A Sermon To Graduates

A large congregation attended the First
aptist Church last Sunday evening to
hear the sermon by the pastor, Rev. W.
j. Rutherford, to the High School grad
yates. He took histext from Acts 1886
David served his generation"
He said iii part that behooves us to
do like wise, and serve our generation.
Our lives will be a blessing or a curse, the
world will be better or worse for our liv-
ing. Stagnation is death. How can we
serve our own town? 1t is not fair to the
young men not to have a reading circle,
reading room, or debating society and
other things that develope and help.
The church does not exert her in
fuence for purity and. virtue to the ex-
tent that ought to be. Good people are
too Indifferent. We must come back to
the consciousness of the need to win the
world for Christ. We have to shoulder
the responsibility. If we rebuke sin we
may be ~cannonaded willie living and
cannonized when dead.
How a We be a blessing to our COM
munity. We can say, "Here l am Lord.
What little talent ! have may l be able
\ to exert for good" 1t is success to serve
your generation. Make up your minds
by the grace of God, never to disgrace it
Be true to yourself and to your Maker.

l.
In the Gloucester County Court on
Monday Judge Starr stated that he had
been looking up the matter of license fees
in the several counties of the State and
had found that in Gloucester County the
fee is considerably less than the average
throughout the State. Gloucester County
has fewer hotels per capita than any
other of the counties of the State, ex-
cept Cumberland and Salem. Salem has
one hotel for every 1916 people and in
this county there is one hotel for every
114S people. The Court feels that a re-
arrangement OF the license fee is essential
and in several instances has increased
the fee.
These licenses were granted; John
Rachor, Jr., Woodbury., fee $3.50, last
year $3.50; Ernest A. Storrele, Wood
bury, $3.50, increase 800; Joseph
Hanle, Gibbstown, $3.50, increase 500;
j. r. jackson, Westville, $500, increase
500; George Strang, Swedesboro, $3.50
increase $50; B. G. Clark, Swedesboro,
$3.50, increase $50; Edward G, Brodbent,
C~larksboro, $3.50, no increase; Adolph
Storrele, Williamstown, $500, increase
800; Charles Kern, Berkeley, $3.50, no
increase; Charles Plat West Depthford,
$3.50, no increase; Jesse M. Thompson,
BilIingsport, $3.50 increase $50; W. F.
Bouhl, Paulsboro, $3.50, increase 500.
A remonstance was filed against the
petitions for a license at Barnsboro, also
a remonstance with five hundred signers
against granting a license at Washington

But he alone can take it
Who says with Roman frmness:

There is no royal road;
Alike the peer and peasant,
Must climb to her abode.
Who feels the thirst Of knowledge,
In Helecon may slake it,
If he has still the Roman will

Are riches worth the getting?
They must be bravely sought;
