Because of failing eyesight Rev. Dr.
William NJ. Lawrence, pastor Of the
North Orange Baptist Church, Orange,
will retire from the ministry on the
seventh anniversary of his pastorate
He made the announcement to his flock
yesterday and asked to be relieved in
May.
He is threatened with total blindness,
as the result of an insect flying into
his eye five years ago, and has been
advised by physicians to retire as soon
as possible and undergo an operation.
his right eye iSApermanently injured and
the vision of his left eye is threatened,
Specialists whom he has consulted held
out the hope that surgical attention
may afford relief, but he thinks that
even if this should be realized consider
able time would elapse before he could
resume work and the interests of the
church would suffer. Although he had
told close friends of his intentions his
announcement yesterday was a surprise
to his congregation.
Speaking of his intention DR.. Law
renee said: After prayerful consider
alton | have arrived at the definite
conclusion that this step is the right
one for me to take, and the only one
which is just to my congregation and
fair to me. What it costs me to take
it, what it means to me only He knows
whom you and [ serve. But, believing
it to be His WILL take it, in the hope
that / shall continue to possess favor
and love, which is SO dear to me.
would be glad if the necessity had not
arisen, but since it has I see no other
way"
DR.. Lawrence succeeded the Rev.
DR. James Taylor Dickinson in the
pastorate The latter, after being with
the Orange church for seventeen years,
accepted a call to East Avenue Church,
of Rochester, n. y. DR.. Lawrence is
now past middle life, and he told the
members of his congregation that on
this account also he considered it ad-
visable to retire from all active minis
terial work.

Hudson Maxim Predicts Boon

Predicting a boon for Jersey COM
muters when aeroplanes are improved,
Hudson Maxim, the noted inventor,
who opened the fourth series ot lee
lures on "rhe Problems of Today" In
Unity Church, Montclair, last night,
sal there will be no dull hours of train
trips. He told his hearers that the
daily ozone flights will eXhilarate and
delight. improvements will have to be
made. however. before the husband
and father will take chance at flying
from his suburban home to his city
business in a machine that hangs his
life on a thread of wire or on frail
turnbuclsle..
What is most needed at present,
Maxim told his hearers, whose subject
was THE Aeroplane and the Warfare
and the Civilization II the Future" Is
efficient means of automatic equili-
briation. Today, he said, the greater
part of the flying machine is the man
who operates it. Certain improve
ments, he added, will make aerial
travel have special advantages, and
the dull hours of train travel of the
commuter will be changed to period
of delightful exhilaration and pleasure,
ness will be reduced one-half by going
to businei j In an aeroplane. When the
commuters life reaches that stage,
Maxim related, the unproductive, cheap
mountain and lake regions will become
dotted with beautiful villas and many
a poor farmer will get bid for his
sterile acres from some passing bird
man dropping in on him out of the
sky Even in its present form, he
added, the aeroplano has great promise
as an engine of war.
"In future wars he said, the en-
tire cloudland must be patrolled with
vigilsnt aerial scouts and cruisers
Though our whole coast line may
frown with ramparts Of war and our
navy grid us about with a wall of steel
we shall still be at the mercy of the
aerial raider, unless we ourselves are
prepared to fight fire with fire"
