in New Era Movement
By Special Correspondent.

JAMESBURG, sMarch 1S:-The
Rev. w. J. b. Edgar opened the cam
paign hat will be started within the
present week in what is known as the
New Era Movement of the Presby-
terrain church by preaching on the
duties of processing Christians and
those who receive the benefits of the
presence of the church in a commu
nifty.
Particular stress was laid on the
importance of giving toward the sup
port of the church; the lack of civic
pride that protesting Christians take
in the architecture of the church and
their private homes hat should vie
with the other in the matter of up
keep.
do you know" declared the
speaker. that the carpenters of Mid
dlesex county are within the past
few days receiving seventy-fve cents
per hour and that is more than the
ministers are receiving at this time
and how do you expect men who are
to be leaders in their individual COM
munities to live other than like beg
CARS on the small salaries they re-
ceive. If they do not beggar them
selves they will surely tarve to death.
Is that the kind OF a man you church
people want to be stuck up in a pulpit
and be the leader who receives less
than even the street car CONDUCTOR? %
He invited all the members of the
congregation to the meeting to be
held in the chapel of the church Fri
day night of his week when a Miss
Moore, representing the New Era
Movement, will be- present to explain
the call hat was sent out from the
recent session held at Atlantic City.
The church people will be aroused to
a conception of the importance of a
religious revival that will compete
with the movies and other form of
amusement that seem to have the
crowd with them.

SERVICE FLAGS
War Camp Community Ser
vice Urges Tha Flags be
Protected

Do not remove your service flags
and do not keep them up until they
gradually disappear, weather beaten,
tattered and unnoticed. This is tie
urgent plea Of the War Camp Com
munity Service, which does pot he
lieve that these emblems of all the
fond hopes of the Americans during
the nineteen trying months of war,
should be laid aside without some fit
ting ceremonies to celebrate such an
event.
Instead Of taking down the flags,
one by one, as the boys are mustered
out of service, the War Camp Com
munity Service desires that the possess
sors of such flags should exhibit them
until an appointed date when they all
are "demobilized" at some suitable
public affair. The service flag has
been the one thing that has represent
ed the sons, brothers, fathers and the
sweethearts OF those who have re-
manned behind and it has appeared In
every town, city and hamlet from
coast to coast in this great country,
as a sign OF reverence Indicating that
the number of stars on the flag denote
those who have gone out from the
home and from the country for the
sake of justice and humanity.
The War Camp Community Service
suggests Sunday, April 8, the second
anniversary Of our entrance in Il
world turmoil, as a fitting date for the
rehabilitation" OF the service flags.
The service has formulated a well de-
fined program for this event II the
same thing will be observed In every
place, no matter what size, all over
the country. 1t is planned to have
service bars pinned across the stars
which represent those who have como
home after seeing active service. For
those flags whose stars have been
changed to gold, a specially designed
service flag, known as Gold Glory"
will be substituted and should be
placed in n prominent public place
permanently.
