Another Big Freshet.
THE mon WATER CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE.
HOUSES, CELLARS, YARDS AND STREETS
FILLED WITH WATER.

About $50 o'clock Monday morning
the ice in the Delaware river at this
place began TO move and the water
rose rapidly. Residents along Lam
bert ST. eet, fearing a repetition Of the
October flood, had been preparing for
the past few days and Monday morn
ing their household effects were
hastily taken away to places of safety.
The immense quantity of ice in the
river the greater part of the day was
a sight to behold. The old piers of
the bridge taken away by the last
freshet were covered with blocks of
ice and huge piles were thrown upon
the banks of the river.
Below the outlet locks the Pennsyl-
vauia Railroad trucks were submerged
with water and tons upon tons Of ice
by ten o'clock III the morning.
Division Telegram Operator William
Fl. Wilmot and assistants had instru-
ments along the tracks below town
aud was in constant communication
with the Superintendent office
Owing to the overflow of the water
from the river into the canal, and the
backing of the water into the plant
of the Lambertville Rubber Manu-
featuring Company, the works were
compelled to shut down before noon.
The backing of the water into Swan
Creek caused that stream to oyeretow
aud Swan street and Union street in
that neIghborhood were filled with
water, causing number Of families
to vacate their houses.
The back yards and cellars OF resi-
dences on Ferry street were filled 10
OVERLOOKING with water.
In the upper portion Of town the
water has also caused serious damage.
The old base ball grounds are sub
merged and cellars and ynrds are full
of mud and water.
1t is reported that there is no ice
above Stockton, consequently any fur-
Their damage from ice need not be an
ticipated in this neigh borhood
The water arose TO within three on
four feet of the high water mark Of
the October food, but this is said To
be the greatest ice freshet ever known
here.
Trains were delayed throughout
the day and no communication Of any
kind could be had between this city
and New Hope.

Extract of sermon by Loren NJ. Reno
in tho Ringoes Baptist Church Feb. "a,
1904.
what then shall | do with Jesus
who is called the Christ. Matt 21;22
The question comes from Pilot
Christ is ON trial before him and after
the people demanding the release of
Barabas he asks them .What then
shall do with Jesus who is Christie
They had disposed of the murderer
but the Messiah was still before them.
Neither WAS the trial of Jesus closed

night do with this Jesus of history
who is called the Christ, Messiah, APP
pointed of God? This is the worlds
greatest problem.
Before you answer this question let
us consider few things.
l. Who is this Jesus?
/. He thought he was the Son of
God Around this claim arose all the
opposition which finally brought him
to Calvary. He claimed Divinity.
Did he have it or was he deluded
crank. or was he deceiving impostor2
One of these three certainly. In the
light of his life viewed now with i'm.
passiuned vision and with nearly 1900
years of reflection and thought let us
answer.
. God said he was his Son. At
his baptism Gods yoide spoke clearly
"rhis is my beloved son in whom ]
am we'll pleased . Amid the glory OF
his TRANSPORTATION Gods voice again
declares to his followers This is my
beloved Son hear ye him
II Let us note his influence Oh the
world
need only refer the student Of his
tory to the condition Of the world be-
fore his coming and now. | need only
point the reader oil missions to the
change of lands where his gospel Is
now going. need only ask any one
of yon to note thai transformation of
character which eneh enc Of us have
seen in the lives of men aud women we
have known.
III Before We answer this question
let MS see His claim upon us.
II is an ethical truth that ! need moi
stop To prove thai "men are Mt the top
spiritual beings Tint "man ~ re-
ligious animal Theirs as no beng
in all the religions of the world 10
compare with Jesus the Christ, the
revelation of our God Because Of
his prominence OF worth he has II
claim upon us His claim is height
in that he stood the trial before Pilot.
Suffered the rejection AT the hands of
his people that he came to bless And
finally submitted to all that followed
in order to provide II salvation for us
and to demonstrate to us his preemn-
emf claim to our service.
But in connection with his claims
let us notice that they are all recon-
pensive Not one bnt carries with it
n reward exceeding the demand
what then will You do with Jesus
who Is called the Christie" This do
take him into Your life. enthrone him
in your heart, give him dominion over
your actions He will become the
crown of your manhood or your
womanhood He will be the strength
of your old age
