BOOST FOR SOUTH AMBoY.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
The era of great things for South
Amboy is Just dawning. During the
var we enjoyed unanticipated pros
perity and South Amboy vas me OF
the 1ivliest towns in this section. With
the war at an end and the suspend
ing of the munition industries things
again looked pretty gloomy" for this
city. With the majority of the men
out of work and no signs things get
ting better a number had a rather du-
bious outlook, but today we are as
busy and as prosperous as ever before.
No town in New Jersey can look
forward to a greater future than
South Amboy, at the present time, If
we are ready to grasp the great OPP
portunities as they come. The Ship
Canal is bound to come! With it will
come industries to locate along Its
route. These great industrial leaders
will select sites nearest the towns and
cities with the greatest advantages
and ogering the most of their employ
es. 1t is up to South Amboy to get
these advantages. We already have
many excellent advantages such as
our fine churhces, beautiful and eff
1cient schools, and good street light
ing, sewer, and water systems, etc.
One of the most essential things in
every community that hopes to be
an industrial center is an up to date
hospital. This is one thing that South
Amboy lacks. Nov let's get it." The
site has bee already purchased and
is the finest in this section for the
purpose in view. The building itself
is to be erected at once and the people
of the city are to be asked to sub
scribe sufficient funds for this work.
If you are interested in the future of
South Amboy get behind this move
ment.

Daily Sermonette

And l saw a e heaven and a new
earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and
there was no more sea-. And /, John,
saw the holy city, new Jerusalem COM
ing down from God"
Heaven is a city. It's builder and
maker Is God. The citizens in that
city serve. That's one reason why 1t
is heaven"
The city isn't a ''curse"-not even
on earth. 1t may be made a most
beautiful place-if it's citizens are will
ing to make 1t so-through service
No place-not even a home no
matter where it may be-can be made
beautiful unless service is the key
/ note.
Heaven will be a good place in
which to live because its citizens are
| going to do team work. To every citi-
zen in that celestial city will be CIV
en- a specific task which will fit into
the general scheme of things.
There will be no anarchists" in
heavens first law.
Cities are built on characteristic
like individuals. For cities are made
up of individuals.
The heavenly city will be made UP
of citizens who have been tested and
tried-not by the standards of men,
which sometimes do injustice to su-
perior persons who have suffered
from earth's handicaps, but who
nevertheless have built up strong
characters-they will be tested by
Gods standards, which are always
fair.
Character, then, and not reputation
will be the test, what a revelation
there will be regarding the standing
In the sight of God-of some of
earth's great ones
Service, team work, character, these
three will make heaven.
There are other things such as rest,
and comfort, and freedom from the
curse of sin-but we're thinking now
of what we ourselves are to be and
to do in heaven.
But those will serve best and do the
finest team work-and this means
those who will build the strongest
characters, are those who begin them
here on earth.
The transformation which will take
place when we are translated from
cities of earth to the glorious city of
which John wrote will unQueStionably
be largely determined by WHAT we
have been doing here-and HOW we
have been doing 1t.
1t will be a great thing to get into
heaven as a citizen, but 1t will be
greater to nave a large place in the
direction of the heavenly city-for
there will be those who shall rule with
God and carry out special commits
sions for Him.
And those who will occupy these
positions Of honor are those who have
prepared themselves for them as true
citizens in this world.
