BAPTIST CHURCH AT lakewood
NOW ON SOLID FOUNDATION.

At the New Jersey Baptist Conven-
ton held recently, it was decided that
the financial condition of the First
Baptist Church of lakewood would be
entirely assumed by the Convention,
monthly Building & Loan dues and
the small weekly expenses. This is
a great burden lifted, for while the
church has been kept entirely III of
debt, it has been done by the efforts
of a few, and the big sacrificing by
one member in particular. DIR. Bailey,
of Atlantic City, DR.. Hewlett, of the
First Baptist Church, of Atlantic
City, a number of other gentlemen of
that church, DR.. West and DIR. Fol-
som are to be thanked for the ac-
complishment of this. Rev. DeWolfe,
Secty. of the Baptist Convention of
New Jersey, wrote the lakewood
church a letter of hearty approval in
connection with his announcement of
the taking over of the financial mat
ters. He appreciated the persever-
ance in spite of Encouragement, men
tioning Mr.. McDevitt as having thor
oughly done his part and more. The
Convention intends to complete the in
terror of the church and hold regular
preaching services each Sunday after
noon. Some speaker will always be
sent for this purpose. Nov. 21st, Mr..
Wright, of Atlantic City Baptist
Church, was the speaker; Nov. 2Sth,
DR.. Hewlett, of that church, was the
speaker. A large number present
each time. He and three other gem
tlemen from that church were pres
ent. One of these gentlemen, Mr..
Harry E. Pencil, is particularly in
terested in the church and Sunday
School; to this end, he, DR.. Hewlett
and DR.. Bailey were at lakewood
Friday night, Dec. 3rd, for the ar
ranging of Sunday school classes and
teachers for them. Those interested
were also present. The evening was
a social one at the home of Mrs. VIM.
A. Mcmahon.

Want Decatur Street Extended to
Doughty Road.

From time to time we see and hear
our friends say, don't knock the town
you live in, ETC." None of US, per-
haps, likes a knocker; but sometimes
we must do those things we do not
like to do; and l, with many others,
would like to ask what we elect a City
Council for? and are they performing
their proper function? To my posi-
tive knowledge their attention has
been drawn to the ridiculous condition
at West Decatur street to Doughty
Road. How long must the citizens
west of Doughty Road be compelled to
travel so far to get into town proper
to transact their business, as they
must go either to Washington avenue
! or to Church street to get to town ?
Hence many pedestrians travel down
along the Electric R. R. against the
rules. Some time ago Council had
their attention drawn to this point by
two reputable citizens. Since that
time a long petition has also found its
way to said Council and still nothing
doing. Now let me say further, there
is a fine factory site right along the
Electric r. r. and not far from the
depot, but would men with a keen
business capacity locate there if there
are no convenient streets near, where
by they could transact their business
without travelling a mile out of their
way each time. This would cause a
loss of valuable time and thus kill the
project. Aside from this point there
are many citizens who are compelled
to walk out of their wav to reach
town. What they do want is Decatur
street extended to Doughty Road. It's
but a short distance and would be a
great boon to that end of the town.
Councilmen, wake up and do your du-
! ty. A CITIZEN.

BARGAINTOWN GRANGE TO
HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING

The Bargaintown Grange extends a
cordial invitation to the public to at
tend their next meeting and enter
tainment, to be held Tuesday evening,
December 18th, at 8 D.. M, in the new
school hall.
This meeting will round out a very
prosperous year of the Grange under
the %mastership of VIM. H. Garwood.
At this meeting the installation of the
new officers will be made. Worthy
Master Garwood has proven very eff
cient in the above office for the past
year, and in passing on to Past Mas
ter is leaving the Grange in a splendid
condition of advancement in every de-
partment.
About thirty have been added to the
roll of membership during his term,
which is an unusual record. Also the
bank rolls of the grangers have been
somewhat enlarged through the untir-
ing efforts of Master Garwood in OBJ
tanning cooperation in buying grain
and other farm supplies. He, too, is
responsible for the improved social
conditions that are enjoyed in the
Grange and which have even extended
through the entire community.
1t was with regret to many grang-
ers that he refused to accept the chair
for the second term.
Prof. Elwood Douglass will lecture
at this meeting on "The ADVANTAGES
and disadvantages of Atlantic County
to the farmer"
Prof. Robert D. Maltby will give a
lecture on '"The Grange and its rela-
tionship to the community"
Several other prominent speakers
will add to the program, which also
will include several musical numbers
of fine talent obtained from different
points in South Jersey.
The ladies will serve a dainty re-
past at the close of the entertain
ment.
