"JoNAHS OF AMERICA" NOVEL
TITLE OF SERMONS AT PAIL
SADIE CHURCH..

Rev. H. P. Guhse has begun the
preaching of a series of sermons I'M
der the general title of Modern
Jonahs of America" the first of which
was begun last Sunday before a good
sized congregation, the subject being,
Taking to His Heels" The explana-
ton of the character of Jonah was
given as that of a man who was much
more than the reputation he bore. No
character in all the history had been
the butt of so many jokes as Jonah,
he said, because of the association of
the whale story Whether a whale
ever really swallowed Jonah, was, of
course, a mooted question. At any
rate, taking the cue from the life of
Jonah, it remained fact that many
people were legitimate Jonahs because
they were factors Of distrust, blum
der and everyday error. The great
American Jonahs were those who
cried america first" in sort Of
camouflage, with little or no sincerity
behind the boast These were the
ones to be mistrusted in this day Of
world-riven anxiety and turmoil. TAX
ing the sermon as a whole it was
highly interesting from start to finish.
The talk to the children was also
very fine 1t was about the most
vicious animal" spoken of in the
Bible. None of the children could
guess what it was, some of them say
ing it was an elephant, a lion, tiger,
etc. One little chap insisted that it
was a snake. But it is the tongue.
"The tongue can no man tame" says
the Good Book. He then went on to
tell how evil words could even be the
cause of the death of people; it could
DESTROY character and do more harm
than any wild beast of the forest. He
told the children that fair play was
the greatest thing in the world for any
play is at the bottom of all life, he
one to learn and live up to. Fair
said. Words can kill as surely as
bullets The old Hebrews thought
that all spoken words would always
sting, would never die. Now, chill
dren, remember the fiercest thing in
the world, and let us all try to make
it the best thing in the world"
The decorations for the day were
wild, azalia leaves taken from nearby
swamps, and were very beautiful.
The flowers were chrysapthemums
and asters in many colors.
Next Sunday Miss Kenworthy is to
sing a solo and Miss Donaldson will
play a violin accompaniment besides
playing a duet with Mr.. Moody on the
organ. The attendance is improving.
There were almost seventy people
present Sunday, including about
twenty children. The minister made
strong appeal in behalf of the Sun
day school,

"APPLE BLOSSOMS" CONTINUES
TO BREAK GLOBE RECORDS.

So insistent and unprecedented Is
the demand for reservations at the
New York Globe Theatre to see
Charles Dillingham's charming pres
entation of Apple Blossoms" the
first contribution to light opera by
Fritz Kreisler, celebrated violinist,
who wrote the score in collaboration
with Victor jacob, to William LIE Ba-
ron's brilliant libretto, that three mat
inees were given this week. Apple
Blossoms" by the way, continues to
create new box Office records at this
fashionable and coy little play
house, and may now be safely set
down as the musical comedy sensa-
ton of the current season, with wild
er appeal than any attraction previ-
ously produced by Mr.. Dillingham;,
combining as it does the serious at
tention of music lovers and opera
goers and the enthusiastic admira-
ton of the regular Globe Theatre
clientele as well.

Mr.. kELLY'S MEETING so DRY 1T
RATIFIED AND 1T WAS A WET
NIGHT.

The public meeting of the Palisade
improvement Association took place
as advertised ON Thursday evening of
last week, some forty odd people be-
ing present.
Whatever the intent behind such
a meeting it did not accomplish a
great deal, and as a gathering was
as dry as bone or a past due bean
in a dried-up pod. President Vim
cent B. Kelly presided and after an
informal talk telling why the meet
ing was called, introduced Judge Sen
fert, the associations attorney, who
talked nearly half an hour dwelling
section and how he once roamed these
hills behind bird dog and a shot
gun. This was very entertaining.
He has told it many times before,
however The ex-judge then talked
about restrictions and the coming
system and a building code and told
of the difficulties in having one for
the borough of Fort Lee because of
the difference in the character of the
various localities in it, etc, and
closed by saying that all we now
need to do is to appeal to the council
and we'd get what we ask. He said
nothing as to why it had not been
done before or why it is promised
now. The judge finally drifted away
with smile and was gone in the
downpour outside. There wasn't much
to say and he said it.
Mr.. Kelly said he had asked Major
S. Wood McClane to speak on Roose-
welt, but he had been unable to come.
He then asked the gathering to stand
a moment in honor of the dead ex-
President, which was done.
On motion of Mr.. Purdon, reso-
luton was passed requesting the Bor-
ough Council to inaugurate zone
building code system, and then the
people went home.
Eric Lehston, of Brentwood spoke
at length on what the Citizens Club
was trying to accomplish in Cliffside
Borough in getting coming system
bill passed by the legislature to fit

WHY LIFE is WORTH LIVING.

The old Arab who refused to have
an operation to restore his eyesight,
on the ground that he had seen so
much of the world he was tired of it,
ought to have lived in this day and
age, says the Columbus Dispatch. For,
verify. there is something new to be
seen. Who among us does not want
to live a few years longer, just to
see what comes out of the tangled
conditions that exist today?
Pick UP any copy of any newspaper,
and glance at the headlines. A dozen
wars going on, thousand compiled
tons in the affairs of men and ma
tions, a million strange situations in
to which the race has fallen. So
den to carry 1t around, it seems; a
market basket full of money for a
market basket full of vegetables
that is the current price of foodstuffs
with everybody complaining. And
yet the ships bringing in millions of
dollars worth of diamonds, the shops
filled to the ceiling with luxuries, the
streets and roads damned with pleas
ure cars-and folks refusing to work
for less than dollar an hour. Ve1i-
Iy it is strange condition and it is
going to be worth all the suffering it
costs to live on. just to see the finish.
We used to imagine that if we were
old and disabled and had never pen
ny in the world, and suffered from all

Though it may not always be safe
to rely on these distances, because of
the differences in drivers and in
makes of cars, still the figures prove
the danger of racing and high speeds.

CHARITY BRINGS
ITS own REWARD
Kind Deeds Often Accomplish
More Than the Giving
of Money

To be charitable toward your neigh
bors brings its own reward. 1t no:
only helps others, but gives a happy
satisfaction to ourselves. Charity does
does not mean the giving Of money
alone, but means to lend helping
hand to anybody who may be in trou-
BILE.
If you have been a great sufferer
with stomach, kidney and liver Ills
and have been relieved by Pepgen,
would you not consider it charitable
act to recommend 1t? II by your rec
ommendation hundred people should
regain health or even one, would you
not be well satisfied?
1t is the great humanitarian spirit
that induces people to tell their exper-
fences with Pepgen. They have been
restored to health and they want to
spread the good news. They like to
tell how they were helped so that
others may employ the same means.
Pepgen has won Endorsements from
neople wherever 1t has been intro
duced. 1t promotes sound, healthy,
refreshing sleep and brings good colof
to pale cheeks.
When the blood is thin and watery,.
Pepgen, through its influence on d.
gestion, makes rich, red blood which
nourishes every organ in the body.
Men and women who have poor d.
gestion would do we'll to make thor
ough study of Pepgen.-Adv.

THOUSANDS Get
GREAT REWARDS
FOR CONFIDENCE
Implicit Faith of Many Has Been
Brought About BY Cir
cumStances

Sound statements are based on ex-
act knowledge and such knowledge
can only be gained by experience. The
great faith that thousands of people
have in Pepgen, the new stomach, kid
ney and liver compound, has been
brought about by circumstances.
Most people judge Pepgen as a man
judges an old friend, not by quick
impression, but by what they have
actually seen it do. Beyond the evil
dence in any one locality stands peo-
pie in all parts of the country who
are ready to vouch for Pepgen. These
are the people who are grateful for
the relief that Pepgen has given them.
Pepgen's healing and strength Civ
ing properties are derived from herbs
treated by the special Pepgen Process
which contains neither sugar nor al
cohol.
Many say they have not known
what it was to eat with comfort for
years before they took Pepgen. Others
say 1t has restored their nerves and
brought them peaceful, restful, health
full sleep. Still others extol it's merits
as a blood purifier, a good medicine
for catarrh and ills which arise from
catarrhal conditions.
Pepgen may be obtained at Thistle

stores everywhere.-Adv.
