SPEAKS ON REDEMPTION
OF LANDS OF THE BIBLE.

Mary Caroline Holmes of the Arme-
MAN and Syrian Relief Committee and
a former missionary in Palestine, was
the speaker at the war party given by
Miss Edith and Miss Lillian Foringer
at their home in Edgewater Heights
on Friday afternoon of last week. The
meeting was given in aid of the Grant
wood Congregational Church. Miss
Holmes in her talk painted glowing
picture of the redemption of the Bible
lands so long held in bondage by the
Turks. William S. B. Dana, chairman
for the four minute men of the middle
Palisades, called for solid support for
the government in the Liberty loan.

NEW 0RAk4ass1u
MINISTER MAKES
fine IMPRESSION

Grantwood had the pleasure of wei.
coming a new minister to its Congre.
gational Church last Sunday, Rev.
Noah c. Cause, formerly of Pitts
burgh, as already announced There
was large attendance out and if
there was any one disappointed in the
young dominic it was not evidenced.
In fact, it might as well be stated in
advance that Mr.. Cause made a de-
cdedly favorable impression-an I'M
usual one. He did not go at his hearers
with any thought of enchanting their
attention with a long set sermon ON
any conventional form of theology or
any departure from the accepted ideals
of the Christian faith. He said at the
outset that he wanted merely to talk
that day in order to cover certain ideas
as well as ideals for which he stood.
and he thought ne might disappoint
those of his congregation who had
come out of curiosity to hear the new
minister. He urged these to try again
next Sunday, when he might be in
duced to be a regular preacher This
provoked smile and set at rest any
ideas any one might have
that the new minister did not have an
appreciative sense of humor.
Mr.. Cause is a young man, looking
forty or less, with a mature forehead,
studiOus of expression, a light blue eye
that looks straight into the eyes of
his hearers. He undoubtedly pos
sesses fine vocabulary, for his talk
was purely extempore, yet it contained
many eloquent passages that pleased
all who heard him. He is easy in de-
livery and at home in the pulpit He
is never at loss for the proper word
and has that greatest of all elements
of the successful speaker, great deal
of feeling. He, of course, had no text.
He admitted that the last seven days

The community of Palisade was
greatly shocked last Tuesday by the
unexpected death of young Winter
Ebell, third son of Mr. and Mrs. Ebell
of Bluff road and Bersford Park, Pali-
SADIE. The lad was up and around up
to Sunday last, when he did not get
up as usual. He had had slight cold
for a day or so, or what was regarded
as that. He was not looked upon as a
very sick boy, but the disease rapidly
developed into what the physician, DIR.
Beiser of New York, declared was
pleuro-pneumonia. He grew much
worse as Monday passed, and during
the night was critically i'll, getting
worse every hour. He fingered until
Tuesday morning about ten O'Clock,
when he passed away with his family
near. Other physicians were called in
consultation, Drs. Sheiner of New York
and Conner of Fort Lee. Oxygen and
other well known restoratives were re-
sorted to, but without avail
The case was a very sad one. Its
suddenness was unusual, and the great
est interest was manifested in the
whole village. Winter Ebell was born
/ September 8, 1908, in New York city

years ago. Winter was retiring boy

greatest reader in town. He was a
typical book lover, and for that reason
did not take as much interest in ath-
letics as many other boys of his age
and set. Still, he was not regarded as
frail in any way, only he did not min
gle with the other boys as he might
have done. He wore glasses, and this
probably kept him from the more
vigorous sport He last year gradu-
ated from the Palisade Public School,
receiving his diploma at Fort Lee and
singing in boys quartette at the
commencement exercises. He entered
the Englewood High School in the fall
of 1917 and was well liked by his COM
panions there. The body was laid at
rest ON Thursday in Fairview ceme-
terry, there being no funeral ceremony
owing to the nature of the disease.
The sympathy of the community goes
out to the bereaved parents and his
other brothers and little sister,
The little procession saddened many
hearts as it slowly wendell it's way
through Palisade roadways. There was
no set funeral, owing to the nature of
| the disease that carried off the poor
boy. The parents and family were
agonized with grief, the moment being
sad beyond words Many floral tributes
were sent.

Jersey City, Oct S.-Col. J. II. Pope,
chairman of the Hudson County Elec-
ton Board and prominent Republican,
who refuses to support Baird, his party
candidate for the short term United
States senatorship, has received let

Senator Hennessy. Mr.. Hennessy says:
May | express my appreciation of
your splendid statement in the news
papers protesting against the action
of Nugent and his followers at the
Democratic State Convention in their
effort to repudiate the leadership of
President Wilson on the suffrage ques-
ton, the right determination of which
seems so essential to Americas cham
pionship of world democracy. The
now almost open alliance between
the senate, and Nugent, the Presidents
longtime obstructionist in New Jer-

bosses who have never stood for an
enlightened or liberal public policy,
