The total expenses of the State gov

81, 1911, were $40, I53, 202. 81, as shown
by the annual report of State Comp
trOller Edward l. Edwards, which was
submitted to the Legislature. The re-
port shows that the gross receipts for
the year were $0,917, 795. 03. Thus it
will be seen that the expenditures were
more than the It ceiptS to the extent of
ST, 235, 407. As. The large balance in
the state treasury Oct. 81, 1910 pre-
vented a deficit during the past fiscal
year, The cash balance in the treas
ury Oct. 81, 1911, was s. ,309, 78I. 20,
compared with the balance the year
previous of 81, $40, I66. IS. Comptroller
Edwards says that this decrease in the
| gross balance is accounted for from the
fact that of the balance at the close of

payable to counties for school purposes,
while of the balance at the close of the
current fiscal year approximately
81. 600, 900 is payable for school pur-
poses. The increase in receipts during
the year amounted to 1882, 625. 27,
while the increase in disbursements
was So, 482, 536. 81. Two extraordinary
disbursements were made during
the year, one being the adjustment

lowing is the answer quoted from a Com
panion editorial:
"They lived according to their means;
they did not set up impossible standards,
and they knew much less about the
science of bringing up children. They
had no special style to keep up; gave the
children a weekly bath; kept the table
set between meals; did not serve their
meals in courses, but put all the food ON
the table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties, and
church suppers. at which they wore the

seasons; every woman did only what she
could, and her friends made it easier for
her by doing likewise"

CALL TO ACTION. ...aars

Q That the Lords Day is in a state of
humiliation in New jersey is a fact
evident to all observers. On all sides
we behold the Sacred Day degraded in
to holiday. Last winter in the face
of the protest Of 1,80U churches, a Ju.
dietary Committee at the behest of a
few sporting men, advanced a hostile
Sunday bill to the Assembly for its
consideration. The Assembly by a
majority of six votes passed the bill;
and were it not for the fact that this
bill was lost in the Senate, New Jersey
would to-day have no Sunday Law
worthy of the name.
That such action was possible on the
part of the Assembly in Trenton speaks
loudly of the Indifference of the
Churches; and of the contempt in watch
the Lords Day is held by those who
ought to be its natural guardian.
The Lords Day Alliance of New
Jersey once more declares its loyalty to
our Sunday Law, and its determination
to defend this law.
This winter, doubtless, efforts will be
made to amend the Sunday Law; but
our representatives in Trenton should
be made to know that the Christian
people of this State are opposed to such
action on their part, and will hold them
to strict account on this matter. Dur
ing the past year the Lords Day Alli-
ance of New Jersey has won victories.
chief of which is the aroused public
conscience of the people, and a determ-
nation expressed by many heretofore
look warm, to defend the Sacred Day.
This Alliance re~iterates what it has
said before, that if the State of New
Jersey r%epudiates the venerable Sunday
Law, the moral loss it will sustain will
be irreparable, for the Sunday Law is a
part of the fundamental law of the land.
