MT. TABOR NOW
AGE OF FORTY
Anniversary Was Observed on
Sunday With. Specially
Arranged Ceremonies.
THE HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION

The Mt. Tabor Campmeeting asso-
citation celebrated it's fortieth anniver-
sary on Sunday with appropriate ser
vices. The Rev. DR.. Albert B. Rich
ardson, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church. of Dover, the only
surviving ex-president of the associa-
tion, conducted service in the morn
ing. In the afternoon, at three o'clock,
there was a love feast, with the Rev.
DR.. Henry A.. Butz, president of Drew
Theological seminary, at Madison,
presiding. In the evening historical
discourse was delivered by the Rev.
DR.. Rufus K. Boyd The anniversary
celebration was arranged by a COM
mittee consisting of Trustees w. HI.
White, DIR. Boyd and J. Smith Rich
ardson.
The Campmeeting association had
its inception in 1866. which year
marked the centenary Of Methodism
In America. At the conference of
that year, held in Washington, Warren
county, the raising Of centenary fund
was preached and in the course OF the
ensuing discussion the late Rev. DR..
John Atkinson suggested the adoption
of some other means looking to the
quickening of the spiritual life OF the
church, and on his motion commit
mitUee was appointed to consider the
advisability of getting up conference
campmeeting. Pursuant to report
by that committee a board Of mana
gers was appointed consisting of two
ministers and two laymen from each
district in the Newark Conference,
with power to make all arrangements
for the holding of campmeeting
The place selected for the first meet
iug was near Morristowp, and the
meeting proper began on August 20,
1866. On the afternoon of August 10,
however, which was a Sunday, the
Rev. DR.. John N. Crane, of Morris
town, preached to large assemblage
preliminary to the formal opening of
the campmeeting.
j On Wednesday of that week CEN
tenary service of great interest was
held. The meeting on the closing
night was memorable one, continu-
ing until morning and resulting in
forty conversions. In 1867 rains inter
fered with the campmeeting some
what, but on one day of that camp
meeting week the late Bishop James
preached to 10000 people, Two thou
sand vehicles are said to have been on
the grounds. In 1868 the campmeet-
ing drew tremendous crowds, the re-
cord attendance being $4,000. This
vast assemblage was divided into three
meetings, which were addressed by
I three pastors simultaneously. The
grounds where these meetings hao
been held passed into other hands
: about this time and Peter Smith
head of the Smith family at Waterloo
was appointed chairman of commit
tee to select a new site for future
campmeetings. This committee re
ported in favor of the present CamI
Tabor grounds and at meeting hel(
October 81, 1868, the purchase was de
cided upon. Eighty-one $40 subscrip
scriptionS had been received, eacf
share emitting it's holder to lot.

The use of a. makesllift porcelain
socket for Tungsten lamps was
tested at the plant of the Morris s.
Somerset Electric Co. last week. 1t
was the desire of the management OF
the Hudson Fulton celebration to use
Tungsten lamps in series for illumina-
tion but the cost of the regular series
socket was found to be prohibitive for
only ten days use. A makeshift porce-
lain socket was devised and was
tested here to see what effect water
and other conditions would have upon
it.

Fire au Abell,s.

An exposion Of gasolene stove in
the kitchen of William H. Abell's
house on Ann street required the at
tention of the tiremen Wednesday af-
ternoon. Driver Ridge with the red
wagon responded and soon had the
blaze extinguished. The damage
amounted to about 500.
A telephone call for the chemical
was sent in. First Assistant Chief
Day answered and understood the fire
to be at No. 28 Elm street. So to elm
street the chemical scooted and upon
its return found the red wagon on the
Job.

The MOrriStown B. B. @. defeated
the Wharton F. G. Saturday afternoon
in county championship game, five
to four. Watts pitched good game,
while Taylor, a new man with Whar-
ton. was not in so good form. Lippin-
colt went in behind the bat as Wag-
ner is out of the game with a bad
shoulder. The last ball Watts pitched
in the first inning retired Rassler on
strikes, but it split Lippincott's third
finger on the right hand. Hinchman
held down the job the next inning un-
til Tommy Dempsey could get into
his uniform. Morristown started scor-
ing in the first session, Doyle zinging
the sphere for two tripper, Miller
getting on when Cheney dropped his
fly and the duo scoring by steal and
McDevitt's ripper through short.
Next inning Watts pasted out sin
gle, stole second and went to third
when Rassler let Schiffner's throw 60
by him and waltzed home on Demp-
sey's single. Then came a vacation
while Wharton started scoring. In
the fourth j. Rogers got on oy Miller s
error, Saundry singled, Taylor got a
life when Doyle threw the sphere over
Miller's head and Miller then returned
the compliment chucking the pill in
to the crowd back of third. When
the excitement subsidized Wharton was
three runs to the good and Bill"
Watts was mad. The seventh saw
Kaiser single, steal second and tally
on Cheney's single after Watts had
thrown three strikes over the plate
that the umpire refused to see. Nor
riStown got back in the scoring line
in the eighth, Miller drew a pass and
McDevitt ripped off another boost to
his batting average. After pilfering
couple of bags and Murtha's error
Hinchman qualified as the candy kid
by uncorklng screamer to right field,
saving che game for Morristown.
Watts famed eight and Taylor whitfield
two and walked two.

AROUSED OVER
THE ATTACK
Y. vi. C. A. Officials Are Loud
in Their Denunciations Of
PC. Barker's Address.
WORK BELONGS TO THE CHURCH

New York, Aug. 20-Thoroughly
aroused over the attack on the Young
Mems Christian Association made by
Spokane, in which he is widely quoted
as characterizing the organization as
''un-Christian" and as one which
never should have existed" local of
ficials and members of the associa-
tion, backing their statements by rec
ords and figures, are loud in their
denunciation of his remarks.
Local officers of the Y M. C. A. are
unable to account for the remarks of
Mr.. Baker who is best known through
his work as national superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of America.
BY many it is attributed to personal
motives, while others characterize the
utterances in question as ludicrous
and account for them on the ground
of ignorance.
The specific remarks which have
aroused the greatest amount of indig-
nation here are those in which the
Rev. P. A. Baker is quoted as follows:
"The Y. M. C. A. is an institution
which ought never to have existed.
The church should have met the need
which is now being met by the Y. M.
C. A. Of the world The money which
is going into the association work
should have passed through the church
and been dispensed through it where
it would do as much and more good
Oftentimes the Y. NJ. G. A. is not
Christian organization as it should be.
Many times it is one of graft and
greed in which money from men not
Christian is solicited to make it go,
and in which such men often have a
hand. / can almost say that the pres
ent day associations are not religious
and are growing less religious with
the years"
In answer to these charges are the
statements Of local ". M. G. A. work
ers. who point to the records as CON
elusive proof of their unsoundness.
THE association makes it a rule
not to reply to such statements ordi-
narily," said Associate Secretary Fred
B. Shipp of the international commit
tee. They are too absurd to require
attention. II the church has neglect
ed field which it should have made
its own and has left the work to be
done by the association that is not our
fault. The criticism falls rather upon
