NEW ERA DRIVE
| At JAMESBURG
Rev. Mr.. Edgar Gives Some In
tereSting Facts in Stirring
Sermon
BIZ Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG, March 25-The
New Era movement of the Presbyte-
rian church again furnished plenty of
material for a discourse by the Rev.
w. J. d. Edgar, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, at the Sunday morn
ing service. The needs OF the entire
cooperation of the congregation n
the friends of the church were given
the greater portion of the address.
OF every thousand dollars given by
h Christians in the United States,
Rev. Mr.. Edgar said s215 went for
food, S21S for clothing, $500 for
whiskey and tobacco, $40 for educa-
ton and but So for the missionary
cause. The present drive for funds by
the Christian people of the United
States was put before the people in a
manner that brought home the need
' of the hearty support in both a spir-
itual and material manner.
The misery amount given TO the
missionary cause brought forth quite
a scathing eulogy Of the American
Brewery Association for the intention
of that body to transfer their interests
to heather Japan and China unless
those countries have sense enough TO
kick them out. Il haven't ever been
in favor of unrestricted submarine
warfare" said Rev. Mr.. Edgar, but
instead of sinking the captured sub
marines, the allies should await the
ships hat were transporting the liq-
uors TO those countries and sink them
without mercy. That would be in the
cause Of humanity.
The lack OF support given the Pres.
byterian cause was brought right back
to Jamesburg. The average contribu-
ton of every Presbyterian was sci
at $40 per year IF Jamesburg will
show a third of that amount" said thu
speaker, "she will be doing a wonder.
