REV. BROWN PLEASED
WITH P%LEASANTVILLE
In Letter to Editor the Evangelist
Expressed His Appreciation of the
Treatment Accorded Him Here.
OUR CITY PLEASED WITH HIM.

After conducting a campaign lasting
five weeks at Wesley NJ. E. Church,
Rev. John E. Brown, evangelist and
ex-policeman of New York City, said
farewell Monday morning and left for
his home. The following letter from
Rev. Brown speaks for itself as to
vile:
Editor Pleasantville Press,
Dear Sir: l wish first to express to
you my appreciation of the liberal pub
licity you gave my work through the
columns of your paper while in your
city. Then l want to say that my
gratitude to the people of Pleasantyille
is beyond expression-they surely
treated me royalty and it was with
genuine regret that l said goodbye,
after miIsling with them for five
weeks. l left many loyal friends
whose prayers and good wishes l will
always cherish. | had numerous
pressing invitations TO return to Pleas
antville, and should Gods providence
again direct my footsteps to your city,
l feel that it will be like going back
among old friends. God wonderfully
blessed me while with you and I be-
lieve His blessings were not withheld
from any who desired them.
Sincerely yours in His work,
JOHN E. BROWN.
To say that Mr.. Browns work here
was a great success would be express
ing it mildly. Over a score of persons
made public confession to the saving
power of Jesus Christ, and the good
that was spread broadcast throughout
the community can neve be estimat-
ed. Mr.. Brown is a big man with a
big message, and his forceful manner
of presenting that message could not
fail to strike conviction to the heart
of the sinner. His most convincing
argument for the saving power of God
was his own life, a portion of which
he related at each service, how he was
~re-created from a man of vilest sin
to a new man after becoming a fol
lower of Christ. He lives the life he
breaches and is wonderfully blessed.
His Sunday afternoon meetings for
men proved a great success, and
brought together men from all walks
of life. The attendance averaged
over a hundred at each of the five
meetings. Some of the week-night
meetings were handicapped by ex-
tremely unfayorable weather, but the
Word of God, as expounded by Rev.
Brown continued to work like leaven
even when the sound of his voice was
not heard and each Sunday night per
sons went forward to receive a bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit.
Last Sunday night, which marked
the close of the meetings, proved that
the best of the feast had been reserv-
ed for the last. Penitents arose from
all parts of the packed auditorium and
made their way to the altar, while a
great shout of song and praise went
up to Zion from the redeemed for the
wanderers who returned to the Faith
er's house. Although the congrega-
ton was dismissed shortly after ten
O'Clock, the meeting did not really
close until near midnight.
Rev. Brown was asked during his
stay here by several business men if
he would come here in the summer
and conduct a tent meeting, and he
replied that he would consider it.

PLEASANTVILLE REGULARS
WIN CLOSE GAME, 24-22.

A strong finish marked with a little
team work managed to add another
victory for the P~leasantville team on
Tuesday evening. According to the
schedule the Pleasantville team was
to meet the West Side team of the
Atlantic City League but owing to the
fact that all league teams were SEIZED
uled to play on Tuesday evening it
was necessary to secure a team COM
posed of several Atlantic City players.
. The home team showed very poor
form the first half, and also expert
enced much hard luck. 1t seemed as
though the ball was a little too big to
go thru the basket and the first half
ended with the score 1923 in favor of
the Atlantic City team. The second
half caused considerable excitement
for the crowd when two of the players
deemed it necessary to exchange sem
timents which were far from sweet.
For a short time it looked as though
the home team were defeated but af-
ter a little cheering and encourage
ment from Darby's and Willis defend
ers a sudden change resulted, and in
a short time the regulars were on top.
The following is a score of the game:

he could claim the estate

One month later he receives a letter
asking him 10 call at Enrlght's Office.
What happened there is probably
this: Young Cavendish was Informed
of the existence Of the will. and it was
offered to him at a price which he
couldn't refuse to pay-just then.
perhaps he was frightened into
signing a promise to pay as soon as
he came into the estate-tricked by
Enright. John Cavendish may be In
nOcent, or he may be guilty, but one
thing is certain-he's being badgered
to death by two people, from what
little we know. One of them is the
La Rue woman; the other is Enright.'
Farriss sat rejecting deeply, chew
