We believe ardently in social serv-

should work out that problem for
itself. We also believe the inspira-

play upon that, lay our emphasis
upon that, and try to reveal it's
truths to present-day audiences so
they will realize it's modern applica-
tions.
And We wish to bring home the
fact that modern science does not
disprove the Bible. but strengthens
its message in every point. One man
we shall bring to Washington is
perhaps the best qualified man in
America to talk on that point. This
man is DR.. Camden NJ Cobern. of

Mr.. Wilmeth was disbursing officer OF

utmost praise was due the American
relief committee in London, which had

before the American party arrived with
the gold cargo.
Saw 10000 Refugees.
On his visits to the war-ravaged coun-
tries of Europe Mr.. wilmeth came to a
realization of the horrors and suffering
of the war. He was in Folkstone the
day after the capture of Antwerp by the
Germans, when 10000 Belgians fed there
before their conquerors.
The present war in Europe" he said,
should impress upon the people Of the
United States its horrors, and should
make the people resort to efforts that
would make for friendly relations be-
tween this and foreign countries"
American military observers assigned
TO duty with belligerents are not seeing
any actual fighting, Mr.. Wilmeth said.
Although bearing permits to see the
lighting, American officers and those of
other countries similarly assigned are
not permitted to go to the front. The

was superintendent. of home missions
in the Presbyterian Synod of Indiana,

common meeting place where ministers
and lay Christian workers might COM
bine recreation with study. That idea
was the germ Of the great Bible con-
ference now held yearly at winona

recently was introduced in the East at
Mountain Lake Park, Md. DR.. Dickey
said:
We have been true to our early aim

is not drive at any other sort OF
institution. Each has field, and
we have felt ours to be the study of

Bring Conferences to Cities.
But admirably as we were fulfilling
our mission in summer, we grew to
realize that our appeal was limited
to those folk who could afford vaca-
tions, and who could forsake other
vacation places to come to us. -.'
Hence, IL our conferences could
stimulate church vacationists In

THE NEW MAYOR.

The election in this city and county yesterday was
remarkable one in many respects. 1t a Repub-
liean landslide and the elimination of campaign
marked by extraordinary energy on the part of the
advocates of Mayor Haussling, on the one side, and
the supporters of Thomas L. Raymond on the other
There was little left undone or unsaid by the
champions of the respective candidates to promote the
preferred ones prospects at the polls,
The Evening Star urged the reelection of Mr..
Haussng because of the fact that he has proved to
be an exceptionally efficient and capable mayor of
qualities of heart and mind and commendabe ardor
in the many movements he inaugurated for the well
fare of the community The advocacy of Mr.. Hauss-
ling was founded the merits and the record of
However, that is thing of the past. Mr.
Raymond vanquished Mr.. Haussling in battle of the
ballots and he is be mayor of Newark for least
to be congratulated his victory such a sturdy

proves to be a worthy successor to Mr. Haussling in
promoting civic conditions and in activities for the
general betterment of all concerned he will indeed
have done WE'LL and in all his efforts in these direc-
lions he may assured of the cordial support of

The people have spoken and Mr.. Raymond is their
choice for mayor. May success be his lot. That the
people will lend him cheerful cooperation goes with

DEMOCRATIC LOSS IN CONGRESS.

The loss of six Democratic congressman in New
Jersey, the Presidents State is serious reverse
for the administration The issue distinctly pre-
sented in the election campaign of Endorsement of
President Wilson. This urged by all the Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress, by the Governor and
by the Democratic State Committee.
1t was believed that at least ten and probably all
the twelve districts would respond to the appeal by
eleeting Democratic representatives to support the
administration. Governor Fielder counted upon a
round dozen in an address in South Jersey.
The belief also entertained that the European
war would strongly incline voters to support Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress, the principle that
it is impohtc to change the government in time of
great emergency 1t appears that this consideration
had little effect upon the minds of voters The senti-
ment growing out of the European war seems to
have had effect the campaign in New Jersey or
throughout the country.
1t was this sentiment and opposition to change
of policy at Washington that counted upon to dis
arm the resentment against the reductions in the
tariff 1t is evident that that feeling survived.
