OF WHAT He SAID

by the mere presence of SO many
men. The very tone of his preaching
would become masculine. The fin
ances would be increased. Hundreds
would be brought into touch with the
life-giving ordinances of the church.
Warming Note.
But here let me sound IA note of
warning. There Is q tendency to
substitute the Bible class for the
church. In our own adult classes
and let me say the teachers of them
deplore 1t as much as any one--only
part of the members attend SER
vices. After the Bible class session
many of them congregate on the cor
ners, and after chatting and smoking
a while go off home or elsewhere
without darkening the doors of Gods
house. The same complaint comes
from other Bible classes in this city.
Men and brethren, that IL altogether
wrong. The Bible class, however
godly the teacher and excellent the
instruction, is not the church. To
attend Sunday school Is good, but 1t
IL not all of our duty. and we have
studied the Bible to little purpose, If
We do not hear in its every page the
call to go up to Gods house on the
HTSI udy VI the week TO worship MIN
and sing his praises there. The Sunday
school Is no substitute for the sane
tuary.
Again. there is glorious oppor-
tunity for the Bible class men of this
city TO purify its civic life. What
ever attitude We may adopt towards
recent developments in the political
situation here. one thing seems GER
tain. that 1t is capable OF vast i'm
provement. I am too much of a new
conner to this community to hazard
an individual opinion, but. basing my
judgment on that of many discreet
and well informed citizens who have
nothing OF the fanatic in their make
up, do not hesitate to say that there
Is much room for the heaven OF Chris
ton ideals to be set at work in the
public life of this city. Here Ia the
opportunity of the Bible classes. At
least three-quarters. probably more,
of their membership are OF the voting
age There are enough OF them In
each ward to hold the balance OF
power; so that no man from that
ward could be elected over their pro-
test

Judge Aims Severe Blow at Cold
Storage Men Now on
Trial.

TRENTON. N. j., March 14.--What
IL regarded as severe blow at the
great corporations which regard Sc
crecy as one of the essentials OF their
business was struck here to-day when
Justice Swayze filed in the Supreme
Court an opinion announcing that he
will sign the order applied for by
Prosecutor Pierre Garven, of Hudson
county. compelling Armour & Co. the
National Packing Company and Nor
ris & Co. to produce their books be-
fore the Hudson county grand Jury,
which is probing the cold storage
plants in that county. The investiga-
ton Is the result of the agitation
over the cost Of high living and the
charge that cold storage plants main
tanned by the big meat corporations
and other concerns are a factor In
forcing up prices.
