CATHOLIC CHARITY
SOCIETY HAS ITS
GOLDEN JUBILEE
Rev. Father Whelan breaches
at the st. Vincent De Paul
50th Anniversary.

The golden jubilee of the st. Vincent
DE Paul Society was celebrated yes
terday at the cathedral by a large
number of the members, who attended
mass and received holy communion at
$3.50 a. m. At the vesper service in the
evening the Rev. Father Whelan
preached a special sermon, taking his
text from ST. Paul to Titus, "The
grace of God, our Saviour, hath ap.
peared to all men, ~instructing us to
live soberly n justly and godly, that
he might redeem us and cleanse US TO
Himself sci so a people acceptable a pur-
"And He came fnstructing us not
only to live soberly and with justice
n in goodness, but to be pursuers of
good works. And He not merely
taught, but He gave US IN example, for
He went about doing good And SO,
by precept and example, we find this
charity of God not only loving each OF
us individually, but multiplying itself
millions of times by commanding every
n He loves to love all others for His
sake. His whole life is abridged in one
magnificent expression, He went about
doing good
1.-THE celebration which we make to-
night is for the encouragement of this
same spirit of well doing. 1t is to call
attention to an organization of men of
every rank and profession, banding
themselves together in an alliance of
love for the service of Christ's poor.
offering themselves to be the channels
of their own and others bounty to bear
aims to the hovel and to the garnet and
to the cellar. and with their own hands
to hide it in the bosoms of the poor
and bearing in their work a name that
tells of help for every want, a balm for
every sorrow, compassion for every soul
that suffers, the name of Vincent de
Paul.

.G|FT-TRAO|NG IS
NOT G0DL|KE, SAYS
REV. R. v. PEACH
1t Is Wrong to Give Presents to
Those Who Will Make
Returns, He Says.

The Rev. Robert w. Peach, rector of
Emmanuel Church, Reformed Episco-
pal, preached last evening on 1.-THE
Spirit of Christmas Giving" from st.
John ill.,, 16. He said:
THE first Christmas gift was from
the Heavenly Father to the world of
men, when God gave to us His only
begotten Son to be III Saviour. True
Christmas giving takes it's inspiration
from that original. 1t is the express
sion of love-as God so loved the
world 1t is the satisfying of need,
as without the gift of a Saviour we
should all have persisted.
S at Christmas-tide we should give
to those whom we love and to those
who are In need. The interchange of
gifts among members of a family and
between very dear friends, If done in
true love, without envy or emulation, Is
of the right spirit. The exchange of
gifts among long lists of acquaintances,
guessing at the value of what may be
received from this n and that one, to
avoid the chagrin of having sent some
thing inadequate, is mere trading,
swapping-not giving, not God-like."

HOW RABBI FOSTER
WOULD SAVE RICH
GIFTS OF NATURE
Sees the Time When Wisdom of
lsrael's Words Will Be
Accepted.

Conservation of Our Natural Re-
sources was the topic of a sermon by
the Rev. Solomon Foster in the Temple
B'nai Jeshurun. He said: II venture
to predict it will not be many years
before our country will enact laws
which reflect the regulations enforced
in ancient Palestine to conserve the
natural sourc of the land. 1t will
then be found that another of Israers
great ideas will have been adopted by
u country and our wealth in re-
sources will become the property OF a
great nation.
Nov the American people, after a
wild delirium over the inexhaustible
natural u of the land, in the
midst of a national recklessness and
wasteful extravaganza in the use of
u great physical heritage, are awak-
ening to the responsibility in the mat
ter Of the conservation of II natural
resources.
The evils will continue until we be-
come thoroughly permeated with the
ideas which actuated ancient Israel in
its regard for the land as a gift from
God to be wisely and bencficially en-
ployed.
1.-THE conservation of the natural re-
sources depends, in last analysis, upon
the conservation of our spiritual re-
sources, in which Israel is responsible
as the custodian of the worlds moral
treasures, the Bible. the moral law
and the example of practise of the
law In word and deed"

LAKEWOOD RICH
WOULD KEEP OUT
CHEAP SALOONS

LAKEWOOD, Dec. 14.-War on
Lakewood saloons, with permission to
only the hotels to sell liquor. has
aroused this resort to such an extent
that rival forces are banding for a
vigorous battle.
Wealthy residents, for the most part.
are aligned against cheap saloons, while
favoring licenses for big hotels that
cater to the rich. Women of the Red
Cross Society have taken up the mat
ter also, declaring that the sale Of
liquor here last winter was the cause
of more poverty than had been seen in
years previous.
Ministers in three churches, in one
case the Rev. w. G. Wodemeyer, Of the
First Baptist, which John d. Rookie
Teller attends when here, yesterday
asked their congregations to attend the
hearing on the license question before
Judge Berry in the Court of Common
Pleas, Toms River.
Should the foes of the poor saloon
win, the sale of beer at five cents a
glass would cease and no whiskey would
be served at less than fifteen cents a
drink.
The churches are circulating petitions
protesting against the issuance of
licenses except to the hotels. Governor
Forts son has signed the petition
against liquor. Both sides have en-
gagged counsel to fight the Issue to a
finish.

REV. {. A WATSON
DISBURSEMENT
EMMANUEL THEORY
St. Stephens Church Is Crowded
to Hear Strange Move
ment Explained.

The REV. E. A. Wasson's discourse on
the Emmanuel movement was listened
TO by as many persons as could COM
fortably get into st. Stephens Protes-
tant Episcopal Church yesterday. The
Rev. Mr.. WATSON said, in part: :
THE Emmanuel movement has &C
complished much for many. It's reason
ableness and modesty recommend 1t to
many sufferers who would never con-
sent to become subjects of the wonder
cults. Indeed, many are constitutional
ly incapable of making the mental sac
rifces required by Christian Science,
the New Thought, or the various faith
cures. These classes of people are at
tracted by a movement which proposes
no marvels or incredibilities; but aims
to help them in ways that are admitted
by psychologists and medical men alike
TO be perfectly reasonable and ade-
quate.
THE only adverse criticism that
could be applied to the methods OF the
Emmanuel movement lies in it's use of
hypnosis. But it employs hypnosis only
in extreme cases, where. If its use is
aver justified, 1t would certainly be ad-
INVISIBLE. 1t seems as if medical science
We're cautiously. yet surely, coming to
recognize hypnosis as a legitimate cura-
tive agency in the right hands. Where
the Emmanuel practitioners meet with
sufferers that are obviously victims of
a weak will which can be strengthened
by no other means at their command
they induce the hypnotic trance in the
patient and then brace, stiffen and
strengthen his win, as we'll as direct it,
by powerful suggestion. In this there
is nothing new, nothing demonstrably
linscienti1c, nothing not already en-,
ployed by some reputable physicians,
with the tacit sanction of the profess
sion"

TAFT GOING SLOW
IN SELECTING MEN
FOR HIS CABINET
Won't Announce Appointments
just Yet-Tells How We Did
Not Fight Great Britain.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-President-
elect William H. Taft, who is spending
several days In this city with Mrs. Taft
prior to going to Augusta, Ga, for a
five weeks rest, preceding his trip to
h Panama Canal zone, had few en-
~gagenlents today and devoted some of
his time to the preparation of the
speeches he is to deliver tomorrow
night at the dinner of the National
Civic Federation and Wednesday night
at the annual dinner Of the Ohio So
ciety.
Mr.. Taft las announced hat he does
not expect to be in a position to further
outline the personnel of his cabinet
during his stay in New York. He said
he was proceeding slowly in the mat
ter of selections for the various port
folios.
Among Mr.. Taft's callers today were
Frank B. Kellogg, who has been prose-
cutting the government suits against the
Standard Oil Company and the So
called Hartman roads; Leslie NJ. Shaw
and Congressman c. N. Fowler, chair
man of the House committee on cur
rency, the latter of whom was also in
conference with Mr.. Taft yesterday.
At the dedicatory services last night
at the Metropolitan Temple of the Nc
Kinley memorial organ, presented by
Anrew Carnegie, Mr.. Taft spoke at
length on his association with William
Mckinley and paid his tribute to Mr..
Mckinley as a man whose whole life
was harmony.
In speaking of the happy go-lucky
eagerness of the public to go to war
with Spain during the Mckinley ad-
ministration, he drew this conclusion:
"We Americans think we can whip a
nation without any guns. But We can't.
Some day We may"
Then he launched into a description
of the excitement attending the Ven-
ezuelan question, and told how every
body wanted to whip the British when
there was only one gun on the coast
from Maine to Texas and from Cal
ifornia to Oregon, and that gun was at
Sandy Hook.
But God looked after u.s." he said,
las He does after children and drunk
en- men, and we didn't go to war"
