Careless Smoking

From the Elizabeth Daily Journal:
1.-THE deadly cigarette is again in the
limeIight. Tt is reported that the fire
at Portland, Ore, entailing a loss of
81, 900, 900, was caused by a cigarette
thrown careIessly aside. With deadly
iteration these incidents follow each
other. Lives and property are in con
slant menace from the lawlessness of
smokers.
Careless smokers burned the Equit-
able Building in New York; the Tri-
angle Shirtwaist Factory the Bingham
o clothing factory building. They
are responsible for at least one-.ourth Of
the Fl res ia this country.
The menace will still exist until such
are held criminally responsible for the
ruin and desolation they cause. 1t Is
an easy thing to be careless-to throw
cigar and cigaretts stubs, still burning,
aside without looking to see where they

The above calls to our mind an in

night the past winter when a member
of the Wildwood Fire Com pany crossed
the street smoking a cigarette. The
sparks from that lighted cigarette flew
In several directions and If they had
fallen amidst excelsior or other infiam-
mable material there would have been
a conflagration that might have swept

and nobody would have known how it

against smoking on the street In windy

Arranging Baptist Conferences

Arranging Baptist Conferences
The Baptists throughout the state of
New Jersey are about to take a forward
step in UNCONVENTIONAL work. By
authority of the Board of Managers of
the Baptist State Convention, a series
of sectional conferences on statewide
work is now being arranged.
Rev. Chas. o. Wright of Ridgewood
has been released by his church for
such time as may be necessary to set
up and conduct these conferences. The
scheme, as at present arranged is to
get the men of the Baptist churches to-
gether in different sections of the state
at dinner. At this time the Con-
ference Team, patterned somewhat
after the order Of the Men and Religion
movement, will speak on the different
phases and opportunities of Baptist
work throughout the State.
Mr.. f. w. Aver, the President of the
New Jersey Baptist Convention, in
speaking of these conferences, says
''They will undoubtedly bring home to
every individual baptist the real sig-
~nificance of this denomination In the
state"
1t is proposed to hold three of these
conferences In the southern part OF the
state, three In the central part, and
three in the northern part of the state.
A strong effort is being made to secure
large representation from every one of
249 Baptist churches throughout the
state. AS this means a membership of
81 900, in all probability more than
1000 men will be in conference about
baptist work throughout the state
within the next two months.
