Says DR.. Bremen, of st. Vincent's
Institute for the Insane, in st. Louis:
There is no agency today to d~estruc-
tive to the moral and physical life of

"School principals testify that a boy
who smokes cigarettes becomes gradu-

until he is down and out The New
York city superintendent of public
schools say that nearly all the in
c~origible truants are cigarette smokers,
THE laws controlling the sale of
cigarettes to minors should be more
strictly enforced. l see High School
students every morning smoking cigar
cites on their way to school and young
er boys looking up to them admiringly.
Cigarette smoking lessons the
natural appetite for food and Injuries
digestion. 1t seriously affects the nerv-
Gus system. 1t interferes with study,
students who smoke being invariably OF
lower scholarship. 1t lowers the mora
tone. 1t often creates a craving for
strong drink. 1t is a filthy, offensive
habit. 1t Is an expensive habit. And
it is unlawful for minors"

CHURCH
REMOVE HATS At
PAsTORSREQUEs
Rev. Henry K. Rose, Assisted by
Joyous Christmas Spirit,
Has His Way.

Permeated by the joyous spirit of
Christnlastide, inspired in anticipation
of the reading OF Charles Dickens's
christmas Carol" all of the women
in the audience of 700 in the Church OF
the Redeemer last night removed their
hats. This was done at the solicita-
ton of the pastor, the Rev. Henry r.
Rose.
He reminded them that 1t would give
a more family-like appearance to the
gathering and take away the idea of a
mere audience.
Mi. Roses preface to the reading was
a suggestion to the audience to think
Of others In addition to those they
would have TO think about. He hoped
the reading would have the effect OF
melting their hearts and instilling that
forgive and forget" spirit.
The musical program included man
dolin selections by Arthur Bush, of
East Orange, accompanied by Mrs.
Kate Martin on the organ, and vocal
selections by Mrs. Kerwan. Mrs. Mar
tin played Christmas airs for about If
teen minutes previous to the reading.

practically decided today that the ruins

He alarmed the pastor, the Rev. Il. G.

parsonage adjoining the church. All

MERE SPASMS OF
FAITH WON'T DO,
SAYS DR. VANCE

The Rev. DR.. James /. Vance, of he
North Reformed Church, took for the
text of his sermon last night BE thou
faithful until death and / will give thee
a crown of life" Rev. H., 10. The topic
was THE Crown of Life on the Brow
of Death" He said in part:
Being faithful is being full of faith.
The man who has no faith in God is
lot faith full, but faith empty. lie Is
faithless.
1.-THE trouble with SO many of us IS
that we are s~pasmodically faithful; We
have periodic sprees of fidelity. None
is so bad but he has occasional or per-
haps frequent intervals of faithfulness,
but they lack continuity and longevity.
"A crisis is impending. Success is al
most within the grasp. One false word.
one resort to deception, one betrayal
of a friend and success is ours. Why
not do it? After one has won he can
repent and be good again. but that one
act Of infidelity is fatal"

mates of the New Jersey State Hos
pital for the Insane, who had been sent

Charles Collins, 40 years old, of Mer-
Ger county.
