The Mission of the Church

The clouds on Thursday morning gave
promise of an ~unpropitious day, but
when they rolled by and the noon hour
came the people swarnled as thick and
fast as III former years to Sheble's grove
and five hundred were fed on chicken
potpie, at st. Paul's Harvest Home.
At 8 O'Clock Rev. Robert Forbes, o
Philadelphia, assistant secretary OF the
M. E. Church Extension Society gave an
interesting talk on the work of the Church
which was interspersed with humor.
Among other good things he said:
1t is our duty not only to keep the
soul right but the body out of trouble.
When the body ceased to do wrong and
does goodly acts II is near to righteous
ness. 1t is the business of the Church
not to save souls for heaven, but to save
the people from their sins, to be right and
do good here. He'll is not the great
thing to be avoided, but to avoid SIN now
and to live a life of holiness. The logical
sequence of a holy life is heaven. Christ
went about doing good. So should we.
The great question is not how do we
feel, but how do We behave ourselves.
Not how we enjoy religion but how does
your wife enjoy living with you. The
mission OF the Church is to save the peo-
pie from being wrong and to be right.
The Church is doing we'll towards saving
the world. 1t should do better, but it is
doing all that is being done. Intidelity
is not only not doing anything but is I'M
dermining the good that is being done.
An agnostic Robert Ingersoll for exam
Pile is one who does not know; one who
believe there is no God, no future life, no
heaven. An infidel never composed a
great poem, nor composed a song.
Because the people have been raised
among Christian Churches they do not
appreciate the sunlight OF the gospel. The
biggest contract the Church has is to save
the boys. More women than men are
Church members. and more men than
women are in the state prison. DON'T
measure a boys religious experience with
yours. Fill him with lofty ideas and up
hold Christ the perfect man as his exam
pie.
He thought it very indiscreet for an
evangelist to tell how bad he had been
before he was converted. Evangelism is |
aggressive, but facts prove the Protestant
Churches are not holding the young as
they should. 1t is well to found mis-
sions in Italy, but what are we doing to
convert the Italians and others who come |
to America.
He said the Methodist have 49, 900 |
churches aud IA, 1000 had been built with
aid from the Church Extension Society.
When the collection for it is taken con.
tribute literally.
When supper came 800 more were fed
and the potpie increased like the pro.
verbal loaves and fishes.
In the evening George Venting, an
elocutionist and humorist entertained a !
large audience.

A Terrific Gnst

After two weeks of dry weather which
caused the roads to get quite dusty a
heavy shower fell OH Monday between
4 and . O'Clock. The rain was heavy
with thunder and lighting but did not
last long. 1t came from the south west.
On Tuesday another gust came be-
tween 3 and 8 O'Clock, from the north
east. The thunder and tightening were fire.
quent and terrific and a heavy torrent
OF rain fell on a heavy gale which beat
INTO every crevice. Nothing was struck
by lightning and no damage done be-
You'd flooding and washing the roads.
Crops were not needing ain and the
heavy showers have made to much
moisture Tor for them to mature well.
Another heavy rain fell this Friday.

Letter to John p. Lap
PENIS Grove. NJ.

Chn , 1IoNe, Nj.
Dear Sir: Now, may be, you can't get
the goods; if you can, your fortune is made.
Cotton ~cloth-they call it muslin in
some parts--at about the usual price per
yard, but wider, twice as wide as some.
and better, wears better, keeps white and
whole a surprising time i'll all sorts of
wear.
You could sell that cloth for hundreds
OF miles; there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less yards.
Wears longer; one buys less often. 1t always
looks right till well worn-out. No one Gus
omer buys so much Of it, but think of the
number of customers!
May be you cau't get it in cloth: but
you can in paint: Devoe. Devoe is as if
1t were wider; a gallon goes further; you
buy less gallons; you pay for less gallons;
you pay for painting less gallons-as if one
paid less for making a garment of that wide
cloth-and it keeps its fresh look and sheds
water till you have forgotten how old it is.
It isn't true in cloth, but it is il paint:
the less you pay, the better it is; for the
goodness OF paint is reckoned by gallons; less
gallons, more goodness. Goodness in paint
is strength. The stronger a paint, the less
gallons it takes for a job and the longer it
wears.
Yours truly

First Third Rail Victim.

A ten year-old colored boy named Hill,
OF North Woodbury., is the first victim of
third rail on the electrified road OF the
the West Jersey and Seaslore Company.
That the lad is living is due to the fact
that only a small voltage is now on the
tracks, merely enough to operate the
lew cars being experimental with be-
tween North Woodbury. and W~estville.
Dared to put his foot Oh the rail, Hill
did so, and i'll an instant was thrown to
the ground. A physician was called,
when the boy was taken home, and it
was found his flesh on the left foot, leg
and arm was burned to the bone. He is
i'll a serious condition.
Danger signs are numerous along the
third rail between Westville and Wood
bury, where successful trials running the
new electric cars are taking place,
Too much cannot be said or done to edu-
cate the people Of the extreme danger of
the thild rail. Owing to the high voltage
1t will mean instant death to come in con-
tact with the rail or even get near it. The
rail sends out its death dealing fluid at
least three inches at any time and i'll wet
weather eight or more inches, and. the
worst Of it is, there will be no warning to
its victims. If we fall into the water, we
have a swimming chance for life; if we
are caught in the flames, there is chance
for rescue; but if we get the electric shocks
there is no hope for us except heaven.

Reed Birds Will Give Good Sport

y LA NS - ~OoNA oPOAN
There is every indication that when
the reedbird season opens next month
there will be plenty OF sport for gunners
allover South Jersey. The heavy rains
have given plenty OF food for the birds,
in fact, there is an exceptionally heavy
growth this year, and, as it is now ripen-
ing, the birds are rapidly coming North.
For a week past on the marshes in Cum
erland County there is a continual chirp-
ng.
The season for railbirds, mud hens and
all wild water fowl will open on Septem-
Der l By this time the reeds will be
fully ripe and if reedbirds are killed on
the marshes they will be nice and plump.
AS a rule railbirds are poor at the be-
ginning of the season and it takes ten
days OF two week for them to get in
condition. Mud hens, which are found
on the salt marshes, are usually in fair
condition when the season begins.
Reedbird shooting in South Jersey has
become a business to many, and, while
hundreds come this way for the sport,
there are a score of men in the vicinity
of Bridgeport alone who take up the
shooting of reedbirds for weeks. These
same men employ a corps of ''pickers"
and every hour send in the killed birds
to be dressed. These men shoot in a
systematic way. Reedbirds are easily
missed on the wing.
From Alloway Creek north on the Jer-
sey shore of the Delaware River, and
from Reedy Island north OH the Penn
sylvania side, reedhirds flock as far as
Salem Creek. In the vicinity of Bridge
port, opposite Chester, most gunners are
to be found.
When the birds are thick and fly in
focks numbers are killed at one shot.
When they are scarce single birds are
killed and this is where the loss comes
in. Gunners shooting for bu siness Sc
dom shoot at a single bird. John Smith,
of Pennsgrove, formerly Of Bridgeport,
probably holds the record for the most
dead birds from one shot when he found
ninety birds after emptying his double
barreled gun.
Early in the morning and late in the
afternoon are the best times to shoot
"reedies." These are the feeding hours.
In the middle of the day the birds are
| either down in the reeds and too wild
to approach or back in the country in
cornfields or meadows.
