SERVICE HOUR
IS 8 O'CLOCK
Ministerial Union Sets Time For
Sunday Evening Worship -
Arranging for Picnic.
ELWOOD AND GORDON TALK

The Mainland Ministerial Union
held its regular monthly .meeting in
Wesley NJ. E. Church On Monday, with
Rev. Robert A. Elwood as the princi-
pal speaker, and DR.. and Mrs. S. D.
Gordon as special guests OF the Union.
The Union set the time for Sunday
evening services in all the mainland
churches as eight o'clock. The Joint
Conference Committee was given full
power to arrange for the picnic, which
is to be held Jointly by the Mainland
Union and the Atlantic City Union.
Rev. Robert A. Elwood took for his
subject, 1.-The Friendship Of Jesus
Christ as seen in the Story of Jesus
and Lazarus. In part he said, THE
touch that is greatest is that which
grows out of an acquaintance with
Jesus. 1t was the attention OF Jesus
that makes Lazarus interesting to US.
1t is His light that makes a new rev.
elation Of what we may become.
There came a day when Jesus was
boycotted, but He had one friend,
Lazarus. His home as well as his
heart was open to the Master. The
great question is not ones faith in
God, but Gods faith in US and this is
one of the greatest needs OF the mo-
ment.
THE friendship of Jesus pays phys
ically. It is in the homes OF America
that have the friendship of Jesus
where the young people have the
greatest advantages of life. The edu-
cational system without Jesus Christ
is not a thing, but an egotism. The
need of the church today is simply
Jesus. To catch the vision of Jesus
IS one of the most pressing things of
the hour"
DR.. Gordon, author of "Quiet Talks,
spoke on What Kind of a House do
you Live in" His message was one
of great inspiration to all the minis

Alumni Association
viii Not Give Play
Illness of Coach and Inability of
Others Cause for Decision
To Give Usual Dance.

The Pleasantville High School
Alumni Association will not give its
annual play this year. Although a
Play Committee was appointed, and
the books and cast of the show had
been selected, during the first few
practice nights it was found that the
idea Of giving the annual production
this year must be given up. This con-
clusion followed the announced illness
OF Mrs. Alice Macmillan, who was to
have coached the play, and the state
ment that three of the members OF
the original cast had found it impos-
sible to take parts.
However, when the Association met
Monday evening at the home of Miss
Ella Adams, Washington avenue, it
was decided that the usual custom of
giving the cup to the honor student of
the graduating class, and the medals
would be followed. The class of 90
will be seen out with the usual social
affair, which will take place, if ar
rangements car be made, at the At
lantic City Country Club.
A special meeting will be held next
week to make final arrangements for
this dance. To help financially, a
committee of one was appointed to
interview Manager Zimmerman, of the
Strand Theatre, with the request that
he assist the association by allowing
it to conduct a movie benefit some
night in the near future.
The treasurer of the association,
Miss Frances C. Costello, has sent
bills of dues owed, and has requested
hat every Alumni member send in his
her dues as soon as possible. Dues
hat are unpaid this year will outlaw
the delinquent member, who will not
be given the usual tickets for the
Country Club dance given the depart
ing high school class.
Following the business meeting, the
social committee served dainty re-
freshments. The next meeting will
take place at a time to be announced
later in the home of Mrs. Jessie Cor
don Anderson, Greenway emu

cluded Mrs. j. P. Reilly, Mrs. Jessie

COMMENT
WHAT ABOUT THE STATE
POLICE?

Last Sunday afternoon a regularly
appointed and duly qualified member
of the local police force was stationed
on duty at the semaphore at Washing
ton avenue and Main street. This is
one fof the most dangerous points to
automobile traffic in the State OF New
Jersey. being the intersection of the
two main highways leading to Allan
tic City. The officer had the soma
phore set against the traffic on Wash
ington venue when two members OF
the State Police force approached in
an automobile and deliberately passed
the signal set against them, notwith-
standing that traffic was very heavy
at the time. The officer blew his whis-
tie for them to stop, which they did
after many signals from him, accord
ing to witnesses to the event. After
leaving his semaphore in order to Sc
cure their car number, it is alleged
that they attempted 70 III into him,
an alteration ensued, and the State
officers placed the local officer under
arrest. carted him to Egg Harbor,
from thence to Port Republic, in order
TO locate the particular magistrate
they were after, then back 10 Egg
HarbDr, where he was charged with
attempted assault and released for a
further hearing under $3.50 bail, which
was furnished by Mayor Jackson.
This is, indeed, a serious matter and
one which affects every municipality
in the State. The very enforcement
Of municipal and State laws is involv-
ed in this case. Are the State Police
above the laws of the State. Are they
to be permitted 10 run rough-shod
over municipal authority? Or are we
10 g to it that they respect the laws,
and if they do not, be subject to the
same penalties as any other law VIC
lator? The citizens OF Pleasantville
are solidly behind Officer Carlson.
The Mayor and other public officials
commend his courageous efforts, and
his refusal TO be blufed by the State
minions of the law. Whether he was
right OF wrong, there IS n thing Ger
tain. and that is that if the law per
mits an officer TO be yanked off the
lob while in the performance Of his
official duties, then that law can be
changed none too soon. We believe
in the unfolding of the law at all
costs. and the City should see that its
officers and laws are respected, re-
CARELESS of how high the position the
offender may hold.

THE WATER coMPANYs APPEAL

The local Water Company are about
TO make an appeal 10 the Public Utili-
" Commission for a slight increase in
rates. They have set forth in detail
through an advertisement in The Plea
santville Press just what they propose
to ask for. and just the reasons they
are asking for this increase. Public
sentiment generally is antagonistic TO
public utilities, and their requests for
any increases in their rates are gen
orally looked upon with disfavOr, Re
CARELESS of the merits OF the claims
Of the company affected. There are
occasions. however. when increases
are justified, and we believe that the
better Judgment of the large portion
of consumers will be that this is one
of such instances. When we consider
the great increase in the population
Of Pleasantville and the vast amount
of building that is taking place, open
ing up streets for which water and
other service must be provided, it
must be realized that a vast outlay of
money is necessary TO meet this ever
increasing demand upon the resources
of these utilities. The Water Conn
pany is trying TO keep pace with The
Citv's development, and they should
receive the announcement OF all good
citizens.
