meeting links and gangs Of laborers
have been at work this week near
Pennsville grading and making ready
for the laying of more rails and plac-

will also be a sub-station at South
Pennsgrove. The electric current for

ton The firm of Stern & Silverman
are the contracting engineers on the
trolley road.
Il has been a little more than a year
since business men Of Salem and
capitalists OF Wilmington took up the
trolley project and worked to make
the long-dreamed-o line along thu
river front from Pennsgrove TO Sa-
lem a reality. Business men of Sa-
lem raised $4,000 as their share tow
ard the project and the duPonts are
said TO have subscribed heavily to
the stocks.
The installation Of a sure and salts
factory mode Of transportation be-
tween this town and powder works
and villages will be a big boon to the
$4,000 workers and their families,
most OF whom have 10 travel a con-
siderable distance between their
homesDand the factories daily.
Few places have ever experienced
such deplorable condition of streets
as has Pennsgrove during the last
few months. Literally torn to pieces
by the heavy traffic run over them
when great quantities of heavy ma
terial were carted 10 the powder
plants and the new villages for Tho
worBmen. the bottom dropped out of
the roads last fall, and since then
the main street and road between the
town and the powder plants has lost
all semblance of a highway and has
become a succession Of dangerous
mudhoIes and hollows. Excavations
for the trolley line have made the
road even worse and parts of it,
which during the winter sucked in
scores of automobiles and other We
hicles, are still impossible.
Jitneys flourished by the hundreds
when the powder boom was in its first
flush, and to some extent they served
to solve transportation problems fer
the workmen When the roads be-
came so bad last winter most of the
iitneys were compelled to drop out
and those that could operate charged
passengers as high as 80 cents and 81
for the two-mile trip to the works

most persons prefer to walk. The
powder company has maintained a
special train service to get its en-
ployes to and from the plants.
A contract has been awarded for the
building Of a new macadam street
and road, and work upon this has
already been started, so that by an
other year It is expected that COM
munication between this rejuvenated
old town and its younger and likewise
bustling neighbors in the new powder
villages will be easier and decidedly
more comfortable by road as well as

When Paul obeyed the call of the
west he made Phillip his headquar-

city appealed to Paul not because it
was the center of heroic deeds and
famous battles fought by two mighty
nations which had contended for the
possession of its strategic site that
made ii the natural meeting point of
commerce from the east and west, but
because 1t furnished him with the
strategic place to commence his war

the work of Paul and his co-laborers
in the city was crowned with success.

prosperity that marked the commence

the signal for battle with the hosts of
darkness. 1t started with a street inter-
view with a poor. demon possessed girl
group of owners, who had CONNER

The citizens of Phillip considered that
she was possessed by the spirit of
Python. and Paul was troubled by her
public testimony concerning his work.
Jesus refused to accept demoniacal
support. Paul followed the example
of Christ and summoned the spirit to

word of healing Paul put to an end

Apostolic Trial.

Paul had faced angry mobs insti-
gated by Jewish enemies. but now for
the first time he came face to face with
q heather mob aroused by men who
publically claimed to be DESTROYS only
Of the welfare OF the city. but who
were inspired by their greed for gold
TO oppose Paul. Just as long as the
apostle. however. did not interfere
with their methods of securing gold by
selling the services OF the wretched
and unfortunate girl whose crazy
antics were a source of revenue to her
owners they never raised question
about his ministry. The moment any
minister starts crusade against the

tremble, shook the foundations of the

down the stocks that held the prisoners
bound. The extraordinary manifesto

that time as supernatural Whether

think. because the only difference be-
tween the supernatural and the natural
is one Of frequency and infrequency.
that brings about the daily natural
events as He Is in the law that brings
to pass the occasional supernatural
events.
The freedom given by the earthquake
was not taken advantage of by the
apostles. because they saw the hand
of God opening a door of service in the
confusion that quickly followed the
terrific crash that aroused the jailer
from his slumbers to his danger The
dramatic incidents that followed in
rapid succession, ending in the CONVEX
sion of the jaiier. illustrates the quick
ness Of Paul to take advantage of every
opportunity and his effectiveness as a
preacher Of the gospel His call for the

throbbing heart, ''Sirs. what must 1 do
TO be saved?"
Paul rejoiced when he heard that crv

The conviction of sin had filled the
Roman Official with conception of it's

apostles answer TO this all important
question involved the two central prin-
ciples of Christianity-faith and obedi-
ence. The offer of salvation was given
TO him and his whole household upon
the same conditions as 1t is offered
today to men. The Lord Jesus was
to be the object OF their affections. the
one toward whom their love. reverence.
spiritual emotions and feelings of a
religious nature were to go out in
loyal admiration. Not only were they
they were also to take the Lord as
their pattern and guide in all of the
ways Of their life. The jailer proved
his faith by first washing the dis
ciples' backs. that had been covered
with blood by the stripes and then be-
ing baptized. After his baptism the
prisoners were invited into his home
TO partake of feast, 30 that the night
