before the apotheosis of the Nazarine (and no Christian scholar will deny that they were) then where is. the wisdom of shutting our eyes and minds to the fact. '.
 The clergy of our land, and of every 1apd where Christianity holds sway, claim great virtue for simply believing this ,nlythological rubbish. srfiy must be wrong and subuersive of morality and truth.
 If their system is structure duilt of borrowed legends. it is time the world knew 1t; and to keep such knowledge from the world is stepping very close upon the skirts of crime
 There is a stain of blood running thru the whole story that one might think would be disgusting to any mind niak- ing the least pretense to culture. To hear innocent little voices singing:
 There is fountain filled with blood.
 Drawn from Inlmanuels veins,
 And sinners plunged beneath thathood
 Loose all their guilty stains. Or that other good old Methodist hymn
 Washed in the blood Of the lamb'' is horrible, and I feel sure that every good mother of our land would revolt at such teaching if she gave the matter really serious thought. or permitted pure reason to assert itself.
 Unfortunately. upon the subject of re- ligion our mothers allow others of the opposite sex in most instances to do their thinking for them. Just think of bath ot bloodl Could anything be moce even as mere symbolism.
 A belief in the salvation of the race by blood whether of sheep, bullocks or goats, or even the son ot a God, may have served a purpose in certain lower mental stages of humanity, but to-day the minds and hearts of men and wonl- eu are hungering for knowledge of higher, more refined, and more divine type, and at least 8 score of our modern philosophers have wondered why the Caucasian Race cannot muster sufficient moral courage to cast aside these obsol- etc remnants of barbarism.
 What of the moral precepts of Christ ianity and whence came each tenet?
 Well let us see! At this time We shall be able to take only a superficial glance at this phase of the subject but ''tosmor- row you know will be another day Menu nearly thousand years before

Shower for Miss Lind.

Last Thursday afternoon at the
residence of DR.. and Mrs. D. A.. Nc
Rae. shower was given for Miss
Mabel Lind, who was married on
Monday evening to Duren Jack.
The house was prettily decorated for
the occasion, the color scheme being
pink and white. The flowers used
for decorating we're trilliums. A bout
forty were present and Miss Lind
was the recipient of several hand
some and useful gifts. Hearts were
suspended in various parts of the
residence and the strings to which
they were attached. were strung
through various portions of the house
and at the other end of the line was
present. Each one of those present
had to find one of the gifts. When
all the gifts had been located they
we're placed in a large basket and
were opened and admired by the
guest of honor. Mrs. McRae served
delectable refreshments, being as
sisted by Mesdames Jack, Small and
Mossman. The party disbanded
about p.. m. and each one present
wished the bride-to-be all possible

NOTES..

Mrs. G.. A. Galley had charge of the
musical part of the program and also
directed the chorus. The music was
excellent and she is deserving of
great credit for the success of this
feature of the program.
The Citizens band is splendid
organization and they more than did
their share to make the program a
success.
Company G, NJ. n. g., acquitted
themselves with credit and showed
that they have been carefully drilled.
Owen Bracken, the oldest veteran
in the county, was in town to attend
the exercises. Mr.. Bracken is "a
years old but is remarkably active
for his age. May he live to attend a
score more exercises on Memorial day
is the fervent wish of all who know
this grand old veteran. -
Rev. E. G. Lyon, who delivered
the address was not total stranger
in this village as he was a member
of the same regiment as were Ans
Howard and Wesley Page. Mr.. Igor
and Mr.. Howard were members Of
the same company and thus were
comrades in the true sense OF the
word. - ssssss - ~-~--..

J. Adam Bede Visits Princeton.

Hon. j. Adam Bede dropped in on
his Princeton friends Monday even
ing and tarried over night. Mr..
Bede visited several of his old friends
and talked a little politics on the
side. He is not making any bonn
bastic claims but he thinks Mr.. Jep-
son and Mr.. Johnson will not get all
the votes. Mr.. Bede was without a
doubt the brightest representative
this state ever sent to congress, and
he may be the first congressman from
the new Tenth district.

The Alumni Banquet.

The annual alumni banquet OF the
Princeton high school was held at
hall last Monday evening and
it was most enjoyable event. The
room was Hastily decorated in orange
and. black, the colors of the school,
and presented a neat appearance.
A bout sixty were present, including
the class of 1914.
Each of those present was pre-
sented with a sort of Introductory
card, on which was written II ann
and blank space was left in which
the name could be written. Imme-
diately under this were the words
'sWho are you?'' and sufficient space
was left wherein could be written
the names Of all those present. At
ter the cards had all been filed
those present sat down to the ban
quet table and all did full justice to
the splendid supper that was fur
nished by the Commercial hotel.
After the inner man had been salts
fed toasts were in order and Herbert
Zimmerman, who was POSTMASTER,
called upon Miss Ida May Schmidt,
of the class of 1908, for toast to the
class of 1914. The toast was pleas
ing]y responded to on behalf of the
class by Miss Nora Bryson. Miss
Dorothy Dickey then was called
upon for toast to the alumni and
it was responded to in fitting man
ner by A. Fl. Angstman of the class
of 1909. Donald Marshall then was
called upon for violin solo, which
he rendered in a truly pleasing man
ner, and responded to an encore. He
was accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Henry Avery. A reading by
Miss Alta Reichard and a vocal solo
| by Miss ETA Reichard came next and
both numbers were we'll received.
Mr.: j. J. Skahen, a member of the
board of education, being present
was called upon for a few remarks
and he gave a talk that could not
help but be beneficial to the grad
yates present. Mr. Skahen's talk
contained much sound advice and it
was attentively listened to. The
program concluded with pleasing
vocal duet by Misses Mary Shockley
and Gertrude Neumann.
The annual business meeting fol-
lowed the program and the following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, Donald Marshall,
of the class of 1910; vice president,
Joseph Trunk, Of the class Of 1914:
secretary and treasurer, Herman

points the French troops have had to
yield ground.
The Germans, in their report, say
the battle is proceeding successfully
for them. Both in London and in Paris
there is the greatest confidence, al
though some surprise is displayed at
the success of the Germans in pre-
venting the o~uttlanking movement.
There is a feeling, however, that the
Germans cannot extend their line
much further north without weakening
at some point.

TEU7ON LOSSES HEAVY
Kaiser'S Forces Suffer Casual
Ties Placed at 10000.

London, Oct. 6.-The defeat of the
German army which invaded Russia
from East Prussia appears from Rus
sian accounts to have been even more
decisive than previously reported.
According to the Russian ambassa-
dor at Rome the Germans were COM
pletely routed with a loss of 10000
men and have been forced to abandon
everything.
The Russians now are moving for
ward with the object of invading East
Prussia again. This victory, if it is
as complete as reported, is of the
greatest Importance to the Russians,
as it will prevent the Germans from
undertaking land and sea operations
which would have compelled Russia
to turn at least a part of it's attention
in this direction.
General R~ennenkampf apparently
drove a wedge between the two Ger
man forces which were advancing
upon D%ruskeniki and Ossowetz and
brought about the battle Of Augstowo,
which resulted in a Russian victory.
If the Germans have not already re-
tired from the left bank of the Me
men river at Druskeniki their defeat
al Augstowo must compel them to do
so. The moral effect of another in

No Tidings From GaIicia.
No news has been received from
the Silesian and Galician battlefelds
and probably the main armies have
not come together there. A big bat
tie cannot be delayed much longer.
however, as on the Silesian frontier
both armies are moving forward and
will meet in Russian Poland.
Before the Russian advance in Ga
licia the peasants are fleeing the coun-
try and it is reported that 10000 Of
them have reached Bohemia.
The sanitary department of Vienna
reports that four cases of Asiatic chol-
era have occurred among the troops
returning from Galicia, but that all
have been isolated.
At Antwerp, the official report says,
the situation in the fortified positions
remains unchanged.
Fighting continues also in the near
east and the Angle-French fleet has
succeeded in destroying Lustican,
outer defense of the Austrian seaport
of Cattaro.
While the Servians and Montene-
grins are attacking the outer fortified.
