OTHER REPAIRS NEEDED.

Now that the hole in the path
along the bluff is to receive atten-
ton, WHY NOT THE OTHER
DANGER SPOTS ALONG WATER
STREET?
The city has admitted its respon-
sibility by doing as much as 1t has,
it can therefore be held liable for
any damage done because of a lack
of proper safeguards or repairs.
This is something the city cannot
afford to ignore.
Che man has lost his life at this
place. He has no relatives to take
action In the matter.
This should be a WARNING. We
now know what can happen and Is
very liable to happen.
The time to make repairs is
NOW so that no more lives may be
lost.

:C0UNTY SMALL ENOUGH.

Judging from experiences with
Areeholders, the state has nothing to
gain by returning to the old custom
of electing assemblymen by dis
tricts. In Middlesex we had just de-
cided to abolish the old Board of
Chosen Freeholders which were
chosen from separate districts and
elect:ng a board from the county at
large. We expect a decided change
for the better.
If this is true in the county board
why not in the county representa-
ton in the state legislature?
As the Trenton Times remarks:
ut is interesting to note that
some of the advocates of the district
plan argue that a better class OF as
semblymen will be secured thereby.
That same argument was made eleV-
en- years ago in favor of electing as
semblymen by the voters of the
whole county"
A county is a small enough divis-
ion to choose state lawmakers. The
present plan is good enough. All
that is needed is cleaner politics and
We seem in a fair way to get that
now.

Duty of the Church.

Arthur T. Hadley, President of Yale. in the hide
peGGent.
Here is the great vital need for the church:
NOT to make the American people law
ABIDING and intelligent-that it is already
not even to make il kindly and courteous
ana lndustrious-these virtues we have, If
not In Ideal measure, at any rate sufficient
~ for many of the practical purposes of
me- put TO light with all its heart and with
all It's soul that dangerous spirit of selfish
isolation which encourages a man to take
whatever the law allows and most approves
the man who has taken most. Today, as
well as two thousand years ago, we have
our Pharisees and our scrbes, who rest
content with the law and what it brings.
Today also, as two thousand years ago, we
have our false prophets who seek to
remeGy the errors of a kingdom of the
world by another kingdom of the world,
whose powers shall simply be transferred
from the hands of the conserva tives to
those OF the radicals. 1t sometimes seems
as though all efforts at reform We're re-
duc1ng themselves to an endless struggle
between those who, having more money
than votes, are anxious to have the rights
OF property maintained by the courts and
those who, having more votes than money,
are anxious to have those rights impaired
by the legislature or transferred to the
hands of elected magistrates. From no
such blind struggle can any true reform
come. There must be a sense, both on the
part OF the business man and the politician,
on the part of those who have and on the
part of those who desire to have, that
power is trust and not a privilege; that
life is to be valued not for what it enables
us to get out of the people but for what 1t
enables us to give to the people in the way
of service This was Christs message nine
teen centuries ago. This is the message Of
every true prophet.

The Surprise Of Jesus
at OR Unbelief

''Iave we not yet faith?'-Mark, iv:4o.
This is a question of surprise on the lips
of Jesus He is frankly astonished at their
lack of faith And evidently disappointed
as we'll One cannot overlook the quality of
gentle rebuke In His words; and who can
doubt that it was even clearer in His tone
and manner? Have we not yet faith?'
This implies that He had not expected
faith of them at the beginning.
But as their observation of Him and
acquaintance with Him grow, he quite
rightly expects from them growing faith.
Let us keep our minds free of all technical,
or mystical, meaning of this word and I'M
derstand it in an entirely natural and real
way. 1t means confidence in ones fnteg-
rity: reliance upon ones ability or power;
trust in ones character as genuine, gem
erous. just, loving. Assuming you to be all

that the better ] know you, the more con-

meanor. so that only long and intimate ac-
Quaintance reveals the worth of your spirit.
But in either case, trust must grow. You
cannot be so winning-no man or woman is
that l can place full reliance upon you at
first sight.
Now, beyond doubt Jesus was of the for
mer sort. His heart revealed itself in His
face. Otherwise plain people would not
have been so irresistibly drawn to Him, and
especially children, whose instinct as to
character is practically infallible. So far
as we can judge, no one with an unpreju-
diced mind ever approached Him without at
once falling in love with Him.
Now, for many months the disciples had
been living with Him in the closest in
timacy. They had forsallen all to be with
Him-business, home, friends, neighbors.
We do not always reflect how close an in
timacy this meant. But really none could
be closer. And even a little of this avails
more for accurate knowledge than years of
social and formal aCquaintanceship. We

ance the congregations grew in size. Then
Rev. DR. Randolph II. McKim, the promi-
nent rector OF the Church of the Epiphany,
took charge of the work, and sent Rev.
Herbert Scott Smith, now rector of st.
Margaret's Church. to preach to the people.
Mr.. Smith saw a still more rapid growth,
until in 1897 the congregation was ready,
with little help, to secure a new building
at 40S ii street northeast, which was orig
inally intended for bar room, but which
was never occupied as such. The first
floor was fitted up for the mission services
by the members of the congregation with
their own hands. This building is now oc-
cupied by Mr.. Stetson and his associate.
Rev. Mr.. Abbott the clergy house.
1t was in the year $685. in the spring,
that Mr.. Stetson took up the work. The
following spring Mr.. Smith left. For
time after this Rev p. NJ. Rhinlander, now
a professor in the Berkley Divinity School,
Middleton, Conn, worked with Mr.. Stet-
son. In the spring of 1900 enough money
was collected and donated to enable the
people to purchase a piece of ground on
9Th street, on which the present building
now stands. An open-air service was held
here, and Bishop Satterlee dedicated the
lot to the service of God.
More money was raised, and in 1901 the
Church building was commenced on the
plans of Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson. Bos-
ton architects. Only one story was COM
pleted and rooted over, but the foundation
is well constructed, so that at any time the
roof may be removed and the church raised
TO the proposed height. Now 1t seats 300.
The winter after the church was occupied
the congregation doubled, and today IL
averages about 200 Three choirs have
been organized-a boys senior and boys
junior, and a girls choir. A new clergy
house and parish hall are now in progress
of construction, and will probably be ready
for use by May l next. They are Sit
uated on the corner of 9th and L streets
and, together with the chapel, make total
fronta ge. of 1G0 feet.
Rev. c. r. Stetson is a native of Boston.
He graduated from Harvard and then stud
led medicine for a time at Johns Hopkins
University. He went to the Virginia fheo-
logical Seminary for one year, and In 1898
graduated from the General Theological
Seminary of New York city. He has had
remarkable success with his first charge

Mr. Stetson is a graduate of Columbia
University and the General Theological
Seminary, New York city

with this one are one at Benning, d. G,
and the Addison Chapel at Chesapeake

The spirit of materialism seems to be up

which there is too much ardent worship.
The developer of wealth is useful; the mere
money-getter is of little benefit to anybody,
and is in no sense an inspiring picture or

of Yale declared:
There is no danger that the country will

we do need to fear is the possibility of
lack of public-spirited men who think not Of

Teddy Roosevelt jr., the Presidents
Oldest son, has been teaching Sunday
school class in a little Episcopal chapel
on the edge of Washington ever since last
September. President Roosevelt has been
making quiet visits to the mission on spe-
cial occasions, and Mrs. Roosevelt has
made a habit of attending the services once
or twice a month-and scarcely a rumor of
all these happenings has been scented by
the general public. This is passing strange,
for the people of the capital city can easily
recognize the chief executive, and the White
House is nearly always besieged by num-
bers of newspaper men. But for once, at
least, during considerable length of time,
the President and his family have outwit
ted the public.
1t may seem hard to explain how the
President could go to a church in Wash
ington, and that his son and wife should
attend with some regularity without the
members of the church letting the cat out
of the bag but it is not so hard as 1t
seems. A deliberate effort has been made
to keep the matter a secret. The church
is the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, mis-
sion of the Cathedral of st. Peter and st.
Paul, situated on 9th street northeast be-
tween Fl and l streets. This is right on a
side street near the railroad and not easily
noticed. The congregation is comparatively

has found that there is an utter lack or
moral training in many of the homes and
that it is necessary for officials to pay some
attention to this matter. With this end IN
view arrangements have been made for a
meeting of the children to be held in the
rooms of the Central Union Mission the
first Sunday of each month. There is to be
nothing in the nature of Sectarlanlsm about
the meetings. Addresses are to be MADE
by representative business men and others,
and there will be a musical feature to at
tract the children. The work in the homes
has been productive of gratifying results
and has brought the probation ofhcer IN
closer contact with the parents. This work
has been followed by getting employment
for many of the boys. Through the KIND
ness of Prof B. T. Galloway of the Agricul-
tural Department the probation of1cer has
been able TO distribute seed and bulps 10
the children. Later in the season they are
to have a flower show and prizes are to
be given. Mr. Copp is greatly interested in
this branch of the service and expects 10
