 At the Grand avenue Baptist church yesterday morning large congrega- ton listened to an excellent sermon by the pastor, the Rev. E. W. Stone, on Christ Glorified in His People" Text: q Am Glorified in Them" In the progress of his sermon the preacher spoke of the influence of the daily press and said:
 You have noticed in the last few years that the daily newspapers are giving greater space to sermons and other religious matter. Have you ever thought to ask why this is so? < l have not the pleasure of knowing any of the editors, nor have I talked with them, but I am inclined to believe that this. phenomenon is due to the strong words of strong men who acknowledge Gods hand in our progress and devel- opment in peace and our victories in war, thus revealing the best thought and feeling of the best men and women of our nation and of the. world. Ever on the alert as they are, they provide hn of fhnip A newspapers shows the characters of it's readers as we'll as the character of those who make it. Thus are these men of God honoring Him far and wide by owning it their faith that His hand is in all the mercies that come to us as a people and as 8 nation.
 After the battle of Santiago five years ago, a prayer meeting was held on the deck of the Texas. A strange as the roar of cannon had ceased and the smoke of battle had lifted, Cap tain Phillip called his men on deck and said: I want to confess that I believe that God has given us the victory. I want you men to uncover while l thank Him.
 '"The wires were carrying to the four quarters of the earth the tidings that the victory was due to , the superior gunnery of the American navy. But on the deck of the Texas the captain who was in the very thick of the fight was giving praise for 1t to the God of battle.
 "The other day ex-President Cleve- land at St. Louis in magnificent ad- dress declared his belief that we owe to the Lord God all the splendid prog ress and development of the last one hundred years. The statesman ac- knowledged God in the prosperity of his country"
 Quite a little interest is manifested in the annual election of the borough of Fair Haven East, which occurs to- day The present warden, Willett H. Kellogg, did not desire a renomination and George K. Clark, who has served as burgess was substituted as the nominee. All but two of the remaining burgess were renominated. The nomi- nations on Thursday evening were made by a committee appointed by the caucus and no objection was made at the time, but since a murmur of disap- proval has been heard, the objectors claiming that nominations should have been made from the floor. There has been some talk of putting another ticket in the field and possibly this will be done to-day, although it is not certain. The adjourned borough meet ing will occur the first Monday even- ing in June, at which time the reports are made and the annual tatx voted The present tax is five mills and it is understood that an attempt will be made to increase it to seven mills. It is believed that the effect of higher taxes would be to create sentiment in favor of doing away with the bor- ough and securing all city improve ments Many claim that better fire and police service are demanded and if taxes are to be raised it would be just as well to pay the full city tax. There is a growing sentiment in favor of full connection with the city and it is be- lieved this will be had ere long. The citizens ticket to be voted on to-day is as follows:
 For warden. George K. Clark; for burgess, Arthur B. Brown, Charles E.. Huntley, Walter D. Crockett, Edward
