with the coming of spring, ma
ture has come forth from her winter
drabness and adorned herself in a
cloak of beauty. Everywhere trees
are in blossom, lawns are verdant
and gardens abloom with early now

Perth Amboy, too, should put on
a new spring garment and proceed
to clean up her paper strewn streets.

RECTOR!S
MADE DELEGATE
The Rev. w. Northey Jones
viii Represent New Jersey
Diocese at Portland, Ore.

St. Peters Episcopal church. of
this city. was signally honored at the
annual convention of diocese of New
Jersey. which concluded its work at
Camden yesterday. when its rector.
the Rev. w. Northey Jones. was
chosen one of the four clerical dele
gates to represent this diocese at the
genera convention of the church 10
be held in Portland. Oregon, in Sep
TENDER. The other delegates chosen
were Arch-deacon j. Borden Shop
psrd. of Trenton. the Rev. II. f..
Rustell. of Camden. and the Rev.
Harold G. Morse, of Merchantviile.
Mr.. Jones is the only representative
fl om the upper part of the diocese.
Bishop Matthews. who presided at
the convention, in his address to the
delegates on Tuesday, declared in
favor of the strict enforcement of
the volstead law. He said that the
strict enforcement did not necessar-
lily mean approval of all that the law
stood for, but the fact that it was
the law made it obligatory upon
every Christian man to Obey Il. He
declared that the man who bought
LIQUOR was just as much a bootleg
ger as the man who sold liquor. A
man cannot violate the Volstead law
and be q good churchman, the bishop
said, and such deliberate violation
was. in his opinion, good ground for
accommodation.
Yesterday the committee named
to consider the bishops address
brought in a resolution to the effect
that the convention go on record as
favoring the enforcement of, law
and order. The resolution was ridi-
culed by some of the clergymen
present. They felt that it would be
ridiculous for a body of churchmen
to 70 on record merely as favoring
law and order. What else. 1t was
asked. would c~hurchmen stand for?
One clergyman said there would be
Just as much sense for the conven-
ton to go on record as endorsing
the Ten Commandments. The reso-
luton was finally voted down.
Opposition to proposed changes in
the Book of Common Prayer was
voiced by the bishop and the con-
vention took such a stand.
Besides the rector. the Rev. w.
Ncrthey Jones. st. Peters church
was represented at the convention
by John Hanson, Sr.. and J. Logan
Clevenger. Holy Cross Episcopal
church was represented by Louis
DUB. Watson.
