CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL ~
OPEN AIR PREACHING.
By WILLIAM n. hwpN.

OIEN Ait
Perth Amboy has done some loud
talking in it's own behalf recently.
First of all came the safe and sane
Fourth, In which we Joined a good
ly company OF municipalities all
over the country. This was due
largely to the leadership of our
mayor. 1t certainly was good not
to read a long list OF deaths and &C
cidents the day following, of late
referred to as the sorrowful ifth."
Then we lined up with many other
cities in this general section OF coun-
try by having q Sunday school pa
rade. This was due to the efforts
of a layman in one of our churches.
1t was a sight that gladdened all be-
holders to see young and old alike
proudly marching under the banner
of the cross. Like the safe and sane
Fourth, the Sunday school parade
has come to stay. Lastly, Perth
Amboy now has open air preaching
services, due to the enterprise of
two of our churches.
1t would not be true to say that
never before had our city enjoyed
such a service. The Salvation Army
for years has carried on such ser
vices here as elsewhere. But this
is the first attempt on the part of
any OF the churches to hold such a
service in lieu Of Its regular service
within the church building. And
again the city is lining itself up
with the spirit of the times.
Open air preaching is by no
means new. Taking the stump In
behalf of any political candidate, a
custom dating from the immemo-
rial, Is in reality, open air preach
ing. But until recently, open air
preaching on religious themes, by
the regular officers of the churches,
has been a rarity In this country,
save In connection with camp meet
ings and similar occasions. 1t Is
not so in England and on the Con-
tinent, where the practice has been
long established, and where many
open air pulpits may be seen. The
first open air pulpit in America was
dedicated only a few months ago,
and adorns the southern facade Of
Grace Episcopal church, in New
York city.
Why not open air preachinef?
Why not at all times, when the
weather permits, and not only dur
ing the summer? Men and wome
will linger outside Of a crowd and
listen when they will not enter the
doors of q sanctuary. 1t is not be-
lifting the dignity of the Gospel to
use any means whereby the seed
may be sown. But especially dur
ing the heated term are such ser
vices grateful, since they not only
offer to the casual passer-by the OPP
portunity OF herring what other
wise might never be heard by him,
but as well permits those who usual
ly attend, to do so at the smallest
inconvenience and the greatest COM
fort to themselves.

ut is generally recognized among
business men," asserts Governor
Hadley, that the present high cost
of living Ia directly traceable to the
fact that production has not kept
pace with consumption" He pro-
poses to be a show me" executive
In every sense of the word and al
ready he has brought about the or
ganization of the National Farm
Homes Association, the object Of
which is to furnish farm homes to
the city homeless.
The scheme is simple. The gov
ernor has discovered that great
tracts of land are available in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Louisiana, Texas and other south
ern states at $40 an acre. He pro-
poses to secure this land-a few
thousand acres to begin with and
great tracts eventually-and parcel
1t out to the homeless of today at
the rate of forty acres to the family,
t~hirty-two of these 40-acre farms to
cluster around a central farm of 100
acres, where a skillfui Agricultural
shall teach the colonists how to
ldIIh cCouOlllCd4ly anu plOhLdblJs
The cost TO the settler for his chance
to leave the o~vercrowded city and
get his first real chance In life will
be as follows:
Land, 40 acres at $40 an
acre uU.U
Building and fences ..... 10000
Stock and teams 1900. 10000
Implements, etc. ........ 10000
Total 100000
But, 1t is contended, the crying
need is for farm homes for the
homeless who are moneyless as we'll.
It Is this identical class OF people
which Governor Hadley proposes to
secure. But not all who come are
eligible. Millions may apply but
only thousands can be accepted. So
he proposes that all applicants for
farms shall be subjected to exam
nation by a board of the associa-
ton, care to be taken to aid the de-
serving poor who want to get the
land and to d~ifferentiate between
them and the hopeless derelicts.-

CARS BY THE CARLOAD
Four Carloads Of Maxwell AutOmO
bileS
A. c. WANT IS LOCAL AGENT
Is an Expert Chauffuer and Finds that he
Can use His Gar In Winter

A. @. Wyant, local agent for the
Maxwell automobile has purchased
from his company. twenty-five cars.
The purchase includes ten model A. A.
cars, which retail at six hundred dollars
each, ten model Q's which retail at
81, 900 and five touring cars, model F,
the retail price of which is 81 300. Thus
Mr.. Wyant has obtained a total Of
nearly twenty-five thousand dollars
worth of cars, all of which he expects
to dispose of IN the near future.
Some idea of the size of the order can
be lad when itsis known that it takes
but six machines to make a car load.
The first consignment will be received
here about April 10 for early spring
delivery. Already more than enough
orders have been taken to take care of
this first shipment. The second car
load will arrive about May and the
balance is expected to come early in
June.
Mr.. Wyant has this winter taken
orders for four of the model A. A. cars
and three for the larger model 9. With
start like this so early in the selling
senson, there is no doubt but that he
will be able 10 place without difficulty
the remainder Of the twenty-five
machines, and perhaps more, if he can
secure them from the factory.
The Maxwell car is manufactured by
the Maxwell ll-Buscoe company whose
factory and main Office are located at
TarrytCwn, y. Y. Their machines are
known all over among motor people as
among the best machines of their class.
Mr.. Wyant is the agent for the three
counties of Gratiot, Montcalm and Isa-
bella, and he is constantly at work in
this territory. He is an expert chaufuer
but a careful rather than a fearless
driver. He understands his machine
perfectly, and it is at all times ready
and willing to give demonstrations to
those who may be interested He has
been driving one of his machines all
winter and claims that he gets as much
use out of his car during the winter
months as the average man does during
the summer months. Mr. Wyant is a
good salesman; the Maxwell is a good
car The result of the two brought to-
gether will be business in his territory.

There seemed tn be general feeling of

the plaintiffs argued that the fact that
there was q space of four feet and one
inch between the tracks should be
taken in account in determining that
matter. However, the court held that
although this fact that the girl was
guilty of coEtributorv negligence ex-
cused the railroad from responsibility
up to the time the engineer saw the
girl. it did not excuse them fol
gross negligence from that time on.
The court held that whether the rail-
road was guilty of gross negligence OF
not was a question for the jury, and
thus refused to take the case from their
hands.
1t was brought out that after the
engineer saw the girls danger and
knew that he would be likely to run
into her. it was his duty to make
every effort to stop the train. Hence
it was shown that the bell was not
ringing and that the whsle had not
blown.
Deputy Sheriff Hartons of Lansing
gave some of the most valuable and
vital evidence of the trial IN connec-
tion with this when he said that as
the engineer climbed down from his
