HOME FOR HOMELESS
COLORED CHILDREN

Plans are being formulated for the
establishment of a home for homeless
colored children in Atlantic county,
and those back of the movement are
engaged in procuring a charter for
the institution.
The use of a large house on a good
ly sized farm between Absecon and
Pleasantville has been donated free of
all costs for a period of five years.
The board of managers is now looking
for a competent man to take charge
of the management of the farm, and
an efficient matron to take charge of
the home and supervise the care of
the children. Applicants for these po-
sitions may communicate with Miss
Jenkins at 1911 Hammock avenue, At
lantic City.
The managers desire donations of
furniture and household goods of ev-
cry description, for those backing the
movement desire that the home shall
be opened early in March. Anyone
desiring to aid this worthy movement
may receive full and detailed infor-
nation by addressing or applying in
person to Miss Jenkins.

BISHOP AcHEsoN AT
 UNITED LENTEN SERMON
Calls Attention to The N.nberiess
 Gifts God Showers Upon Us.

The third United Lenten service was held in Trinity Episcopay church on Thursday evening with large num- Der in attendance. Rt. Rev. F. Cam pion Acheson of Middletown delivered his second sermon in the series from the text, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoeyer should believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life. The part that Bishop Acheson emphasized was "He gave His only begotten Son" Bishop Acheson said in parti

We may perform acts of love. these acts may not be seen or even heard of by the people around us bu. God sees them and rejoices at them.
 Can any parent consider giving up a daughter or son to some cause with out imagining the feeling of God when He gave His Son up to the tortures of the world? Just look at the time some of us make when we give up some earthly thing. how trivial it all seems when we think of the great gift Of God. Gods gifts are all about us and they are wonderful.

Do we thank God for the peace that this country en- joys when nations are warning across the seas? Do we ask God to preserve this peace Not as a coward afraid to fight but in the spirit of God and the love of God. Many kick at the high prices of things at the present time.
