"Oh, Lamb of God was ever pain like thine?" An, "TIe suffered under pom tius Pilate" This is the retrospective view of the text. These are the scenes this sacrament Is to bring before our minds. It also has a prospective view. "Ye do show the Lords death till He come"
 This sacrament will be preserved un- til the end of time, until the second coming of the Son of God, when He shall descend from heaven with D shout, with the voice of the archangel. and with trump of God" Forsaken by the angels upon the cross, in His sec ond coming He shall be accompanied by "all the angels of heaven" At His second coming the sun shall become as black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon as blood. The stars of heaven shall fall unto the earth, and the heavens shall depart as scroll when 1t is rolled together. The mountains and the islands shall be moved out If their places. The wicked shall hide themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains, and call upon the rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide them from the face and the wrath of Him against whom they have sinned. They shall be cast into outer darkness, where there Is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.'
 But the redeemed shall be gathered from the four quarters of the eartr. With their triumphant Lord they shall ascend to the highest heaven. and enter in with Him in whose presence there Is "fullness of joy" and at whose right hand there are pleasures for evermore." His second coming is the prospective view.
 This sacrament Is the Savior's dying love gift to the world. He said, Do this in remembrance of me-" among our earthly possessions there is noth- ing we prize so highly as a love gift from a dying friend. You may have somewhere under lock and key some thing that your mother, in her last hours placed in your hands and said, "Keep this, and remember me by it That little gift may be intrnsicallF valueless, but enough money has not been coined to buy 1t.

Great Year For Shad HaulS.
100000 Small Fish Are Deposited in
Delaware Tributaries,

The Fish and Game Commission Of
New Jersey has received exhaustive re-
ports showing that the shad season this
year was better by 100 per cent. than
last year, and the catches Of this cheap
food fish was greater than for seven years
past. But the commission is not content
with the season and 1000, 900 small shad
have been deposited in the waters of the
Delaware river, Rancocas creek and Co.
hansey river by the fish wardens. Be-
sides New Jersey members of the
Tri-State Fisheries Commission of New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, are
getting ready to meet the commissioners
of other states, so as to take up the mat
ter OF purifying the Delaware river and
other rivers where the shad run and
spawn.
1t is the purpose of the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission to make the
Delaware river so full of shad that the
markets OF New York city will be glut-
ted with fish from here and yet the large
consignments have no effect upon the To-
cal markets. The Hudson river has about
given up her last shad, and this state is
anxious that further pollution Of the Del
aware river shall stop, so that the state
may have the profitable New. York mar
ket for her shad industry.
The Federal Bureau asks that speci-
mems OF tile dead fish be forwarded to
Washington for examination, and ex-
presses its willingness to do anything
possible to protect the fish from further
fatalities.

Local Option Candidate.

Friends Intelligencer.
Our friend, Joel BortoD, of Woods
town, New Jersey, is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Senator
in Salem county. Under a law passed
by the late Legislature, the nomina
|tion of all candidates must now be
made at a primary election held in all
voting precincts of the county, the old
convention plan having been abolished.
Joel Borton's campaign for the nomina
lions is being made in regular from
but his appearance as a candidate IS
especially due to the growing desire in
Salem county, that a man shall be
elected to the Senate who is active
ly and sincerely in sympathy with
the effort to secure a local option law
in New Jersey. Friends of that move
ment have selected him as their stand
ard bearer, and will endeavor to give
him a nomination which ought to be
equivalent to an election
1t seems to us to be a healthy sign of
the.times when such men are willing to
enter and a still better sign when a
considerable constituency seek that
kind of man to represent then in the
law-making body of the State. If
success should follow this effort, there
would be at least one man in New
Jersey Legislature whose standing on
every moral issue and every interest
thatpertains to good government, would
not for a moment be debatable.

his residence at Princes Gate during
the Pan-American Congress. Meantime
his suburban mansion at Redemption
was waiting for him. He goes to Roe
hampton for two weeks in July, but his
house there is always ready for him on
a few hours notice.
HOW MORGAN GOT IT
Appeal to Reason.
When the panic struck New York
last fall Roosevelt and Cortelyou
promptly turned the United States
treasury over to Morgan and the latter
made himself famous by saving the
nation. The press dispatches now re-
port that Morgan and Company have
declared an extra dividend of 100 per
cent, or $4,000, 900 their srake off"
for providing salvation for the suckers.
Morgan's bank has declared an extra
dividend of 100 per cent, or $40, 600, 900,
which is the ''clean up" of the panic,
or the profit made out of the money
belonging to the government which
Cortelyou turned over to Morgan & Co.
by direction of President Roosevelt,
It was with this money that Morgan
made himself immortal. Verify it pays
to be a savior.

State and Local Polite.

With presidential politics out of the
way after the Denver, convention shall
have come and gone, the attention OF
political managers in this State must
be given to home politics and affairs.
AS the nominations for all officers ex-
cept congressman are to be made in
the party primaries and as the pri.
mariesare to be held in September, au
early start must be made. The people
Of New Jersey are to this year have
their first experience of the system
of the direct primary, as well as of an
active political campaign in the dog
DAYS. In view of the nearness Of the
State primaries, State and Local poll
tics will take precedence OF national
politics during the summer. 1t will be
time enough late in September and in
October to fight the Presidential bat
tie.
The indications are that there will
be stubborn party fights in all the
counties and towns, but the main in
terest will be in Essex and the city OF
Newark, and principally on the Repub-
lican side. On certain important is
sues the Democratic party is practl-
cally a unit, while the Republicans ale
divided in sentiment. In 1904 the
Roosevelt candidacy sweeps away De-
mocratic candidates and COMPOUNDED
the calculations of even the Republican
managers. There can be no such land
slide next November, and the Repub-
lean organization will in September
p~rudently have a firm grip on the
party nominations to prevent the
alienation of a large vote. AS there
will be no conventions, there will be
no platform resolutions, but some form
of declaration will be forthcoming
while the candidates will be required
to make a confession of faith.-New

Bryan's Real Victory

From The Springfield Republican.
With few and admirable exception 1t
IS the evident purpose of the Democratic
leaders to appeal to the people ON be-
half Of the Republican President as
against his W party. Norindoing so
does the Bryan party react or retreat
howard the Republicanism of 1896 or
or 1900. 1t is the Republican position
(which has been moved forward, on the
great economic questions of the time,
and not the Bryan Democratic position
(which has moved backward. Ii
the Bryan Democrats are found now
standing pretty close by the President,
lit is because the latter has become To-
Gated on Democratic ground.

BotanizinE II 4 waste city Lot!

Nix: EDIToR-In our section OF the city
brooklyn, N. " are a number of vacant
lots, once known as Bushwick Creek and
Meadows; now filled in with a large per-
centage of coal ashes, and a small per
centage of soil, set apart, and waiting
the slow grind of the political mill to be
transformed into a Park, where future
children of the tenements will get their
knowledge of trees and green grass.
Sometime ago while waiting for a car in
that section. l espied a pnrplish red
flower, and going to it found a Corn
Cookie [Lychins. Gittugo] a member of the
Pink family.
''The little red flower that grows in the
wheat
What dost thou here little flower? in
such strange surrounding. Well, it was
growing with some oats that some horse
had spilled from his lunch bag. 1t may
amuse a country boy to hear that many
work horses take their MONDAY meal of
oats from a bag fastened over their noz
zles. Looking further l found a Dandelion
(Paraxicum Ofinales) one of our earliest
spring flower that gladens the hearts of
old and young alike. Next a solitary

At once in inauguration we are trans

| deep in some field of clover. The per-
fume p~ervading all our senses. The dis
tant call of the Bob White OF Quail, and
the droning of the Bundle bees sound
ing in our ears, and the June sunshine
| streaming over all. Near also was some
white clover; which is so sweet and
grows so a%bundantly by the country
roadside. l wonder how many of
! your boy readers know that the clover
belongs to the same family as the garden
pea, and if they pull out an individual
bloom they will find a miniature pea
blossom.
If 1 could have looked further no
/ doubt l should have found other blossoms
especially the Chicory (Chicorium Inty-

than which, not even the beautiful FIRING
ed Gentian, has a more heavenly blue.
