uNNorlcED HEROES

There are heroes who have never
Heard the fearful din of battle,
Heroes who, unknown forever
Labor where no sabers rattle.
There are heroes who are giving
Joy to others, day by day.
Who are making life worth living
just by earning honest pay.
There are heroes who are wearing
No bright medals for their merit, i,
Heroes who may not be sharing
Splendor that the proud inherit;
There are heroes who prefer the
Tasks Of righting wrongful things.
And thus make themselves more wor.
thy
That the pampered sons Of kings.
There are heroes uncomplaining.
Who are striving, daily, yearly.
So the goals we would be gaining
May each morning shine more
clearly;
There are heroes, unrswarded.
Who, by toiling late and long
In surroundings that are sordid,
Help the luckless to be strong.
There are heroes with wan faces.
Who uplift their fallen brothers;
Heroes who, in lowly places.
Labor for the love Of others.

them
For the courage they reveal2

Tor their patience and their zeal?

Bless New Bell OF
The Epiphany Church

The big bell that will chime from
the tower of the new Epiphany
R. G. Church, on Knox avenue and
the trolley, was blessed on last Sun
day afternoon by Rev. A. j. Ferretti.
The services which were very i'm
pressive were held at st. Johns
Church and were attended by several
hundred of the congregation.
The bell is the gist of Miss
Isabella Mulholland, of Grant ave-
nue., and bears an inscription to the
effect that it is given in memory OF
her beloved father and mother. Miss
Mulholland also donated the bell that
summons the faithful to worship at
the Cliffside Catholic Church.
There were ten sponsors at the
service on Sunday. The five young
ladies were robed in white, while the
five young men wore the military uni
form of the Home Defense League
The bell was set on a dais and was
banked with flowers and satin stream
ers. Father Ferretti pronounced the
blessing and delivered a short SER
mon, which was followed by benedic-
ton. The sponsors were: Miss
Mary Madden, Miss Marjorie Madden
Mss Katherine Burke, Miss Lily
Leclercq, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Fox
jr., Joseph Coughlan, Thomas Fox
j. E. Madden and George Leclercq.

Baby Parade Proved
Unusually Successful

Nothing in Cliffside Park has ever
taken hold of the people so, or been
more generally popular than the
Baby Parade of last Saturday.
Mothers universally joined in it
heartily from the very first with the
greatest interest and all parts of the
borough worked together enthusiast
cally with one common interest.
It is wonderful to realize what was
accomplished in just three weeks
time and great credit is due to the
two young kindergarten teachers,
Miss Beatrice Brown and Miss Helen
Donaldson, who inaugurated the
parade and who spared neither time
nor trouble.
The donors of prizes either in
money or articles, were: Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Co., through its
agent, Joseph Heuckler; Mr.. Beck
mann, Mr.. Michaelson, Mr.. Neumann,
Otto Schuck, Mr.. Bohm, Mr.. Good
mann, Mrs. Fox, Mr.. ]. Cohn, Wo-
mans Club, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs.
Cadien, Crown Store, Mrs. Sheehan,
Mr.. Schenck, Mr.. Rosencranz, in
Guiding every section of the borough.
Judges were: DR.. Hoff, Mrs. Cross,
of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
DR.. Smith and DR.. Brewster, for best
baby, physically; Mrs. ]. C. Vosburgh,
Mrs. Sheehan, Mrs. Arlitz, Mrs. F.
Wilson for other features of parade.
The band and fife and drum corps
headed the procession, the Hon. A
M. Agnew leading on, presenting a
baby in arms!
Then came the Cliffside Kindergar-
ten with it's banner, and it's various
costumes; Little Boy Blue on a pony
hay wagon, with a banner: Little
Boy Blue come blow your horn, your
farmers are ready and so is your
corn" Following were the tiny
farmers in overalls, sun hats, armed
with rakes and hoes. Then Sun

William Hollinger, who is supposed
to have his own views of war as a
topic, made a stirring address, and
no one could cavil at his words. He
advocated the idea of every boy doing
his fullest duty to his country, and
said he believed that the sacrifices
they were now about to make would
result in the final great victory Of
peace. He looked for the time when
nations would no longer go to war
to settle differences. He knew there
was a better day coming.
Rev. Lee w. Beattie, a former
pastor of the church, came over for
this occasion and made stirring
