Lucy ID, Osborn

Mrs. Lucy d. Osborn, widow of the
late Rev. William B. Osborn, of the
New Jersey M. E. Conference, died
in Ocean Grove, N. j., on February
18th, 1922, aged II years. She was
born in Stoughton, Mass, 1874.
A profoundly religious experience
in early life gave her exceptional
power as an evangelist. She was the
means of leading many to Christian
lives and to the missionary fields, in
all parts of the world. She was a
missionary in India where she married
Rev. William B. Osborn, in 1879. They
returned to America soon afterwards.
Rev. Osborn was a large auburn
haired man with a striking personal
ity and a powerful pulpit orator at
Camp Meetings. He was one of the
originators of the Ocean Grove Camp
Meeting Association over so years
ago. Old folks in this region
will remember his preaching in the
Camp Meetings which were held in
Divers woods, near Penns Grove, in
1877-82.

FARMERS WENT TO SCHOOL

The meeting last Friday evening,
in the school house at Pedricktown,
was well attended by farmers in Old
mans Township, to discuss farm
crops and labor topics.
Assemblyman William S. Stiles,
presided. Addresses were made by
j. c. Crissey, Farm Agent for Salem
County, and L. A. Cody, Farm Doctor
for Gloucester County.
Mr.. Cooley spoke on sweet potato
diseases and told of the experimental
work that has been conducted in his
county. The speaker answered many
questions and gaveI some excellent adj
wise as to how to prevent the spread of
diseases among potatoes. This was
very valuable to the Oldmans Town
ship farmers for many acres of sweet
potatoes are raised there annually.
County Agent Crissey used slides to
illustrate some demonstration work in
Salem County and also gave some
data regarding the Farm Bureau
Federation and of the benefits a mem
bership in the organization brings to
the farmer.
There was also a general discussion
of wages of farm labor. 1t was de-
cided that no interference would be
made with the rate that is to be paid
monthly farm hands, but that the
price of piece work would be the same
as that adopted in Gloucester County.
By the latter it is believed that the
truckers and farmers will not be
"held up by the laborers who come
from the larger cities into the country
TO work.

Both Methodist Episcopal Churches
in Penns Grove are expecting new
pastors to be appointed.
The Methodist Church has its
bishops, who are superintendent.
Their ancient preTogatiye of auto
cratic power has been largely restrict
ed, so that they consult the laymen
who have had for some years a vote
as to whom shall be bishops, superin-
tendents. All laymen in the Methodist
Church have a vote as to whom will
be treasurer and have an accounting
of money.
Some years ago, Thomas B. Neeley,
in Philadelphia, was elected to bishop.
He assumed the ancient prerogative of
absolute power without consulting
laymen as to appointments of min
listers. At the next General Confer
ence, which meets every four years,
to elect bishops, decide on the number
and their pay, Bishop Nealey was re-
tired from power on half pay.

Charles Mecum
Becomes Judge
Gov. Edwards Flopped Appoint
ment of d. V. Summerill, Jr.

The appointment of Daniel v. Sum.
merrill, Jr., by Gov. Edwards to be
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
for Salem County last week was a
most agreeable surprise to the people
of this region and it was expected by
Republicans as well as Democrats
that the appointment would be APP
proved by Senator Allen and con-
frmed by the Senate, because of his
ability and high moral standard shown
during his five years as Prosecutor.
The Salem Standard and South Jer-
seyman says:
"sThe Senate adjourned before any
action was taken as to the confirma-
ton. During the week, it is asserted,
a large delegation of Salem County
Democrats visited the Governor and
protested against the appointment of
Mr.. Summerill. As a result of this,
on Monday night of this week before
the Senate could take further action,
Governor Edwards recalled the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Summerill and sent in
the name of Charles Mecum, of Sa-
lem"
1t is also understood that the dele
cation of Democrats from Salem IN
Guided some Influential @wet' Republic
cans, both of which are opposed to
having a Judge to preside over Salem
County Courts who would respect the
United States Constitution and live
the law.
The Standard and Jerseyman says:
"All the Philadelphia papers re-
eeived from their Trenton correspon-
dents the news that the action of the
Governor was caused by the refusal
of Senator Allen to agree to the con-
frmation of Mr.. Summerill. There
was absolutely no truth in this state
ment, the Governor withdrawing the
name. it is understood, solely because
of the objection filed against Mr..
Summerill by the Salem County
Democrats.
"The first intimation that Mr.. Me-
cum had of the selection of himself
for the position was in a telephone
call which came from Trenton at 8
o'clock Monday night, after the Gov
ernor had sent his nomination to the
Senate. Mi. Mecum at frstsdeclined
to accept and was prevailed upon to
reconsider the matter and notify the
Governor on Tuesday. He went to
Trenton and after an interview with
the Governor he reluctantly agreed to
take the Judgeship. The Senate i'm
mediately confirmed the Judgeship.
and Governor Edwards forthwith is
sued the commission"
Gov. Edwards's ~fip-fopping has dis
gusted different factions of Democrats
and Mr.. Mecum's appointment is con-
sidered by Democrats no better than
if he had appointed a Republican.
AS Gov. Edwards declared he would
appoint only those to office who had
no sympathy with the 18th Amend
ment to the United States Constitu-
ton, all citizens may judge what took
place in that interview between Gov.
Edwards and Judge Mecum.
Judge Mecum is a graduate of the
University Law School and was adj
mitted to the New Jersey bar in 1881.
He has practiced law in New Jersey
e since, principally as a business
counsellor.
He presided over the Court at Sa-
lem on Thursday for the first time.

HARLIN-sCHLAFER

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Schlafer, at
1882 Avenue l, Carneys Point, attend
ed the wedding of their daughter,
Mary, to Leroy Harlin, of 1443 South
58th Street, Philadelphia, on Satur-
day, February 25, 1922, at 8 o'clock.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
H. L. Miller, pastor of the Lutheran
Church. After the ceremony they
left for New York City to spend their
honeymoon. On their return they
went to their newly furnished home
on Spring Garden Street, West Phila-
delphia.
Before her marriage Miss Mary was
connected with a leading department
store.

The Modern Sunday School

The high productive value of the
modern Sunday School can be proved
by facts brought from every walk in
life and from every land where it is
in operation. Judges of long expert
ence -pn the bench give us startling
statistics, telling how few are the
criminals who have ever attended
Sunday School regularly. Prisons and
reformatories continue this testimony
that the inmates are rarely if ever
old Sunday School Scholars" Indeed,
one frequently reads that probation
requirements include Sunday School
attendance, for boys and girls; and
ever %grown-ups sometimes have their
sentences suspended upon promise to
attend Sunday School for a definite
time. No other agency for the pre-
vention of crime approaches the Sun
day School in good results for the
State.
Gloucester County has the largest
percentage of its population of any
county in New Jersey in its Sunday
Schools, 5000 more than the average
South Jersey counties. 1t is also the
most efficient county in Sunday School
work. This has come about because
of the Gloucester County Sunday
School Association, which has helped
the schools to put on a program that
wins and holds the boys and girls and
men and woason . a greater degree
thar elsewhere. Our county is one Of
5 who employs a secretary to pro
mote the work. 1t has a program, il
produces results, it is worthy of the
financial support of all interested
p~eople.-Woodbury Times.

Boy Scouts Parents Night

The Emmanuel Troop, No. 2, B. S.
A., John c.. Black, Seoutmaster, en-
ter aimed their parents and friends on
Friday night last, at Scout head
quarters. About fifty Scouts and fifty
parents and friends were present. A
fine program was carried out by the
troop, after which refreshments of
ice cream and cake were served. The
program consisted of r%ecitations, flag
drill and orchestral music by mem
bers of Troop 2.
After the entertainment, the boys
and officers of the troop were called
upon to tell of some of their camp
experience which proved to be inter
esting. The occasion proved to be
such a success. 1t vas announced
other such evenings would be planned
for the future.
