LAST SERMON OF REV..
Mr.. NORTHRUp'S SERIES

Rev. James II. Northrup preached
the last of his series of five sermons
on Religion" last night at the First
Presbyterian church. The subject of
the sermon was Religion in
Church" 2"
Rev. Mr.. Northrup said that a per-
sons duty in the religious life con-
sists of two parts, worship and SER
vice. People go to church to worship
and get inspiration for their service
outside of church. Too many people,
said the pastor, confuse worship and
service, and think that, after they
have worshipped they have served.
Mr.. Northrup said that people should
think more about the inspiration they
are to receive from q sermon than
of it's length. He said that the
preachers of today are thoroughly
scared by the criticism of their con-
gregations, and they will preach short
sermons nearly every time. 1t is on
ly the young preachers in their au-
dacity and the old ones in their stu
pidity who dare to preach long SER
mons.
Miss Elsa Geist was baptized by
Rev. Mr.. Northrup at last nights
service.

The Largest Throng on Record At
tended Big Hospital Benefit
Here Saturday Night.
HOSPITAL MAY GET OVER $1,000

Saturday night proved to be the
carnival's most successful night in
this city. The grounds were crowded
throughout the evening and Smith
street, from State street to the
grounds, was filled with people
going to or from the carnival.

CITY OFFICIALS MADE INSPECTION
OF THE SANITARY CONDITIONS HERE.
The Party Viewed
Various Parts
Of the City.
few NUISANCES

Mayor Bollschweiler, together with
Inspector Corltandt e. Brewster and
Health Commissioners Quick and St.
John made a tour of the city Sat-
urday afternoon. Those parts of the
city where it was known that nuisan-
ces exist were gone over and the mat
ters carefully looked into.
The party started out shortly af-
ter noon and visited the northern
section of the city, the western sec
tion and the old dumping grounds
along the Central railroad tracks.
The mayor and health commissioners
found the city in much better condi-
tion than they had expected. They
found the northern part, near the
end of Catherine, Cortland and
Charles streets the worst of any part
of the city. The nuisance there is
mainly due to the fact that no sewer
age system exists. The Board of Al
dermen has contracted for sewers
there and the owners of property on
these streets have signified their will
lingness to make the necessary taps
to the buildings.
Other nuisances in this section
such as keeping pigs, cows and other
animals in back yards and upon the
streets will be a more difficult prob
lem to solve and will take some time.
The mayor held several discussions
with property owners and learned of
conditions as they were among the
North Amboy property owners.
After their visit to North Amboy
the officials inspected the western
section Of the city and the site of the
new trunk sewer. The conditions
here are fairly. good and will be
greatly improved upon when the
sewer has been constructed. The old
Second street dumping ground was
also inspected, as was the present site
on Johnstone street. AT the latter
place 1t was found that the contract
ors are living up to their agreement
by constantly filling in with earth.
The surroundings of schools No. 5
and 6 were carefully looked over, and
the dump at the end of Catherine
street was found to be in poor condi-
tion. A number of lots which are be-
low grade and in unsanitary condi-
tion were found, and the owners will
be notified to abate the nuisance eth
er by filing in or other means. A
short street between Fayette and
Smith, which is in bad condition,
may be relieved soon by private
sewer
At meeting of the Board of
Health tomorrow night Inspector
Brewster will probably make report
of the trip. Commencing June / and
through July and August there will
be two sessions a month of the health
board, according to the rules.
