II CHANGED that i'm the chamber

storm. we're walked by the blowing
omen of the lattice as the wind reach

first made his way 10 the window.
The lattice hung by one leathern
thong. The other had been torn away
and indeed it was a wonder that the
whole framework had not been blown
bodily into the room. For the tenn

the north, and the sticky spray from

Nevertheless he thrust his head out.

eyelids and then cried, "Jorian. we
are surely lost The sea is breaking
in upon us. It has passed the beach
of single out there."
And selling Jorian by the arm Boris
made his way to the door by which
they had entered. and undoing the
bolts, they reached the walled court
yard, where, however. they found
themselves in the open air, but shell

tempest. But the instant Boris head
was above the copestone, and the ice
cold northerly blast met him like q

onslaught of the storm seemed tC

In another moment Jorian was be

wall to save himself from being car

Mr.. and Mrs. A. FL. Higbee will leave
their Somers Point home on SatuY-
day for a four weeks trip to Colo
RADIO. Their particular objective
point is Grand Junction, where their
son has been located for about one
year In quest of renewed health. The
son has realized the object of his
search to such an extent that his
father feels that the young man
should have permanent home In his
adopted State, and fruit farm may
be purchased thtre.
Mr.. Higbee's worth to the corpor
alton he represents, the Prudential
Insurance Co.. is indicated by. the
length OF the leave OF absence granted
him-four weeks. He has held an ex-
ecutive local position for seven years
and during that time there has not
been q cent OF deficiency in his ac-
counts. Mr.. Higbee is also real estate
assessor of the first ward OF Somers
Point, and Is one of the ablest mem
beYs OF the County Board Of Chosen
Freeholders.
We trust his trip may not prove
disappointing and that his probable
venture may meet with every success

penses OF the transaction.
A check for $4O27.O1 has been turned
over to Collector Adams by Solicitor
Ashmead,. received from Receiver
Clawson, of the Suburban Traction
Co., for 1906 taxes. The sum repre-
sents the full amount due the Bor-
ough with per cent. interest; ac
cordingly, as the remaining note In
bank is due on Aug. 10, the Collector
was instructed TO use $4,000 OF the
new money to satisfy the banks
craving.
Solicitor Ashmead was present to
enlighten the CoUncilmen on a few
subjects, one OF them relates to the
fee of election officers at special elec
tions, such as will be held on Aug. 90
The Solicitor said that inasmuch as
q registry day is uncalled for in view
OF this event, the officers will only
perform work on one day and are
therefore entitled to receive but 81.
A lengthy opinion from the Solicit
tor appears in an adjoining column
relation to the legal right OF Atlantic
City bottlers to vend beer in this
Borough. By this opinion 1t will be
seen that previous proceedings of
this nature are entirely illegal. The
law plainly makes it incumbent
upon the Mayor and Council to OBJ
tain evidence against the bottlert
and to prosecute them.
Petitioners against the continua-
tion OF the place known as Oak Grove
Park failed to appear, but the pro-
prietor, Mr.. Jones, was there, and
his .forceful, frank stat .ments and
promises convinced the Councjlmen
that he harbors only the best inten-
tions. No evidence was produced to
the Councilmen that there was any
rioting or disorderly conduct in the
place last Thursday night, but there
was sufficient testimony that the
boisterous colored people had been
frequenting a nearby amusement pa
vilion. The matter was accordingly
held In allegiance until time comes
when Mr.. Jones fails to maintain
order in his park.

1t seems to us that those fellows
who are fighting Mormons with the
idea of DISCRIMINATING that system of
religion are really doing more to pro-
pogate it than all other influences
combined. The past iour years Nor
monism has received more free adj
vertising that all the other religious
systems in the United States COM
bined, and to make things worse for
the anti Mormons the popular inn
preston is that in the triumph of
Senator Smoot Mormonism has tri-
umphed, and one of the most influen-
tial members of the United States
senate is recorded as having said i'll
substance that. Mormonism stood in
the front ranks of christian religions.
The way to beat Mormonism is to
let it severely alone. This agitation
has given it the biggest boost it ever
had. Now Leilich, Wishard, Paden
ct al may gnash their teeth for they
have done it. And yet Senator
Shoots triumph is not triumph OF
any religion. 1t is triumph for toll
Grafton, justice and common sense,
but the Mormon church will get the
benefit of it in the public mind.

Of the tremendous import of the fact
that Jesus never preached but one
sermon in all His life, and never re-
peated that; far less than one-fiftieth
part of His active life was given to
the letter of the Gospel, and all the
balance of it to its spirit, to it's prac-
tical application, to doing, not saying,
to healing the withered hands of men,
to breaking the jaws or death, and CIV
ings the sons and, daughters of men
back to life and love and hope And
so in the example of this ministering
messenger of God do we not find
the cheering consolation to yours and
mine, VIZ, that although we may not
have the tongue to tell the sweet story
that Jesus came to tell, still, if we
but extend a cup of cold water in His
name, we will preach the same sweet
Gospel that the loving Son of God
preached, and preach it precisely the
same way? Learn indeed, may we not,
from the works of Jesus that you and
l were included in His declaration to
one who questioned whether he had
earned the redemption the Master came
to bring, and in the midnight of his
doubt cried out to the Savior, when
saw thee hungry and gave thee to
eat, naked and clothed thee, sick and
ministered unto thee? And by and by
the still small voice that speaks to
you and to me tonight, and has spoken
to our fathers through all the ages
gone, made reply: "Inasmuch as We
have done 1t unto one of the least of
these my brethren, We have done it un-
to me-" And this religion of works,
of help, Of love, is the redemption that
Jesus brought to the world, and by
the sweetest and hottest ministry
humanity has known, impressed upon,
left, with the world.
Mrs. Eddy's Teaching.
And now one word about Hrs. Eddy,
the great woman who has with rare
devotion to humanity and marvellous
spiritual conception restored to the
world an abiding sense of the sweet
ness. love and healing power incident
' to unfaltering reliance upon God. Mrs.
Eddy does not seek adulation, she
protests against It; her effort is not
for self. The sweetest passage in her
marvellous teaching impresses the ne
cation Of self, glorifies the love of God
and the love of men. She does not
claim to have discovered the healing
power, but simply to have found in
Gods word the means whereby every
weary child of earth may successfully
invoke that power. 1t is her "Key
to the Scriptures" that makes her
contribution to humanity absolutely
exhaustless and absolutely imperish-
able-reverently I say imperIshable;
good 10 imperishable.

and your little children will tell you
that until His purpose is observed
no medicine of man will make you
well.
Our contention is that God is good,
and that, if good at all is infinitely
good, for there is none other beside
Him." that if infinitely good at any
time He is infinitely good always and
everywhere, for He is everywhere and
without the shadow of turning"
Christian Scientists believe that
when Jesus went into the synagogue
on the Sabbath day, and read from the
prohecy of Esaiss concerning Himself,
a prophecy written hundreds Of years
before His coming, telling of His COM
ing, and of the Office He should hold
when he came, wherein it is written:
1.-The spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because He hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent
me to heal the broken-hearted, to
preach deliverances to the captives.
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruis-
ed" and closing the book, Jesus the
Christ said to His congregation: "This
day is this Scripture fulfilled in your
ears"
Now tell me, good people, for no one
wants to be mistaken about matter
of such vital import as this, If Christ
ian Science is a myth, that will go out
with the dawn of tomorrow's sun, then
Christian Scientists all round the
globe want to know that fact. and
know it tonight, II may be. And on
the other hand. II Christian science
is the sweet story that Jesus came to
tell, then you good people, of the old
churches l am sure, want to know
that fact, and know it tonight, II may
be. Then answer to yourself when
you are alone with your conscience:
Is there longer any reason for you or
for me to question what the mission
of Jesus into this world was-with
this prophecy concerning His coming
and the declaration Of Jesus that the
prophecy. was fulfilled by His own
presence in the world. can you or I
hesitate longer to believe that His
great mission from the Father was to
preach the gospel. and to heal the
sick, and almost may we not say to
preach the gospel by healing the sick?
And IL anything were lacking in our
minds to establish this last PROPOSE
ton would 1t not be abundantly COM
pensated in the sweet life of Jesus
in the world; and may we not learn
from that life Of works of sympathy
and kindness. and unfaltering minis
try, Just what His thought was Of the
redemption He brought. and His own
way Of giving it to the world?
Preaching the Gospel.
Have you ever thought for q moment
