A Tribute to Former Pastor.

The funeral of Rev. George S. Meseroll,
Pastor of Pitman NJ. E. church, New
Brunswick, who died in August Sd was
held there on the 9th. He was pastor OF
st. Paul,s NJ. E. church Penn's Grove in
1902.
Rev. J. M. Marshall who was in charge
of the funeral services, in referring to his
life said that he was engaged in the con-
fectionery business in Bordentown thirty
three years ago when he was converted.
He was soon after called to Preach and
sold his business which he had managed
successfully. Had he lived until the
next conference he would have served
thirty years in the ministry. He did his
work c~onscientlously and faithfully and
never entered a church without a revival.
In speaking Of his last days DR.. Mar
shall said Mr.. Meseroll had told his wife
"The blood of Christ answers far me and
1 have done my work under the blood"
and again two or three days before his
death he had said "If / go to sleep and
do not wake up it is all right" DIR.
Marshall had also conversed with him
last Tuesday afternoon when Mr.. Mes
eroll had said, my mind is wholly
| stayed in God," in reply to a question as
to his spiritual welfare. Just before he
died he said, "Amen, amen, forever and
forever"
DIR. Marshall declared that the pastor
had zone to his reward and there was
a welcome home for him on the other
side. In their hour of sorrow he urged
the family and friends to look up and
not down knowing that it was the will
of God that it should be so. He had
heen a good husband, a kind father and
a good minister and they had the con,
ISOLATION in knowing that they would
meet him again.

4 TERRIFIC ELECTRICAL STORM
Much Damage Done To Building.

Much Damage Done 10
Last Friday evening dark and threat
ening clouds arose in the northwest at
sunset. About 9 o'clock they let down a
heavy rain which was accompanied
by terrific thunder and startling lighting
which did more damage in Salem and
Gloucester counties than for years.
1t was a fine rain with no damage at
PENIS Grove. The nearest was at War
rem Risner's at Perkintown When he
and his wife went to bed about 9.3O, they
smelt fire. On investigation they learn
ed that lightning had hit the window
castings OF the bed room and set the bed
mattress on fire. Their timely discovery
saved their home.
The house or the farm New Bridge
over Oldmans Creek, was struck by light
ming and was burned. 1t was formerly
Weatherby- Trumbull property.
Thomas Land, Jr., at Haines Neck hau
a horse killed in his barn. 1t was sur
prising to think that while the lightning
splintered some parts of the barn neither
the hay nor barn took fire.
Samuel r. Patrick, of Warrington
township, one of the best-known farm
ers in Salem county, lost almost every
thing. Lightning fred his large barn
and sheds, destroying the contents be-
fore anything could be saved. The
flames then spread to the wagon house
and that was burned to the ground, only
a few wagons being saved. In the barn
were five horses, 80 tons of hay, 200
bushels of wheat and all his harness, and
in the sheds were his farm implements
and tools.
A barn on Senator Gaunt's farm at
Mullica Hill, tenanted by Ellis Reed,
was burned.
Joseph Locke, a young farmer near
Clayton, was killed while standing in a
draft between open windows.
The large oil tank at Marcus Hook was
set on fire and burned all day Saturday
and Sunday.
Several trees and other buildings were
struck in South Jersey and damages
made.
Another storm passed over Penn's
Grove Tuesday afternoon. There was
moi much electrical display but an abund-
ance OF RAIN. Vegetation has enough for
this month.

They brought with them a tall ball
tosser, Weiss from Ocean City. 1t ap-

as being insincere, but it is certain
that a religion founded on the falla-
cies of messages enscrollel on golden
plates alleged to have been left here
by them several thousand years ago
cannot be given a respected place
among the creeds of the world.
Mormonism is about stamped out in
the United States. but any aid that
can be given another country in sup
pressing it should be given cheerful
ly. The Mormons possess a great
missionary zeal and with a strong or
ganization could enter new lands and
revive the church where it is now
on the decline.

GIRLS AND SCHOLARSHIP.

Scholarship of women students as
compared with that of men students
has attracted attention at other places
than the University of Missouri. Va.
rious explanations are offered.
Prof. T. A. Clark, dean of men at the
University OF Illinois, believes men ca
pable OF just as high attainments III
scholarship as women. In an address
TO alumni of the University of Illinois
in Kansas City recently. he said:
Girls grades are per cent higher
than mems grades. This is because
they pick out curriculum that is
easier for them. The boys must choose
subjects that will help them i'll busi-
nesS."
This reasoning seems partly correct
to men at least. And in view of re-
cent comparative grades at the Uni
versity of Missouri, it is consOling
to men students.

Viewpoints.
For Fire Protection.

Editor The Missourian: Ii is time
we were having efficient fire prOteC-
ton in Columbia. There is no reason
why Columbia. when compared with
other towns its size, cannot boast
OF fire department as good as or
better than its sister cities. AS far
as paving, tall building, factories.
and other public improvements go, few
towns its size compare with Columbia.
But when it comes to fire protection
Columbia is woefully behind. Indeed,
there are many towns of five thous-
and or less that have better service
than has Columbia. To think we can't
even have a hose reel, but must double
it up in a ramshackle wagon! With
one regular fireman and a number Of
substitutes, the service is far from
being efficient. Why. know one
town of about 5000 that has good
fire engine. two hose reels, and a lad
der wagon, besides a paid force Of
three or four men.
The value OF a fire department can
not be reckoned too highly. and an ex-
penditure of much more than is nov
considered sufficient, should be made
by every city of Columbia's class.
While We are advancing so creditab!y
in other lines. is il worth while 10 neg
lect fire protection? l. it worth while
TO let more business blocks burn? Is
1t worth while to let a few more Uni
versi'y buildings be destroyed?

MORMONiSM IN ENGLAND,

About eighty years ago Joseph
Smith of Palmyra. y. Y. wrote THE
Book of Mormon said TO have been
taken from golden plates buried by
one of the Lost Tribes of Israel The
Mormans gradually moved westward
Only recently have they been dethron-
ed from their great political influence
in this country.
England is now feeling the influence
of the MormonS. 1t has been ascer-
tanned lately that more than one thous-
and official positions in that country
are filled by men of the Mormon be
lief. Further invo- -tigation has re-
vealed Il great Mormon missionary
movement taking place in the British
Isles. More than five million tracts
have been distributed among those ad-
vOcating the Mormon faith. In their
effort 10 get converts the Mormons
have held $1,000 meetings and have
entered 1000 homes.
The National Union Of Women
Workers of England has taken up
the matter and is trying to suppress
the movement. The Union is being as
sisted by the Observation-Disclosures
Council e Women of this country,
which has sent Hans Freeze to aid the
English women in their fight.
Ii is not just to regard the Mormon

SOCIALISTS.

Socialists have divided on two well
defined lines. One brancn in parti
cular is orthodox, believing in Marx
on the theory that all existing evils
can be directly or indirectly traced
10 the economic system and that i
change in the distribution of property
through the abolition of private OWL
ership will readjust society.
Another important group-Christ-
ian SociaIists-maintain that the indi-
vidual rather than the industrial condi-
tiOn needs change; that the readjust-
ment of the individual to society vii!
mean better conditions. They admit
that the industrial system is deplord-
bic, but deny that it is all-important.
They are interested in society
through the individual. II is to this
class that more constructive reform
is possible.
They are concerned with bettering
conditions for Industrial classes. Bet
ter dwellings for workers, sanitation.
purer and better cooked food and sub
stitution of fruit for liquor to check
the desire for drink are some of the re
forms sought. They hope to extend
their theory gradually from group to
group on the local option basis, realiz.
ing that law enforcement and order
exists where sentiment is strong for
il.
To this class of social workers,
much credit belongs. They are dealing
with facts, not absolute theories. Who
knows but in another decade supposed
fanatics will be refOrmers and a new
factor will be found in commercial and
social life?
