Church consecrated.

The congregation of st. Martins in the
Fields, the pretty Episcopal church at
Lumberton, had very enjoyable and
pleasant service on Thursday. The oc-
casion was the conservation of the build
ing. In order that the service may be
properly conducted it is necessary that
the church must be free from debt. Mr..
Joseph T. Robinson, summer resident
of Lumberton, has always felt great inter
est in the parish, and took the initiative
In having the debt cancelled, bearing
large share of the burden himself
This necessity having been complied
with Bishop Scarborough was notified
that the church was ready for consecra
ton and he fixed Thursday as the date for
the service. There was large congrega-
ton present and the form set down in the
Episcopal prayer book was used.
The request for the con secration was
read by Franklin B. Lewis, representative
of the Board of Trustees. The sentence
of conservation was read for the Bishop
by Rev. James Stoddard, rector of St.
Andrews church, Mount Holly, who has
charge of the church at Lumberton.
The sermon was preached by ReY. Mar
tin Algner, of Franklin, Pa. This was
especially appropriate, as this church was
erected and carefully looked after by Mr..
Aigner when he was rectorAof Trinity
church, Mount Holly.
The music was fine and was under
the supervision of Mrs. John W. Oden-
heimer, who is one of the devoted laborers
in the parish.
In addition to the clergymen above
named there were present Revs. Charles
M. Perkins, Salem J. F. Olmstead, George
W. Harrod, Burlington; J. Bowden Shep
herd, Riverton.

| Henry l. Budd, State Road Commission
err, has submitted his annual report to
Governor Voorhees,.
In the past year 14S miles of stone roads

mand for State aid has become SO great

ing stone roads in the State in the past
year was $685., as against an average cost
of about $4,000 per mile in 1899.

Continuous good roads are shown from

The case of Joseph G. johnson VS.. Ros-
coe Bickford, was next called, Samuel W.
Shinn appearing for Bickford and Eli H.
Chandler and John G. Sims, Jr., for

sale of goods by the Sheriff that were
not levied on properly. Mr.. Chandler
asked that the case be dismissed on the
ground that money had been paid to the
Sheriff by the judgment creditor, by way
of an naturalization of the release of the
goods in question, and Sheriff Fenton was
called to identify letters written by him
and also one received by him in regard to
the matter A jury had been called in the
case but the Judge thought the matter of
too much Importance to allow him to
form an opinion at once, so he discharged
the jury for the term and said he would
announce his decision on the motion at 4
later date.

BELATED LOVE.

have known a husband to neglect
his wife in his pursuit of pleasure or
business, and when finally she died
he wrUng his hands over her dead
body, called her his angel wife, said
his heart was broken and home DESC
late, and climaXed the whole by
having built over the unconscious
body the finest marble monument in
the graveyard. She asked for love
and he gave her a stone. And l
thought as I pOndered over the whole
scene that if some of the loving
words he was pouring into the dead
ear had been uttered in life, and if
some of the dollars he had spent on
the coffin had been invested in a way
to make life and body easier and less
tOil-wOrn, she would have been the
happy-faced wife and mother of the
home circle instead of sleeping alone
under the cedars and among the
white monuments on the hillside.
What we want is kindness in life,
and not in death. 1t is not flowers
scattered on her coffin-lid that will
make a woman happy, but a bunch
of them tied together in the form Of
a bouquet and given her with the
words, 4 love you" That makes
her pulses leap, the crimson come
into her cheek, the light come into
her eye, and the warm, happy feel
ing rush to her heart.
We want kindness shown us in
this life. This is what our servants
look for; this is what the children
need-they crave to be treated gently
and kindly in life, not wept over in
death. Hearts everywhere cry,
Treat me lovingly now" When
dead we do not hear the cries Of
affection around the coffin, or feel
the tears dripping from Overlooking
eyes on our faces. Be kind now

FOE JUST ONE DAY.

If 1 could live to God for just one
day,
One blessed day, from rosy dawn
of light
Till purple twilight deepened into
night
A day of faith u~nfaltering, trust
complete,
Of love unfeigned and perfect
charity,
Of hope undimmed, of courage past
dismay,
OF heavenly peace, patient hu-
mility-
No hint of duty to constrain my
feet,
No dream of cas- to lun to listless-
ness,
Within my hearth no root of bit
ternesS,
No yielding to temptations subtle
sway
Methinks, in that one day would so
expand
My soul to meet such holy, high
demand
me bound
This shriveling husk of self that
wraps me round.
So might 1 henceforth live to God
Away.
