SERMON At
THE PRESBYTERY
Retiring Moderator breaches
Sermon.
AN ABLE DISCOURSE
West Jersey Presbytery in Session
To-day at Woodbury-Open.
ing Last Night.

The Rev. Samuel H. Potter, retir-
ing Moderator, preached carefully
prepared sermon last night in the
Woodbury. Presbyterian Church to a
good sized audience from the text,
John 1917. eff ye know these things,
happy are ye if ye do them. Taking
for his theme, Elements of True
Religion. - After speaking Of the
circumstances preceding the text
when Christ taught his disciples the
lesson of humility-a lesson not under
stood by others Greeks and Romans)
and not remembered very we'll by the
disciples; the speaker said, believe
these things referred to in the text,
include all that Christ taught them
during bis public ministry. While he
taught by miracle. ministrations and
example-he had clearly taught them
that man was made to know-he could
think, reason and learn also that man
was so constituted as to enjoy, if-the
desire for happiness is universal
Christ had taught them that happiness
was conditioned upon two things
knowledge and service. There were
two points upon which the speaker
dwelt.
What do we know, as result of
Christ's teaching. concerning ourselves
as Christians. We know that we are
to follow. witness, represent and serve
him Before Christ came into this
world, it is said, Plato was teaching
men how to think. Aristotle was
teaching men how to reason but
when Christ came. and began to teach,
he taught men how to live. 1t is well
that we know how to think and
reason; but it is far more important
that we know how to live. When we
do, we shall find it includes much
what we may know what we may do.
Then we shall want to be, what He
would have us he; and say what He
would have us say and go where He
would have us go; and do what He
would have us do; for we are his
followers His witnesses, His ambassa-
doris, ami his servants.
2. What do we gain, if we obey the
great Teacher2
ID Happiness and Heaven. Some
people think we must gain the latter
first. but it is not so; our text is in
the present tense, Happy are ye. ="
OF course we sha be happy there.
There'll be no sorrow there bu: we
ought to be happier here than we are;
we shall be happy if we do the things
we know. 1t was not the priest, or
levite; but the Samaritan that was
happy. Why? simply because he did
what he knew should be done
The work may be difficult and dis
couraging at times, but let us say to
our fellow laborers what Burke said
at Bristol Applaud us when we run;
cheer us when we faint; console US
when we recover; but above all
things urge us to go on. -

LEAGUE CHANGES
ITS BYLAWS
Will Increase It's Board of
Trustees.
LARGER COMMITTEES
Annual Meeting to be Held on
Monday Night to Elect a
Board of Trustees.
VOL. LXII.

At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees, held this week, change
was made by unanimous vote in the
bylaws of the organization.
The bylaws were amended so as to
increase the Board of Trustees from
five to seven, and to enlarge all stand
ing committees from three to five.
A year ago when the bylaws were
adopted the League had membership
of 106. Since then it has grown so
that at present the League has just
295 members and every effort should be
made by Monday night to get 5 more
to make 800. The trustees feel that
such large membership should have a
greater representation upon the Board
of Trustees as we'll as upon the stand
ing committees. The details of the
League work are constantly increasing
and there must be more OF the mem
bers to do the active work It was for
this reason that the trustees, by Q
unanimous vote agreed upon the
amendments to the bylaws.
At the annual meeting which will be
held on Monday night next, the MEM
bers will be called upon to select a
Board of Trustees Of seven,
The first annual report to be made
by the Board of Trustees, will be an
interesting one. 1t will show that the
organization has made wonderful
strides, and that in addition to the
admirable organization that has been
affected, much of very substantial
nature has been accomplished just at
present the officers and committees of
the League have important projects on
hand, and there is little doubt but
that two or three more Industrials will
shortly be located here.
The trustees of the League. at the
meeting this week, authorized the
Publicity Committee to procure cup
not to exceed SIS. to be offered to
the Harrisburg Motor Club reliability
run next week. The Publicity Com :
mittee will also arrange "a series of
local post card views in special
envelope, together with the League
pamphlet, Facts about Bridgeton. I"
which will be presented to each of the
150 visiting automobiles.
