Congregational Church Notes.

The mid.week service will be held in
the chapel tonight at 7.30 o'clock.
The topic is. 1.-The Ideal Church. ;"
This should prove very suggestive and
practical.
Morning worship Sunday at tn
usual hour. The pastor will present
some important theme and the choir
will render some inspiring music. All
not worshipping elsewhere will be
cordially welcomed.
The Sunday school will meet at the
close of morning worship. Lesson sub
ject, "Elijah Taken up into Heaven. I"
Glasses for all ages already formed
and all who can join us are urged to do
so.
The evening service will be held in
the church at 7.15. It will be union
service. Miss Sessions of the Kurn
Hattin Homes will address the meet
ing. You will be interested in what
she has to say. An offering for the
homes will be received. Let all who
can be present.
Rally day was duly observed Sunday
and the attendance at all the services
of the day while not all that we
wished, was certainly very encourag-
ing. The Sunday school especially
made noticeable gains and the services
by the different classes were much en-.
joyed. The evening attendance was
also somewhat larger. The music by
the choir at the morning service re-
ceived very favorable comments A
good choir to aid in the evening SER
vice was also present. Let the good
work go on.
The social gathering held last week
in the vestry and parlor under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid society had
large attendance and was q most
delightful as we'll as successful affair.
The program Of music and readings
had just enough spirit in it to make it
interesting and enjoyable. There was
ample opportunity for social inter
course. The contest based UPON our
popular anthem, "America," occa-
stoned not little merriment and also
set US at work refreshing our memor.
les. The light refreshments without
which no such gathering is quite com.
plete. were abundant and served ir
very pleasing and satisfactory mar
ner. The committee having the mat
ter in charge we'll deserve hearty
congratulations.

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL Is. 1915.
cH1EF JUSTICE GUNnIERE RENAMED.

Governor Fielder today settled all questions as to
the chief justiceship by sending to the Senate the
name of William s. Gummere, the incumbent, to sue
ceed himself.
The bitter attacks and unsubstantiated charges by
enemies of the distinguished Newarker fell nat when
confronted by cold hard facts to the chief justice
reputation for fair dealing and expounder of the
a as II is given to him and other judges to interpret,
as shown by oHcal court records and the testimony
Of eminent Jersey lawyers practicng in the courts
over which the chief justice has presided for years
Governor Fielder was not swayed by camor that
lacked dignity and foundation, but as the Evening
Star announced yesterday, would assuredy as law
YER give due consideration to the petitions of mem
bers of the bar of the State and reappoint Justice
0ummere.

But apart from this partisan political considera-
kion there was every for continuing Justice

past decade and a half His service the Supreme
Court bench runs back even further, he was first
appointed justice In 1895, and during these twenty
years he has brought the duties Of his position

tegrity.
Chief Justice Gummere, despite his long judicial
career is yet in the prime Of lfe-sixty-three-and
another term of seven years will bring him to age

Jersey his schooling IN department of his varied

and the may be said Of his ancestry his father

Justice Gummere has always kept aioof from par

probation of the law rs he found It, Some Of his
judicial uterances have been criticised by people who
fail to realize that II is the part Of upright magis

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Rest and Slow Thinking the Cures for
stuttering.
BY DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBERG.
a. B., NJ A. M. D. (John Hopkins).

Rest and Slow Thinking tho Cures for
Suffering.
With few exceptions, perhaps, no
man or woman should be a sufferer.
Even If one Is so unfortunate as to
have inherited some structural defect
not remedial by a surgeon, much OF
the trouble may be eliminated. Un-
luckily, most Sufferers visit doctors
for a cure. Once the painstaktng ply
sician has made thorough diagnosis,
however, the victim should HE him
self to a patient elocutionist or vocal
department studio for appropriate
syllable exercises and oral gym
nastics.
You may recall the artificial distinc-
tions between the two conditions
stammering and suffering. The slut
terer Is one who pronounces all con-
sonants and combinations of conson-
ants correctly. He speaks even as
YOU and I, except when interrupted by
irregular movements of irrelevant
spasms of the muscles of the wind
pipe, throat, mouth, tongue, palate or
lips.
Rapid thoughts often block the COM
plete action of the vocal apparatus
and thus instigate the trouble. The
initial letters and initial syllables do
not come freely, because thoughts fly
ahead of muscle action and an un-
conscious airbrake or cramp holds up
vocal movements until q right-of-
way is declared open.
The prime essential in the cure de-
pends upon rest. A stutterer must

"sir-A communication by an anon
ynoous anti-suffragist IN your rs
sue of April sets forth claim
as 20 the number Of women opposed
to suffrage in this country that ID
,arvhable In It's absurdity. This
statement gives, in round NUMBERS
the number of women over twenty
one In the country as twenty-four
roiIl,on. the number of those enfran-
chised rs something over three MIL
lion and a half, the number oeiohs-
inv To suffrage associations as some
thing over six hundred thousand, and
then subtracting the enfrancnlseo
ana the enrolled members OF Suffrage
organizations from the whole num-
ber. declares that over twenty mil
I,or women in this country are op-
posed to suffrage.
"on what ground do the anti
.uffragists claim that all the women
not enrolled are opposed 70 suffrage?
Are the only Republicans In the coun-
trv those who belong to Republican
ciubs? Are the only Democrats those
belonging to Democratic clubs? Are
those who actually belong to churches
the only ones who believe in the
Christian religion? Why should an
assumption be made in regard to
suffragists which cannot for mo-
ment hold with another creed on
earth?
Fortunately this claim. continu-
ally put forth by the ants, has been
disproved by paper which for years
has been one of the most earnest op-
ponents OF equal suffrage, the New
York World.
'sThe World has rendered one OF the
greatest services ever performed for
the suffrage movement. Silently,
without one word of publicity, It sent
out thousands Of return postal cards
to women in New York city, asking
whether they were for or against suf-
frage. 1t did not publish what 1t was
doing, because 1t did not want either
the euffragists or the antis to make
efforts to roll up the replies 1t
wanted an absolutely spontaneous re-
suit from the mass of New York
women. It received 119, 800 replies; a
very fair straw vote for that city.
OF these, 85,S97 were for suffrage;
24,093 were against; majority for SUI
frage. 61.so4.
"This was an absolutely unpreju-
diced result, not worked up by any
one. The World we'll knew that If II
announced it's intention, the suf-
fragists of New York would work like
beavers to secure a favorable result.
Nobdy was more surprised and de-
lighted than the suffragdsts when the
result was announced. And the
| World has come out for suffrage, de-
cIaring that It takes this action,
changing It's policy Of years, because
| from It's own canvass 1t is convinced
| that the women want the ballot.
There Is no earthly reason why
| this result may not be regarded as
typical in any American city outside

antis, calmly disregarding it, will &C

those sufrragists who feel strongly
enough on the subject to give time,
work and money to the heartbreanng
labor of carrying on these great cam
paigns.
ALSO, why did your anonymous
anti correspondent reckon all the
enfranchised women of America
among the suffragists? II equal suf-
frage is so bad a thing, why have
not some portion, at least, Of the
women who groan under Its burden
In the suffrage States risen to ally
themselves with the opposition?
"At the primaries in Topeka, Kan,
week before last, b,1s6 women cast
their votes. In the whole State of
Kansas there were never more than
5000 women actually enrolled as dues
paying members of suffrage leagues
before they got the vote. In Chi
cago, April 8, scores Of thousands of
women voted. Not one per cent. Of
them were ever enrolled in the suf-
frage clubs Of Chicago before they
got the vote. In our movement, as In
every other, q handful do all tho
work and give ali the money. But
that handful could not win elections

a REACTIoNARY LEGISLATURE.

The Albany Legislature was expected to have re-
dictionary tendencies but it has exceeded all expecta
tions It Is turning back the hands Of the clock To
the bewfdered voters of the State who watching
the performance of their misrepresentation at the
reacted fifty years and is about to wipe out all the
humane laws that have been enacted in that time
The canning bill is only of the extraordinary
measures favored by this medieval Legislature,
which would condemn women and children to labor
seventy-two hours a week, six days of twelve
hours each. These unfortunates are not protected
by labor unions Among robust members Of these
unions eight hours constitute days work, with
short day on Saturday, making from forty-four to
forty-eight hours per week The canning woman and
child must work twelve hours each Of the six days OF
the week.
Legislation of late years has considered human
welfare. In our own State some years ago there was
no protection in the law for woman and child labor
or for any labor that did not protect itself by COM
bination. In South Jersey thousands OF mill workers
lived in a state of peonage and were literally en-
shaved. Children shaved in glass factories at night
work Child labor almost universal in the State
And brutal statutes borrowed from England of 200
years ago tied the hands of organized labor Re-
sistance was criminal conspiracy.
New Jerseys laws have since been humanized.
