting report of the sessions.
