Bishop ". A. Oldham, who has been
superintendent of Methodist missions

past four years, is preaching a series
of sermons at Pitman Grove Camp
Meeting this week. Next Sunday is
expected to be the biggest day in the
50th year of this Camp Meeting. The
Bishop will preach both morning and
evening.
On the 22nd the 50th anniversary
of the first Camp Meeting was com
nemorated. A tablet on the pulpit in
honor of the late Rev. Aaron p. Bal
lard, DID,, was unveiled. DR.. Ballard
died last November in his 99th year.
He had helped to found the camp
meetings at Pitman Grove and at
Ocean Grove, and had served as presi-
dent of the camp meeting there for
all but four out of the SO years OF its
existence. The ceremony added a SOL
emn note to the opening of the golden
Jubilee program of the camp meeting.

Corner
Stone Laying
Large Church Officiary Assist
Impressive Ceremony at
New Church and
School

The corner stone of the new ST.
James Roman Catholic Church and
Parochial on Beach Avenue was laid
by Right Reverend Thomas J. Walsh,
Bishop of the Catholic diocese, of
Trenton, last Sunday, 25th, at 3 o'clock
P. M. He was assisted in the latin
reading ceremony by twelve priests,
Rev. Joseph F. Parker and Rev. H. l..
Massey, of st. James; Revs. Scully,
Bowman, John Burke, Swedesboro;
DIETRICH, Atlantic City; Travis, Woods
town; McCloskey, Camden, and several
others from Philadelphia and Trenton.
The stone is a plain marble on
which is a cross and "June-1920."
After the stone was laid the Bishop
in regal regalia and his assistants
marched around the building and
sprinkled it with holy water. The
"water of conservation" or "Gregor-
ian water" so called because it was
ordered by Pope Gregory TX. In its
blessing it has wine, ashes and salt
mingled with it.
Rev. Massey complimented the Bish-
ops coming and the people for giving
so generously for this building. The
second story is to be used for school
purposes. He introduced Rev. w. F.
Dietrich, of Atlantic City, who
spoke of the needs of a parochial
school to teach righteousness and mo-
rality, owing to lack of moral teach
ing. Religion is not taught in the
public school and too little in the
homes. A million and a half children
do not attend any Sunday School nor
Church. We are willing to bear the
public tax and the extra expense OF a
Church school.
Some think the Roman Catholics are
intruders. He would remind all that
Columbus and his c~arayels who discov-
cred America, Henry Cabot, Balboa,
Peter Marquette and Ponce deLeon
were Catholics. Lord Baltimore made
a Catholic settlement in Maryland n
Charles Carroll vas a member OF the
Continental Congress and signed the
Declaration of independence. Inc
Catholics had answered the call OF the
Nation is wars. Pointing to the
American flag e the building en-
trance and the Papal flag of yellow
and white over the corner stone ne
said eve render unto Caesar tclvll
rulers) the things that are Caesars
and unto God (the Pope) the things
that are Gods" -.
"The better the Catholic, the better
che citizen"
There were about 500 citizens of all
creeds to witness the ceremony,
At a meeting in the Broad theatre
Sunday night the subscription went
over the top by $4,000.

Many Tomatoes
Not Saleable
Farmers Heavy Losers on Their
Expensive Crops, FormerlE
Very Profitable

Thousands of baskets of early to-
matoes are rotting in the fields within
a radius of fifteen miles from Swedes-
boro, while thousands of persons
within a hundred miles eat few or no
tomatoes when they have money to
buy them. The tomato crop was
never finer nor more prolific for the
acreage planted, but the means of
distribution was never so poor.
In former years hundreds of car
loads were shipped in n night to
Jersey City, Newark, New York and
other cities. In two days they went
to Buffalo, Boston, Pittsburg and other
places as far as Montreal, Canada,
but the Inefficient labor lay down on
the railroads and other transportation
is causing the farmers to lose thous-
ands of dollars and thousands to go
without this relishable vegetable.
Never did the farmers have higher
priced manure, fertilizer and labor and
considering they are getting only 20
to 80 cents a basket for those sold
many are down hearted and some will
go bankrupt.
Tomatoes shipped to Boston two
weeks ago did not arrive for four days
and sold for S1.25 a crate while $3.50
We're paid for them at Swedesboro.
Dealers could not afford to lose more
than one shipment and the prices went
as low as so cents a crate.
1t costs 7 cents to pick them, 10 to
Is cents carriage, crate 1920 cents,
commission 10 per cent for selling. A
tenant farmer gets half and the land
lord who pays for the n and fer
tilizer the other half.
In former years when the city mar
kets became glutted there were boats
to take them to Baltimore but can
ners are not anxious because of short
age of cans and labor conditions.
Boatmen want 10 cents a basket
where they formerly got 5 cents.
On Tuesday H. S. Justice & Co., be-
gan buying tomatoes at 25 cents a
basket and have shipped a boat load
daily to Baltimore. On Wednesday
and Thursday they paid % cents.
E. E. Somers loaded a boat for Bal
timore on Thursday at 20 cents.
Capt. VIM. P. Wright will begin
loading on Saturday.
The farmers will have to quit grow
ing early perishable produce and
where possible grow more grass and
grow dairy products, which are cheap
est food to buy. The prospect is that
the price of milk will be raised to 10
and Is cents a quart August 1st.

Ancient Pagan Customs Retained

Rev. John F. Sullivan in "The Elk
ternals of the Catholic Church on Holy
Water" says: at is interesting to
note how often our Church has avail
ed herself of the practices which were
in common use among pagans and
which owe their origin to their ap-
propriateness for expressing SOME
thing spiritual by material means;
The Church and her Clergy are all
things to all men, that they may gam
all for Christ. Thus it is true, IN a
certain sense, that some Catholic rites
and ceremonies are a reproduction OF
those of pagan creeds."

Ancient Corner Stone Laying

The custom of laying the corner
stone of a public building with cere-
monies was practiced by the a%ncients'
At the laying of the corner stone when
the capitol of Rome was rebuilt a pro-
cession of vested virgins, robed IN
white, surrounded the stone and con-
secrated it with libations Of living
water. A prayer to the gods followed
and then the magistrates, priests, m
ators and knights laid hold OF the
ropes and moved the mighty stone 70
it's proper position. In a hollow cut
in the stone were placed lngots OF
gold, silver and other metals which had
not been melted in any furnace.
With the Jews the corner stone vas
considered an emblem of power, ana
thev also performed ceremonies at its
LAYING. In medieval times the rite
was taken up by the order OF Free.
masons and has by them been brougnt
down to modern days. The Masonic
ceremony of laying a corner stone De-
ing symbolical.
