"NIOral earthquakes"

New Brunswick, n. j., May 29.-
Rev. Lawrence Newman, pastor Of the
Tabernacle Baptist Church, at South
River, created a sensation in his sermon
last night, on "Moral Earthquakes"
shaking communities. His text was
job, 13, Is, "Though ye Stay me yet
will trust in Him." The pastor de-
clared that the Rev. Cordova, who al
legged to have eloped last week with Miss
Julia Bovine, a choir singer in his
church, was not the man but mon
strosity, a freak to whom Barnum's lion
faced boy or bearded lady were not to be
compared. Wild beasts, he said, pro-
tected their offspring, but this freak of a
Methodist minister entered the home of
his dearest friend, plucked the choicest
lamb, stole her honor, deserted his little
ones, his wife and his church. The
pastor declared it was not love that
prompted Cordova to do this; it was un-
comfortable beastly passion.

tirement will arouse the frontier tribes
and force a campaign for the conquest OF
the whole Himilayan Hinterland. The
task will prove an intellectually difficult
