ANNIVERSARY
is POSTPONED
st. Stephens Church Will
Cslebrats Next Year.

It was decided at a meeting yes
terday afternoon, of the supreme Of
fleers of the Woman's Guild OF st.
Stephens Danish Lutheran church,
to postpone the planned celebration
of the thirty-ffth anniversary OF the
incorporation of the church until
next year, when two other ~anniversa-
ries will be observed in fitting style.
The days to be commemorated next
year are the t~wenty-hfth anniversary
of the first congregation with a called
minister giving his undivided ltten-
ton to the parish, and the fortieth
anniversary of the first supply sent
here to start the new flourishtng de
nomination.
Members of guild stated today that
a postponement would give the So
ciety ample time to prepare q cele-
bration next year entirely fitting for
such an important occasion. The
first congregation was formed thirty
nine years ago, when a minister came
here at irregular intervals and held
services in various halls and meeting
houses. But not to be daunted, the
parish struggled for existence and
four years later was Incorporated as
a congregation. T~wenty-four years
ago the congregation was sufficiently
large and wealthy enough to raise
sufficient funds to defray the ex
pense of engaging a regular pastor
The parish has increased in wealth
and members very rapidly since that
day.

Central railroad and others Pennsyl-

public to work together as regards
moving the traffic, but such is not
the case. 1t is said that each road,
which operates the New York and
Long Branch road jointly, gets the
money for the tickets it picks up re-
gardless of where they were pur-
chased, the rivalry is vigorous and
both companies strain every effort to
get as many passengers as they can.
To illustrate a case in point. Last
Labor Day 1t is said that the Penn
sylvania slipped a relief train which
they had laying on the Asbury sid
ing in right ahead of the CentraPs

ter came along the platform was
pretty bare and she had a very slim
load. Independence Day the situation
was reserved. The Central had on Il
new train for New York this season
due to leave Asbury Park at sos P.

sections, beginning about 8 o'clock,
the last section leaving about 9:20 P.
