RESPOND TO PLEA
FOR HIGHER SERVICE
Hearers of Evangelist at Con.
ference Pledge Themselves
TO Christian Work.

Closing the third of series of con-
ferences on religious work in Brick
Presbyterian Church, East Orange,
under tho auspices of the Ministerial
Association OF the Oranges, Rev. ].
Wilbur Chapman, of New York, last
night made an appeal to all Christians
to consecrate themselves to a higher
service in the church. The evangelist
was introduced at the evening con-
ference by Rev. John F. Paterson. of
Central Presbyterian Church, Orange,
and in the afternoon by Rev. Fred
Clare Baldwin, OF Calvary NJ. E.
Church, East Orange. At both con-
ferences there were large audiences.
Expressing his belief that the
church in this country is on the eve
OF a great spiritual upheaval, the
speaker declared that even a Chris
tian Is powerless until he allows
Christ to enter and take full possess
sion of his heart and life. He also is
sued a special appeal to clergymen to
be more Jealous in their preaching.
Mr.. Chapman chose as his text But
first they gave their own selves unto
the Lord" During his address he told
of the case of man whom he en-
countered while preaching in Aus
tralia- This man, he said. had for
fourteen years been a professional
theft and was regarded as one OF the
most dangerous criminals in that
country. He entered by chance the
building in which the speaker was
making his address and after the
meeting waited for him, requesting
that a prayer be said for him. That
man, Mr.. Chapman, added, reformed
completely, studied, and is at pres
ent a minister of the gospel in this
country.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Mr. Chapman asked all those In the
audience who wished to be more
highly eonsecrated to raise their
hands, and all in the edifice re-
sponded.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Chap
man declared that Inconsistency ir
the home, faithlessness in the church
and the Misrepresentation of Christ iT
business affairs were the principa
causes which robbed the church OF
its old power. He asserted that there
was scarcely a newspaper which wal
not full Of doubt and scarcely bool
came from the presses today which
did not seek to undermine faith. Th'
'old power" would only return to tn
| church, he concluded, when real mel
again stood in the pulpits.

Whitby Abbey, which was reported
as having been damaged yesterday
by shells from German warships, is
one of the oldest edifices In England.
1t stands on a cliff 200 feet above
the edge of the North sea 1t was
originally a Benedictine double mon
astery, and was erected in the sew
enth century. The founder was
Oswy, king Of Northumberland. st.
Hilda was the first abbess. In the
abbey was held, in the year 664, a
council to determine a controversy
about the observance OF Easter.
The dispute about the Easter event
grew out OF the differences between
the English and Celtic traditions re-
garding the time of the observance of
the festival, and the council was de-
termined on by King Oswy. At the
conference in Whitby Abbey King
Oswy, with Bishop Colman and
Bishop Chad, represented the Celtic,
or old Irish, tradition. Bishops Will
frid and Agilbert represented Rome
with Alchfrid, son OF King Oswy.
The matter was finally ended by
King Oswy, who announced he would
not offend st. Peter. lest he should
refuse me admission"
The real question based on, how
ever, was whether the church in
England would link her fortunes with
the Irish church or with the Roman
organization. The debate at Whitby
was held sixty-seven years after st.
Augustine began to Christianize the
Br.tens. In Northumbria the Irish
missionary, St. Aidan, was first to
preach the gospel.
Wrecked BY Danes.
Aelfida, daughter of King Oswy,
succeeded st. Hilda when the latter
died about $50. About the year S67,
the Danes entirely destroyed Whithy
Abbey and the abbot. Titus, was
forced to seek refuge at Glastonbury.
No attempt was made to rebuild the
until after the Norman
invasion and conquest. Whitby Alb
hey was then given to Hugh Lupus,
first Earl of Chester. Lupus later
assigned the buildings to William De
Percy, ancestor of the Earls of North
who re-established Whit
by.
Remford, a monk, of Evesham, was
made abbot of Whitby by its new
founder, who richly endowed the abb

granted to whitby Abbey by Will

WHITBY ABBEY is ONE OF
OLDEST RUINS IN ENGLAND

the middle ages the abbey was dam
aged several times by pirates. When
Henry VIII, suppressed the religious
orders in England the abbey at
Whithy was practically destroyed.
The surrender was made in 1b4O, the
site and ruins being turned over some
years later to John, Earl of War
wick. Most of the walls remained
standing until 1853. when the western
side collapsed. In 1880 the remains
OF the central tower fell down.
The coat of arms of the abbey con-
sists of three snakes rolled up and
is said to have its origin In fossils
found on the shore nearby. Regarding
these fossils, Camden writes in his
Britannia" Here are found stones
resembling snakes rolled up. You
would think they had once been
snakes covered over with crust Of
stone"
Poems of Caedmon.
Caedmon was probably the most
famous of the monks of Whitby Abb
hey. He is the author OF Biblical
poems In Anglo-Saxo and he died in
the latter part of the seventh century.
Bede, the venerable historian, who
died in 735, in his Ecclesiastical His
tory of the English Peo le," makes
special reference to Caedmon as q
Celt, whose name was probably Brad
ley. Caedmon was first merely
laborer in the employ of the monks
at the abbey. 1t is related that one
night when the harp was being passed
from hand to hand by the monks,
Caedmon, knowing nothing of poetry,
lett the table for shame, as he had
often done before. and retired to the
stable, where he had care OF the cat
tie. AS he slept there came to him a
vision In which someone called him
by name and told him to sing. ~
cannot sing, and therefore I left the
feast" said Caedmon. Sing to me,
however; sing to creation" said the
voice. Thereupon Caedmon began to
sing in praise of God verses which he
never had heard before. Bede, in his
history gives the Latin equivalent OF
the verses sung by Caedmon, as well
as other verses.
Caedmon became a monk after the
members of the monastery y ere as
sured he had received divine glfe.
The Caedmonian poems are to be seen
IN the Bodleian library, in tenth CEN
tury manuscript. The literary value
of the saints verses Is high. In one
part the story of the flight OF Israel
resounds with the march of armies
and turmoil of camp and battle.

Eighteen When She Wed.
Mrs. Prince was formerly Miss
Marian DeForest Cannon. she was
only eighteen years old when she was
married to Prince IN April, 1912. He
was twenty-one at the time. Young
Mr.. and Mrs. Prince went to Europe
on their honeymoon, and New York
society, In which the families of both
of them were prominent, was much
shocked when Mrs. Prince returned
from abroad alone, after about a
month to tell her friends that she and
her husband had had a disagreement
and that she had left him for all me-
When young Prince came back
from Europe he lived at his father 8
home in New York. Soon he OBJ
tained a position in the home offices
of the Prudential Insurance Com
pany in this city. In the same office
with him Miss Naylor was employed.
Office associates were unaware OF the
attachment that sprang up between
young Prince and the stenographer er,
and they were as onished when the
pair resigned their positions on Ap IL
2s last and disappeared. Soon friends
of Miss Naylor limited that she and
young Prince had fed to Canada to-
gether. Miss MAYORS mother was
prostrated. Professor Prince at first
denied that his son was missing, but
later said the vour,e man had gone
to Canada on business.
Mrs. Prince began her suit for d.
vorce in the Supreme Court of West
chester county on September 16 last.

Suspect Activity of Spies
Because German Ships Had
Accurate Range of Forts


HARTLEPOOL, via London. Dec
17.-The first men OF Lord Kitchener's 8
new army to come under fire were
the local militia, who were sent out
to man the defense trenches on the
sea front when the German raiders
appeared. They were shelled by the
enemy, who had the range Of the
new defenses with accuracy, which
suggests information by spies.
The militiamen stood their baptism
of fire splendidly, especially when II
is considered that they were power
less to make a reply, as the firing had
to be left to the navy guns.
The officer in charge had q narrow
escape when a shell struck the earth
mound, burying him and three men
in the trench. Fortunately all four
were unhurt.
The casualties in the trenches were
four killed and fourteen wounded
most of these in a single company.
