EXCELLENT SERMONS

Some of Mr.. Sundays best sermons
are to be delivered during the after
noon,' Mr.. Rodeheaver announced
Wednesday night. They are written
for just the people that want to come
in the afternoon" he said.
Mr.. Sundays preaching in the after
noon is much more like the sermons
that he would preach if he were to
hold a pastorate in any place for some
time, some of the regular devotees of
the afternoon sermons say.

Rev. Sunday has never officiated at
but one wedding, and hopes that God
will forgive him if he ever does It
again. When his audience Wednesday
night semed unawares how to take it,
Sunday explained. Out in Iowa once
he had married man and woman on
their request, but only after getting
the consent Of the man who would
have married them, had he not been
there. The fee for doing the marrying
was then turned over to this same
minister.

declared, but that same man began
to whine about the outside ministers
that came in and got their fees. l don't

HEAD OF STATE BOXING
COMMISSION TO RESIGN

TRENTON. Feb. 1.-The an
nouncement that Chairman Robert
IL. Doherty, of the State Boxing
| Commission, is soon to resign has
caused some speculation as to the
probable successor Governor Ed
| wards will name. 1t is understood
the Jersey City man will retire to
devote his whole attention to his le-
gal practice. The name of William
| r.. TRULY. of Bradley Beach, has
| been heard here as a possibility for
the filing of the vacancy.
The commission is now composed
| of three Democrats, who, in addition
to Mr.. Doherty, are Charles Lyons,
of Fairview, Bergen county n
Charles Il. McNair. of Paterson. Mr..
| TRULY is a Republican in politics,
but he is being discussed as a possi-
bility mainly because of the fact that
he was secretary of the boxing COM
mission until a year & when that
| body became Democratic in political
complexion. This experience may
induce Governor Edwards to consid-
err his name for appointment as a
minority member of the commits
sion.
The term of Mr.. Doherty is not
due to expire until May 8, 1924. His
( salary is $4,000 a year. Political OBJ
servers are saying hat the governor
will select another member of his
own party, rather than a Republic
! can, for this place, especially since
Governor Edge in naming the first
! board, picked three Republicans.
However, friends of TRULY point to
his acquaintance with the boxing
fraternity and followers throughout
! the state and his general activity in
athletic events as reasons why he
would make a good selection for this
commission.
