A Wedding Surprise
RUSSELL~-JOHNSON

The marriage Of Miss Belle Arete JOHN
son, the weli-know druggist, and Frank
Lloyd Russell, q chemist with the du-
Pont Company has been the happy topic
in social circles the past week. The cere-
mony was performed in st. Chrysostom's
Episcopal Chapel, N. Y. March 80, 1916,
by Rev. G. n. Moller, tile vicar.
After their return from q wedding trip
they will live at al Delaware Avenue.
Since the death OF her father, DIR. May
iIew johnson in 1894, she has conducted
Johnson's drug store. She was the first
woman to pass tie examination to be-
come a registered pharmacist in New
Jersey.
Mr.. Russell was graduated from the
University OF Wisconsin in 1880, aud for
several years was engaged in educational
work. He WAS in the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, last fall for an oper-
alton on the nose, when he gave mp three
and a half quarts of blood in TRANSMISSION
operation to save the life of another pa
tient, Thomas Allerdice, a coal miner.
Mr.. RusseI's eyes were burned later Ivy

plant and his bride nursed him and help
ed to save his sight. They have known

The Sanitary Code

In other columns is the Sanitary Code.
There have been few changes except that
the minimum fues were made 81 and
10. The maxium fines are mostly what
was made arbitrary and specific in the
former code and left the Justice of the
Peace no discreation as to fines to be levi
ed according to the srbitrariness of the
offender not to make their premises as
healthful and clean as possible.
st. Paul says that law is a school mas
ter for our guidance as to the way Of
living both in morals aud health. The
Board of Health desires that this Code
becomes a school book for citizens to
study and carry into effect as proper rules
to live by on their premises. Not from
the fear of being fined, but from civic
pride and the moral obligation due Others
to preserve health and have premises
more pleasing to the eye and sense of
smell.

Last Sunday night at 7.30, the time
appointed for the opening service of the
Stephens E~vangelistic Campaign in the
large new tabernacle, the house was filled
to its seating capacity, and promptly ON
the half hour, Prof. II. Il. Storrs, open
ed his rousing song service with 300
voices strong in the chorus choir.
Evangelist Stephens was introduced to
the expectant audience by the Rev. Fred
j. Peters and he in turn introduced the
members of his party. All formality
ceased after Rev. Stephens took his place
before the people, and through his tact
full handling of his congregation, all ice
was soon broken. and folks Struggled up
as though they had known one another
FOR years.
"Five Steps to a Great Revival in
Penns Grove" was the subject of his
Introductory address. Coming with great
power, reaching and winning the hearts
of men and women. the message proved to
be the very best for the opening service.
Frankness and sincerity accompany
each word uttered by the evangelist and
the desire to see men and women lifted
to lives of usefulness to God and fellow
men is manifested throughout his per-
s~onality and Penns Grove is to be con,
graduated that it is being lead in a great
campaign for God by an evangelist that
is determined to do a real, thorough, de-
finite and lasting work for God.
Thu large chorus choir of 300 voices
led by Mr.. Storrs has already proven to
the people that their portion in all the
services is going to be a great drawing
card to the meetings. Mr.. Storrs is well
able to most competently lead these many
voices and splendid orchestra, which are
so Loyalty supporting him in his endeav-
ors to make this chorus choir the best
that he has had the pleasure of directing
this season. 1t bids fair to being so al,
ready. Mr.. Leonard Yoke, pianist, is in
dispensable to the ultimate success of
this necessary end of the work. Music
lovers are focking to the tabernacle and
are not being disappointed.

consist of so much musical talent and
there are promises of rare treats dur
ing the coming six weeks. Summing up
Tuesday nights message, Rev Stephens
brought his audience face to face wi. th
the realization that if the presence of
God were not with them during this re-
viyal, and men and women were deter
mined not to be workers, and if Chris
tians were not to be much in prayer
could be no success.
Wednesday and Thursday nights were
again messages given for the Christians
especially. workers or Strikers
which, on Wednesday night prompted
many a Christian to get into working
condition and do something for God even
If they had never done so before. Thurs
day nights message when the subject
was "A Searching Question for the Peo-
pie of Penns Grove to Answer" excited
much curiosity and brought out large
crowds to the tabernacle. The question
was based upon the scripture in Genesis
B: 9-"Where Art Thou?' Every one
faced the pointed finger of God upon
their lives. and the service viii long be
remembered in the lives of many Chris,
tians and church members, as the time
when they made a new covenant with
Goo to be workers for Him during this
great campaign for souls in Penns Grove.
The first weeks services with messages
for the Christians have been productive
of much good and nave aroused many
from their lethargy, and Indifference and
urged and spurged them on to help make
this evangelistic campaign not a burden
but a blessing which can be enjoyed by
all. Rev. Stephens is delighted at the
success of the beginning of this great
work and says that never before has he
entered into a campaign with such prom
Use from conditions and God that He was
going to turn things upside down and
give a great spiritual upheaval of bless
ing and right living.
