tee of the Board of Education on
charges preferred by superintendent
Richard e. Clement, at the instance of
Principal William f. Little.
Professor Lester recently received mo-
tice of dismissal, to take effect on De-
cember 81. for alleged professional in
competency. He demanded a hearing,
which was refused by the school head.
The matter came to the ears of the
Hon. Peter Egenolf, the Democratic
leader of Union County, who is also a
fessor Lester was a stranger to him,
thought the young instructor was not
getting the square deal which the
distinguished Elizabethan insists every
man should have, and he investigated
the circumstances.
Mr.. Egenolf then caused an appeal
to be made to the teachers committee
member of the Democratic State Com
mittee, and Mr.. Egenolf, although Pro-
of the Board of Education, and Chair
man Alexander Kaufman has ordered
Superintendent Clement, Principal Lit

Presbyterian Church, also n Of the
city's richest congregations, have inter-
ested themselves in the cause of the
young man, whom, it is claimed, was
being "~railroaded" out of the schools.
The charges have created a great stir
at the High School, and previous to the
Thanksgiving vacation the pupils were
discussing the matter, which was given
publicity by the EVENING STAR.
Some of them even went so far as to
propose that the entire school go on an
Indignation strike"
The charges against Miss Elizabeth
Castor, of Newark, the richest teacher
in the public schools of this city, whose
uncle-guardian is vice president of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
of New York. have been withdrawn.

LAY CORNERSTONE
500 AT AT
GRACE CHURCH.
DR.. Buttz, of Drew Seminary, Makes Ad-
dress-Dr. Faulks, of Chatham, Tells
of Church's Work for Reform.

With five hundred members of the con-
gregation and friends from neighboring
churches, headed by their pastors, in the
throng the cornerstone of the neY s22,O 600
Grace M. &c. Church, at Ann street and
New York avenue was laid yesterday
morning with impressive ceremonies, fol-
lowed by q special Thanksgiving service
in the old edifce alongside the new build
ings. in which the ministers of the
churches in the vicinity participated.
The outdoor service was under the direc-
tion of the Rev. DR.. jim. Meeker, presld-
ing elder Of the Newark district, and the
dedicatory address was made by the Rev.
DR.. Henry A. Buttz, president of Drew
Theological Seminary. at Madison.
The pastor, with the visiting clergymen,
marched from the church, followed by the
officers of the various churches and the
congregation. to the scene OF the corner
stone laying.
DR.. Buttz said that he wished TO con-
graduate the people and their pastor, the
Rev. Herbert C. Lytie, on the result of
their endeavor to build a house of worship.
He said that the foundation of the church
was In humanity, and that the church was
all that humanity needed.
In referring to the collection of funds
to pay the debts incurred In erecting the
building. the speaker referred to the new
gold pieces without the motto, "1n God
We Trust
why the eagle looks like a plucked
goose declared the speaker. "It looks
lost. and I do not wonder, for II must he
lost. 1t does not know in whom to trust,
with the motto of the trust in the Omnipo-
tent power removed at the behest OF the
ruler of the nation"
DR.. Buttz suggested that as the money
was not godly, according TO his view, 1t
should not be in possession of laymen whom
it might corrupt, and he asked those in the
audience who might have any OF the gold
coins Of 1907 to give them in the collection,
so as to be rid Of the goddess and trust
less money
The cornerstone. a huge affair. weighing
close on two tons, was then swung in
place by a derrick, DIR. Meeker handed the
trowel to the pastor, saying that it was
mainly due to his efforts that the present
church was under way. MI. Lytle said
that he recognized the fact tina the union
of the two churches was due. to a great
extent, to the work of DR.. Meeker as pre-
siding elder, and that he felt 1t an bonor
TO resign the task>to him, and then with
the impressive ritual OF the church the
presiding elder laid the cornerstone.
DR.. Fauiks. of Chatham. delivered the
Thanksgiving address. He went ion TO
speak of the things that his hearers
should be thankful for; the good
crops and the general peace of the
past year. Mercy and judgment, he said,
characterized Gods dealings with men,
mercy often tempering the Judgment.
God, he asserted, was good to his children,
whether he gave OF denied them.

~permanency of what? or tn church. and

to whether the church is permanent. ! anl

and the greater the persecution the more

truth of the Bible itself. bring science and
geology to their aid. but the faith In the
church has lived on In spite of that.
The church has seen the overthrow OF
almost every great institution the world
has ever seen. Dynasties and Kingdoms
have come and gone, but the church still
stands and will continue to stand. The
church provides what all the world wants
progress Progress is represented by edu-
cation for one thing, and 1t was In the
church that education started. Literature,
another sign of progress. was also fos-
tered by the church. All that is beautiful
In art has been preserved bv the church.
Progress Is represented by characters
tics. When q man for any reuson GOES
wrong the first thing that is printed 10
the papers about him Is that he was a
member OF a church or the superintendent
of a Sunday school. Why Is that? Why
don't they tell Of something else that ne
was? 1t Is a tribute to the church that
they do not. because Il means that when a
man becomes n church member you expect
something better Of him.
What is the attitude OF the church to re-
form? The church was at the bottom in all
the great reforms of England, France and
Germany. Another reform, that OF tenn
perance, OF which / will not speak at
length. interests a great many people all
over the world. but the final blow for the
cause must be struck by the church."
Mr.. Lyle announced that about $4,000
of the $4,000 needed to complete the struc-
ture was already in hand. The dedication,
he hoped. would take place next April.
Among the articles placed in the stone
were a Bible. a roster of the congrega-
ton, coins of the mintage of 1907 and
copies of the local newspapers.
