Palisade Union Church
Showing Increased
General Interest

Last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Barsom con-
Quoted his second service as the
pastor of the Union Church, of Pail
SADIE. He delivered a short and thor
oughly interesting sermon on
Faith" His talk was well put to-
gether. He began by citing Old
Testament examples to show where
faith had won the day when every
other resource had failed. He then
spoke of the present situation in the
Christian Church, and advised the
"old-time religion" that is, simple
faith, as the remedy. Mr.. Barsom
is an earnest and convincing speaker,
and does not make the fatal mistake
of talking too long.
A delightful feature of last Sun
days service was the singing of a
soprano-tenor duet by Mrs. H. T.
Middleton and Mr.. John Eisele, jr.
The song, "One Sweetly Solemn
Thought" is one which is general
favorite with everybody.
The unofficial count of Sundays
attendance was forty-one, consider
able increase over the usual gather
ing. The church was comfortably
filled, and there was not that feeling
of emptiness which there is some
times when but mere handful
gathers.
The Sunday Services now started
at the following hours: Sunday
school, 10 a. M, Church, 1880 a. M,
Young Peoples Meeting, 7:30. p. m.

assembly session on Monday after
noon, and it is planned to make these
sessions a weekly event. The pro-
grams for these sessions will be in
charge of and managed alternately by
the Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores,

in charge of the faculty and proved
to be most interesting. Principal
Bray spoke on "School Spirit" and
urged the school to support the foot
ball team and to have large band
of rooters on hand at each game; he
said that this was one splendid way
to demonstrate school spirit. Sew
eral of the teachers delivered short
talks and Joseph Marini gave a
thirty minute address on the life of
Christopher Columbus. The session
closed with singing.

Guests Delightfully."-
Entertained AT Lucht's

Ellen, Harry and Howard Lucht
entertained a number of their friends
at party last Saturday evening at
their home on Fulton terrace. 1t was
a jolly crowd that gathered for the
evenings festivities, and it frolicked
and made merry until the early
hours of the morning. There was
dancing on the lawn and on the
porch; there were games in the par
lor and games out on the lawn, there
were recitations, sentimental and
funny songs, comedy sketches, mono
logues, exhibition dancing and other
stunts that made the young people
jolly and happy. There were two
tables bountifully laden with choice
and delicious things to eat and drink,
that tempted the palates of the
young people and gave them greater
relish for the merrymaking.
Miss Helen Coonan and Ranney

exhibited a number of the new and
fancy steps from the Castle House;

Kerwein Giuen
Rousing Welcome
At CeUa's Hall
Candidate for Mayor Speaks
at Republican Entertainment
and Makes Strong Points in
AnsWer to Opponents

In spite of the existing weather
conditions, rain and extreme heat,
the residents of the Borough of Fort
Lee gathered at Cella's Hall in large
numbers on Thursday to enjoy a
pleasant evening at the expense of
the Republican Club of that borough.
Between the attractive and enter
tanning motion pictures which were
thrown on the screen, a few political
talks of short duration were given.
Samuel j. Corker presided and in
troduced the speakers in his usual
humorous and forceful manner.
Arthur E. Kerwein was the first
speaker to address the audience and
called forth many rounds of ap-
plause. His speech, in short, was a
refutation of the many charges
brought against him by his oppo-
nents in local newspaper. Mr.. Ker-
vein did not take long to get to the
meat of the situation, and surprised
his hearers by producing some amaz-
ing figures in connection with the
borough's affairs, which called forth
a storm of applause each time he
made point. His figures are pub
lished in another column. Mr.. Ker-
vein looked very happy afterward
over the ovation he had received.
Due to Mr.. Hills unavoidable
absence, A. j. Kirby, candidate for
the council, took the floor in behalf
of himself and his running mate Mr.
Hill. Although short, Mr.. Kirby's
speech was to the mark and asked
for the support of Mr.. Hill and him
self from the people at the coming
election, for, as he put it, Mr.. Ker-
vein could not carry out his ideas
unless men were elected who were
in sympathy with him.
After the speeches and some more
movies" in which Charlie Chaplin
held the audience convulsed, the
chairs were cleared away and dane
ing was in order until late hour.
Buttons containing the picture of
Mr.. Kerwein were handed out by the
hundreds and more than one young
ster went home happy with his pock-
cts bullying.
The hall was packed to capacity
and at least three or four hundred
people must have been present.

DR.. J. E. White, of Grantwood,
made a plea this week for the or
ganizing of the young women of the
borough into Y. M. G. A., or other
such club, for educational and So
cial purposes. The doctor suggested
that night classes with lectures on
business and technical subjects, such
as craftsmanship, accounting, engin-
eering, and science would be well
coined by a considerable number of
young men.

Raise Everything at Home.

Now that King Cotton has been
practically dethroned it behooVeS
every wide awake farmer to raise
everything possible at home. For
many years p asst the farmers
have been advised to olive at
home" but the necessity for put
ting that great economic prlnc'-
pie into practice was never great
er than at present. The farmer
who does raise his food stuffs at
home can afford to live comforta-
bly, without any very large eX-
penditure Of cash money while
the man who is satisfied to follow
along in the old one crop rut and
depend upon buying everything
that his family consumes must
expect to experience hard times
ere long. y
