PREACHED AT ST. ANDREWS
Topic of the Rev. w. B. Beach Was

The Rev. William b. Beach, assistant
rector Of St. Johns Church, preached
in St. Andrews Church yesterday
morning. His topic was God Is Love-"
and in part he said;
"The popular idea Of punishment con-
ficts with The truth Of Gods love.
Doubtless the most of you were shocked
by reading the announcement that
certain minister was to preach on the
topic Are There Babies in He'll? and
possibly you we're more shocked to
find that a reply was made soon after
by the minister of another church, con-
tradicting the formers liberality of
thought when he questioned whether
an unbaptized baby went to hell.
What a travesty on Christs mean
ing is this Internal conception of an
Internal hell. Christs word 'Hsdes'
should have never been translated 10
hell and 'Gehenna' cannot mean more
than a symbol of annihilation."

A Road Controversy,

West Deptford township has road con-
trovesy on its hands, growing out of Free
holder Joyce's men blowing close to the
unfenced road which forms the Southern
boundry to his farm. As soon as Mr..
Joyce learned that his men had imposed on
the highway he agreed to scrape the road
and put it in good shape, but this did not
meet the approval of all the people inter-
ested, and the Township Committee is en-
gagged in the interesting task of finding the
lines of a remote road as old as Old Dept
ford township. The road in question is the
old Teatown road, from the toll-gate to
Mantua Grove, parallel with the turnpike.
An old citizen informs us that this road
was laid out six rods wide, and if the origi-
nal lines are restored, the present inhabi-
tants of West Deptford won't know the
place after the job is complete.
