Religion of Labor.

"Life is such a struggle to the
average workingman," said some one.
that he can't stop to be religious"
He doesn't need to. Christ didn't
come to ask men to give up their
boats and their nets and spend their
time in singing hymns. He came to
show men how to glorify God in their
common toll. The man who has to
stop his work before he can be re-
ligious isn't engaged in the right sort
of work. When one has taken the
image of Christ into his life. the
%grindstone over which he bends can
not hide Him from his vision. nor
can the roar of machinery drown the
heavenly music of his voice.
When John sought to turn the
hearts of men to the Lord, he did NOT
tell the soldier to leave his soldering.
nor the tax-gatherer his task. He
simply babe them take up the old
duties in a new way. That is the
message of Jesus to the world now.
whether therefore We eat, or drink
or whatever we do, do all to the glory
of God."-Detroit News-Tribune.

Rescue nrownine Canoists.

Herman Frank, of Singac, and Au-
gust Ramlin, of Paterson, had a mar
row escape from drowning in the
Passaic River near Two Bridges. The
young men had been out in. a canoe,
and padded up stream as far as Two
Bridges, where the Pompton River
flows into the Passaic. They went up
under the bridge over the Pompton
River, and then turned to float down.
When the junction of the two streams
was reached the canoe was caught in
a swift eddy, and began spinning
around like a top. A moment later
it vas capsized and the occupants
pitched out. Hugh Thompson, of
Roseland, and three friends, who
were rowing in a boat not far away,
heard their cries and hurried to their
rescue. They were barely in time to
save the two, both being exhausted
by the time the boat reached them.

Missing Wife Returns.

Eighty-year-old Charles Penn, of
Laurel Place, Upper Montclair, was
overjoyed when his thirty-year-old
wife, whom he had mourned as dead,
returned home. His JOY was short
lived, however. Mrs. Penn had mere
ly returned to get her clothes. The
young wife left home last September
to visit relatives in Brooklyn. After
spending a few days in Brooklyn she
started for home. A relative accom-
panied her to the Hoboken ferry, and
that was the last seen of her by her
husband. Mrs. Penn is pretty, and
her husband spent nearly $1,000 hir-
ing detectives and following up clues
which amounted to nothing. When
Mrs. Penn appeared the old nan was
almost overcome at her temperance,
and made a dash to embrace her, but
she waved him off. The o~ctogenarian
resented this treatment from his
youthful spouse and retorted in Ian
guage that led to a bitter quarrel.
The wife only got her clothes with
the aid of a policeman. She told the
police that she was going back to
Brooklyn to live with a ~brother-in-
law, with whom she had lived since
she left her husband.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
As the Law Sees Tt.

The Supreme Court has given a de-
cision in which it settles the question
as to when d building used for wor-
ship is not a church in the eyes of the
law. The decision affects the French
Baptist congregation of Paterson,
which meets in a small building on
Twelfth avenue. The church people
objected to the granting of a liquor
license to William Hunt, and con-
tended that the law prohibiting sa-
looms within 200 feet of a church edi-
fee made the Board of Aldermen
powerless to grant a license to Hunt.
The court in it's decision recognizes
the congregation as d properly incor-
porated religious organization, but
does not recognize the house in which
services r held as being within the
strict meaning of the term church
edifce." The court also holds that a
church abandoned for a period of
years is still a church within the
meaning of the act, and that the same
prohibition is effective as If the
building were actually occupied as a
place of worship. The French Bap-
fist congregation is a small one, and
uses for worship what was at one
time a private house.

sExs DECIDED BY THE WEAKER PARENT, SCIENTIST SAYS
DR.. Ronne Supports His Discovery Of Natures
Law With Statistics That Seemingly
Prove His Theory.
30 BOYS ARE BORN TO EVERY los GIRLS
Proportion Found Identical i'm All Countries Except
After a Great War.

London.-Dr. Ropme, the eminent
psychologist, has compiled statistics
which prove, he maintains, that a boy
is born when the father is the weaker
of the two parents and a girl when
the mother is the weaker partner.
DR.. Romme has been investigating
the question of sex for many years,
and his announcement of the law as
he has discovered it and his statistics
have caused widespread interest and
discussion. He declares it to be a
universal law of nature that the child
resembles the weaker and not the
stronger of it's parents.
In all countries the proportion is
found to be almost identical, namely,
los or log girls to 100 boys. The
only exception is found after a great
war. This is because the best and
strongest men are sent to the front,
while the weakest remain behind.
The psychologist declares that nat
ure's purpose is to replace the weaker
individual with another of the same
sex before he or she disappears.
More Boys When War RACES.
Among barbarous nations, contin-
ually at war, there is always a pre-
ponderance of boys ove girls. When
an old man marries a young wife it is
a proved fact that boys than
girls are born, the opposite being the
case when the wife is much older
than the husband.
To every 1000 girls born, Dr..
