How little trouble there would be.
We pass each other on the street.
But just come out and le. US meet.
At church next Sunday.
Each one intends 20 do what's fair.
And treat his neighbor on the square.
But he may not quite understand
Why don't you take him by the hand
At church next Sunday.
This world is sure a busy place.
And we must hustle in the race.
For social hours some are not free
The six week days, but all should be
At church next Sunday.
We have an interest in our town.
The dear old place must not go down;
We want to push good things along.
And We can help some IL we're strong
At church next Sunday.
Don't knock, kick and slam and slap
At everybody on the map.
But push. pull, boost and boom
And use up all the standing room
At church next Sunday.

100000 FIRE DESTROYS
GARAGE IN ATLANTIC CITY
Magistrate Aids In Saving Four
Horses In Adjacent Stable

Spccidl Dispatch 10 EUerinO Public LedOer
Atlantic City, Nov. 10.-Fire attrib-
uted to spontaneous CONFUSION in the
third floor of the three story brick and
steel storage and garage of Reuben Fox,
Arkansas avenue between Arctic and
Baltic avenues, for more than two hours
late last night gave the crack fire de-
pnrtmcnt of the city one of the most
stubborn battles of several years.
The flames were confined to one
structure, but the loss will be from
5000 900 to $3.50. 900. according to the
estimates this morning. The two up
per floors of the building were jammed
with furniture. while the ground floor
was filed with automobiles. These all
were destroyed. nothing but the walls
remaining standing.
The proprietor, Fred Fox, was seated
in his Office when a paSserby rushed In
and informed him that flames were
squirting from the third floor. Fire ap-
paratus was quickly on the scene under
command of Chief Barnett. who
promptly turned in n general alarm
when he realized the proportions of the
cOntlagration.
Safety Director Cuthbert arrived with
all available policemen and detectives.
They aided in calming terror stricken
Negro dwCllcrs of the nCighborhOOd who
rushed to the streets. carrying their
household goods. Detectives Mcdowell
and Farley, together with Magistrate
McNnlly, rescued four horses from an
adjacent stable by throwing blankets
over their heads and leading them out.
