ADVICE FOR

There is valuable Information and guidance for other
speakers than those on the pulpit in this. Of course. a
little sleep in the right place is not bad either:
Believe me- said a noted preacher to his bishop.
on the subject of preaching, Il speak from long experience
the more you say, the less people will remember; and the
less you say the more they will profit. Those who load
their hearers memory destroy it, just as you put out a
lamp by filling it too full, or kill plants by unmeasured
watering. When n discourse is too long, the end makes
one forget the middle and the middle puts out the begin
ming. Indifferent preachers are bearable if they are brief
but even good preachers become intolerable when they
are lengthy"

Soldiers Memorial
Will Be Discussed
City Council Committee To Meet
Representatives of Various
Civic Organizations.

At a meeting to be held this Friday
evening at the City Hall, the Soldiers
Memorial Committee of City Council
will meet representatives from several
fraternal and civic organizations to
fully discuss the proposed memorial
from every angle. The matter of cost
will be taken up and also the manner
in which money can be provided to
furnish a suitable memorial to the
veterans of the World War.
Councils committee includes Ed
ward 7. Stephenson, Albert e. James
and Charles M. Peck. Among the or
CARNATIONS which have sent petitions
to City Council asking for action on
the memorial question, and which
will be represented at the meeting by
the committees are the Chamber of
Commerce, Kiwanis Club, Allequippa
Council Degree of Pocahontas, Carpen-
ters' Union, Junior Order American
Mechanics, knights of Pythias, High
School Athletic Association, Pleasant
vile Baseball Club and Mainland Post
American Legion.
Each one of these organizations has
expressed itself in favor of a commun-
ity athletic field as a suitable memoir
ial for the war veterans. The one
problem confronting Council has been
as to how the money should be raised
and the representatives of the various
organizations will urge an %appropria-
ton of sufficient amount to provide
the field, to be carried as a bond issue
over a number of years.

Deep Absecon Inlet
Promised Next Year
Dredging Will Supplant Jetties
For Making HarbOr.-MOre
Costly But Less Dangerous

Instead of building a system of jet
ties for the purpose of deepening Alb
secon Inlet it has been decided to dc
the deepening necessary to retain a
twenty-foot channel by dredging. This
is a much more costly operation, but
safer, as it will not injure any abut.
ting property by washing away as
might be the case if jetties were erect
ed. This information was given out
a few days ago by Col. Earl |. Brown,
of the U. S. Engineers, who is in
charge of all government work in this
district.
Col. Brown said that freight and
passenger steamers would be able to
use Absecon melt harbor by the end
of next Summer at least.
This will be made possible, he said
by starting the dredge Absecon al
work on clearing the channel to a IL
foot depth early in December. The
money for this work is now available,
AS soon as the $4,000 recently APP
p%ropriated by Congress becomes avail
able, which will be early in the Spring
four or five big dredges will be put to
work and kept going night and day
until the 20-foot depth has been
reached. When that has been accom-
plished dredges will be on hand to
keep the currents from filling up the
channel. This, Colonel Brown said
will keep them working here for about
six months of the year.
A thorough study of the beach and
currents was made, and while ordinar
lily the channel would have been OBJ
tanned through the building of %jetties
the engineer declared, it was consid
cred inadvisable here because of the
damage it would do to the beach.

by all. Mr.. Hamilton congratulated
the choir on their singing, and also
spoke highly of the work of Virgil G..
Toms at the organ, who Is a son of
the pastor of the church, and is a pupil
of Miss Evelyn Quick Tyson, of Allan
tic City. Rev. George w. Toms, Jr.,
pastor of the church, was called upon
for a few remarks.
The address of the evening was by
National Field Worker Clarence c..
Hamilton, and was a stirring address
and a strong appeal for Christian En-
deavor. He stated that Christian En-
deavor is still growing, and that in the
United States alone, during the past
year, 1923 new societies had been or
ganized, and that the outlook for the
growth of the work was very encour-
aging. He also gave some OF his ex-
periences while in France during the
war. 1t was a splendid address and
much enjoyed by all.
On the contest for the flag, st.
Johns Methodist Protestant Society
had the largest number present, but,
owing to a rule of the County Union,
eliminating the entertaining Society,
that did not count. st. Johns Reform
ed Church of Egg Harbor City was
mex in line, and they received the
flag. This makes two consecutive
times that this Society has won the
flag, and if they are successful at the
next rally, the flag will belong to them.
The next rally will probably be in At
lantic City during the week of Oct. 8.
The decorations of the church,
which were in charge of Mrs. Howell,
Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Caddick, were
beautiful, and called forth many ex-
nressionS of ~appreciation.
