STREET PAVING
FIGHT IS AGAIN
ON IN HARRISON
ExpOnents of BituIithic Again
Start Campaign for Using
Material on Street.

Property owners in Warren street,
Harrison, from Second to Washington
streets, are somewhat puzzled over the
receipt of a West Hudson weekly which
was wrapped in an envelope bearing
the red cross of the Harrison Board OF
Health.
In this paper there is a solumn and
a half report of last years doings OF
the Harrison Health Board, of which
John r. Mcclure is inspector. The re-
port is signed by Mcclure, who speaks
in glowing terms in it OF the merits Of
bitulithic paving.
The only solution that can be given
is this: Some time ago the Harrison
Common Council passed an ordinance
on first and second readings calling for
the paving of Warren street with
bitulithic. II was laid over for third
reading and final passage. At the
meeting of the Council on February :
a remonstrance was sent in to the
Council against bitulithic.
There Is about 1000 Ineal feet TO be
paved, and in the reIuonstrance re-
ceived owners of LOO feet protested
against bitulithic and asked for telford
which is much cheaper

CONSECRATE
NEW HOLY CROSS
ALTAR TOMORROW
Beautiful Structure Erected as
Token of Esteem to the
Rev. Father O'C0nnor.

The splendid new marble altar just
completed at the Church of the Holy
Cross, Harrison, and which has been
purchased through the contributions of
the members of the parish, will be n
secrated tomorrow morning, the Rt.
Rev. John j. O'Connor officiating. The
altar. which cost &c. 900, is a gift from
the people of the parish in honor of the
|~twenty-ffth anniversary of the Rev.
Maurice P. O'Connor's pastorate among
them. 1t is constructed of pure white
Carrara marble and is of beautiful pro-
portions, conforming perfectly with the
Gothic architecture of the church. Col
umns and panels of onyx tend to throw
into bold relief the beautiful modelling
and masterful carving. which are the
work of Italian %sculptors.
This now makes the third marble
altar in the church, the others being
the affairs of the Blessed Virgin and St.
Joseph, the three totaling $40, 900. In
time, 1t is. intended to pave the floor of
the entire chancel with marble thing
and to install a brass and onyx COM
munion rail. Father O'Connor, the rec
tor, will celebrate the mass tomorrow
at 9:15 o'clock.
The old altar, which is now displaced,
was a wooden one and was used in the
old st. Plus Church, and on the con
pletion of the Church of the Holy Cross
was enlarged and placed in position
there, where 1t has been used for the
last nineteen years, being dismantleo

IN EAST ORANGE
Second Week in Series Begins

INTERESTING SERMONS
PREACHED YESTERDAY
Fathers Jansen and Brown
Heard at Our Lady Help of
Christians Church.

The second weeks mission in Our
Lady Help of Christians Church. East
Orange, opened last night with a big
attendance, despite bad weather. and
another large congregation was pres
ent his morning at the 5 and 9 o'clock
masses. The special mission for non
Catholics is being continued in the
parish hall. The two missions will
conclude next Sunday night.
The first weeks mission ended yes
terday afternoon with the papal bless
ing, given by the Rev. Father Jansen,
and benediction. An imposing sight
was the renewal of baptismal VOWS.
Eacil person held a candle and renewed
he childhood pledges, and there was
congregational singing.
Reference was made to the attend
ance during the week. The average
number of persons present each night
was 1,400, and there were hundreds
present at the special masses, the ma
jority of whom received communion
daily. The children his week will at
lend mass at s a. m. and afternoon
services at $3.50 O'Clock.
Preached of virgin Mary.
Speaking of the Virgin Mary at the
closing yesterday Father Jansen said:
1.-THE grandest scene enacted on the
stage of the world was the crucifxion.
Christ gave His honor and died for us
in shame he CAV His sou STEPPED in
an ocean of sorrow. He gave still the
one nearest and dearest to him on
earth. He gave His own mother.
why do we honor the blessed vir-
gin? 1t was God who honored ler,
and that is why we honor her. Forty
thousand years before He sent His Son
He made mention of woman and rep
resented her crushing the head of the
enemy of God and man, Satan. She
was in the mind of God since eternity.
God gave the virgin, the sweetest
name woman can have, mother. When
a son goes off on the wrong path the
mother is still with him. even though
the father and brothers and sisters
turn against him and are sorry he
bears their name. When the news
comes later he is a criminal and the
father disowns him, the mother on
tinues to hope, and when she hears OF
I, death Of her child she prays that
he rests in God, until finally the heart
breaks in death.
"That is your mother and my mother,
n God made her. Measure if you
can the love of God for His mother.
" often hear it said by outsiders
that we Catholics adore the Virgin
Mary. but every school child knows
better than that. We pray to her TO
pray for us"
Losing the soul.
The Rev. Father Brown preached the
sermon last night. His subject was,
What win it profit a mar if he gain
the whole world if he suffer the loss of
his soul?" Father Brown said in part
This really means what would it
profit a man If he gain anything if by
so doing he lose his soul. You stay at
home on Sundays, miss mass and for
these few hours of rest you lose your
soul. Again you may strive with all
your ambition to gain some desire. and
you may enjoy it ten, fifteen or twenty
years. let in the end you cannot take
