The FooT PATH TO PEACE.

To be glad of life because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your pos
sessions, but not contented with your
self until you have made the best Of
them; to despise nothing in the world
except falsehood and meanness, and
to fear nothing except oowardice; to
be governed by your admirations ra-
ther than by your disgusts; to covet
nothing that is your neighbours ex-
cept his kindness of heart and gentle
ness Of manners; to think seldom of
your enemies, often of your friends,
and every day of Christ and to spend
rs much time as you can, with body
and with spirit, in Gods out-of-doors
these are little guide-posts on the
footpath to peace. Rev. Henry Van
Dyke in the Outlook.

Holiday Dance at Hospital.

A party of a very enjoyable charac-
ter was given at the State Hospital
by the junior members of the medical
staff on Friday evening last. 1t is
seldom that the hospital is the scene
of gayety and pleasure, but on this
occasion it was. The worrying cares
of life seemed to have been laid aside
for few short hours, and everything
had the appearance of mirth and
gladness ..The guests began to ar
rive about z O'Clock, and about 8
o'clock all repaired to the amuse-
ment hall, where dancing. which was
the principal amusement of thel even
ing, commenced. The hall is large
enough to accommodate several hun
dred people when closely seated. On
this occasion, however, it's regular fur
niture, which consists principally of
PLAIN benches, was removed. and
replaced by elegant settees, chairs,
couches, etc. The floor beneath
these was covered with rugs. This,
together with tasteful distribution
of plants and evergreens, and an ar
tistic and beautiful decoration, gave
the place home-like and cozy APP
pearanoe; and although there were
only about 100 in the party the hall
did mot seem too large and empty, as
it would have seemed but for such
decoration and furnishing.
Among the guests were the follow
ing

The Christmas exercises of the First
Presbyterian Church Sunday School
held Monday evening were the most
successful and interesting ever held
under the auspices of that organization.
The church was we'll filed with mem
bers and friends of the school to hear
the address delivered by Rev. Milton
$. Littlefeld, of New York who was a
scholar in the Sunday School twenty
four years ago. The music by the school
orchestra and the recitations by the diff
ferent members were particularly fine.
Following the exercises refreshments
were served the scholars in the chapel
where Christmas tree had been trimm-
ed. Santa Claus as usual made his ap-
pearance much to the delight of the
little ones.

In common with several Of the local
Sunday Schools the entertainment Of
the South Street Presbyterian Church
was held on Friday night. The school
marched from its rooms into the
church which had been decorated for
the occasion. In the pulpit were Supt.
Vernon, Assist. Superintendent Hoff-
man and Eaton, Secretary Haven and
Treasurer John l.. Talmadge. A num-
Der of songs appropriate to the ocoa-
sion were well rendered under the
leadership of Mr.. Eaton while the ex-
ercises by the Primary Department
and intermediate were very interest
ing. DIR. Erdman made brief ad-
dress in which he explained the true
meaning of Christmas giving. Each
class was represented among the gifts
which were deposited in front of the
platform and which were later sent to
the poor children in New York City.
The program completed, the school
marched back to the Sunday School

had been placed prettily decorated.

The first steps in the long expected
suit for heavy damages against the
oity of Paterson which property hold
ers along both sides Of the Passaic
River claim as an effect of the
streams pollution. were taken at
Trenton on Monday when volumin-
ous bill of complaint in the court of
Chancery was filed.
Approximately the damages de-
manded are between 50, 0OC, 900 and
50. 600, 600, and in addition to the
prayer for pecuniary reparation, the
papers seek a permanent order of the
court enjoining the Paterson author
tiles from emptying the oity's sewage
into the already contaminated river
The picture of the proposed new
station and elevated tracks for the
Lackawanna Railroad at Newark
which we publish on an other page is
an indication that this railroad is in
earnest in its determination to abolish
grade crossings along its line The
drawing gives very fair idea of the
appearance of the Morristown depot
after the tracks have been raised, al
though of course, the buildings here
will be smaller and possibly not quite
so pretentious. 1t will be noticed that
there are three lines of rails, the third
line being the through line in course
of construction which is to be used
for express trains during rush hours,
eastbound in the morning and west
bound in the afternoon.

A straw indicating that financial
prosperous years are not the best
years for the churches is afforded by
the decreased incomes of most princi-
pal religious bodies. This is most
marked among Episcopalians, who
gave this year 81. 800, 900 less toward
their own support than on the proceed
ing year. This falling off is.a Little
more than made good by the increase
by Presbyterians, but this years fig
ures of six large bodies, indicative of
all, show that either there has been a
falling off of income or that barely
old figures have been maintained.
Here are the total contributions, to all
purposes, for the bodies named last
