ADMONITION TO PREACHER.

ASBURY PARK, Oct. 15.-Declaring
that God had to break his rib to make
him come home to carry on a revival
that was plainly developing at the
time he went away, the Rev. M. "
McDuffie, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, has announced that revival
services will begin in his church next
Sunday Doctor McDuffie went to
mountain retreat in the Catskills last
week. Two days later he was thrown
from a bicycle and a rib was broken.
He now says that the revival spirit
in his church was keen at the time
he left, but the services were deferred
for his vacation. The minister now
says that it was case of the whale
swallowing Jonah, while running
away from his duty Doctor McDuf-
fie is the minister who made such
strong fight against license here last
spring
