Burns.
Dearly beloved: L take my text from
Bobby Burns little song: "My love is but
lassie" Preachers frailties were COM
mon enough one hundred and twenty-five
years ago to make Burns take sufficient
notice and let the world know that the
minister kissed the fiddler's wife and could
not preach for thinking about the kissing.
Kissing lassies was a common thing in
Burns time, but it was a kind OF custom
and the lass looked upon it as a kind Of
compliment to the family when her father S
friends kissed her. Kissing of a man S
wife was not so common, but the clergy
claimed benefits that others could not claim.
No doubt Burns saw the minister kiss the
fddler's wife and perhaps noted in the
kissing something more than a formal
salute. As ministers did not take kindly
to fddlers, the kissing of a fiddler's wife
by a minister was audacious and little
passionate, perhaps. 1t was along the line
of "spoiling the Egyptians" and Robert
Burns, Esq, noted all this, and when the
minister fell through his sermon and made
botch of it, Bobby knew that the frag-
rance of the kiss was at the bottom Of the
failure.
Hypocrisy was in vogue when preaching
first began, but with the Scotch preachers
it reached sublime dimensions. Just think
Of a man who has consecrateo his life to
his god and who takes high view of
morality; getting his head turned by kiss
and unable to talk correctly upon God 5
business. Perhaps there is no fiddler, in
Scotland, whose wife has not spoilt some
good, dominies's sermon, by crossing the
parson s path upon Saturday. Judas cut
short Christ s sermons by kissing him as a
measure of Identification.
Priests, wha haze wi women kiss Il,
Priests, wham led haze often miss d.
Welcome to your CORY bed.
Or to trickery.
Noo's the day, and any the hour;
See the front o. fattie lour;
See approach proud priesty power
Chains and slavery.
VIVA will be a traitor knaye?
VIVA should fill coward g grave?
Wha sac base as such a slave7
Will he turn and fee?
VIVA for woman's peace Of mind

yet failure though granted the boon Of
a voice in law making, they know not how
to use it. Montfort and many thousands OF
his contemporaries seem TO have lived and
struggled and died in vain.
William Wallace mustered an army and
drove the English invaders from the land
of his birth; but he was betrayed by the
miserable Scottish lords taken to London,
and there horribly tortured and executed
His life seemed a failure.
Wat Tyler led a hundred thousand
robbed and starving peasants to London to
demand redress, and was treacherously
stricken down by one Of the kings aides;
while the polite king cried out to the hest
tating multitude: 81 will be your leader. "
And in accepting him, they accepted back
their portion of debt, poverty and slavery.
Wat Tyler's work seemed failure.
And so we might go on down through the
years. The great mass of humanity has
silently plodded on, enduring all in silent
self-battle that it is possible for human
flesh to endure striking wildly in an un-
equal fight when goaded to desperation
meeting the almost inevitable failure stole
ally, and suffering the penalties. But out
Of all these failures, victory has been stead
lily marching.
Perhaps victory at that age would have
made little real difference in the world S
history-that is, little difference in the
welfare, prosperity and happiness Of the
people. The oppressed, if raised to power,
were ready to become tyrants in their turn.
1t was too early in the world S career for
true conception Of democracy, as indeed,
1t is perhaps, even now. The people were
the victims of their own ignorance and
bigotry, as they are in only little less
degree today.
Cromwell attained what the world called
victory, but he had not attained a concept
Of actual democracy, and all the treasure
and lives yielded up for what was believed
to be the peoples cause went to naught, for
England was again reduced to the rule of
the degenerate Stuarts.
Our own pilgrim fathers, having attained
the boon of liberty by Drawing the waves
and the trackless forest, knew not its price
less value, and yielded themselves up to
its misuse.
Shall we, then, in the face of all these
failures, lay down our banners, and own
liberty a willo-the-wisp and the cause Of
economic and religious freedom vanquished
for all time! From the stilled voices of
those who suffered and struggled, and in
that struggle lay bravely down to the eter-
nal rest, we must take our own course in
the battle that is forever waging-the
battle for human freedom, or democracy.

The winter season. II contains within It's Oorders
vast real estate opportunities. There are myriads
of home sites within the reach OF the mass OF
working peopl notwithstanding the fact that acres
and acres of land have been taken over by per
sons prominent in business and social circles OF
the greater city and improved with dwelling houses
which have made the district famous for Its long
rows OF great villas and ocean estates. We firmly
believe that the district Is destined TO be many
times a greater hotel region than IT is now. Large
sums of money have been spent in enlarging the
ocean boulevard system of the territory, giving II
the necessary reservoir basins for its present needs
and It's needs for many years. furnishing an ade-
quate police service for all the larger residential
communities and increasing the popularity OF the
district with automobilists and persons who find
enjoyment In driving behind harness horses.

So varied are the charms Of the New Jersey sub

may find Il a difficult problem to decide to his own
satisfactio what district will grow more rapidly

approved real estate lines. OF course every buyer
wants 10 become the owner of land IN place
