"But he lived in the same house
as you did," went on the bride
groom.
"Anybody can live in any fiat

"Well," said Mr.. Walsh, "there's
! something funny about this. I
don't believe anybody buys an ex-

less he has good reason to. I'm
going out to hunt for this James Serretti
and have talk with him."
1 But this seemed to be the very last
thing that young Mrs. Walsh wanted him
to do. Down upon her knees, he says,
she pumped and with tears and sobs inn
plored him not to go hunting Serretti. He
had a dreadful temper, she wept, and he
would surely kill her Billy.
But William Walsh arose, gently took
his wife's arms from around his neck and
set forth to find the man who had sent the
bill collector to ask him if he was going to
take the burden of paying for his wifes
fur coat off him. A half hour later he
stood before the entrance to the apart

The big policeman strobe past in the same

At last he took car back to his home.
gAll night his bride and he talked.
Through the blackness of midnight. Into

the girl reached the breaking point
''I'll tell you the TRUTH" Walsh says she

of John Vereb. Chairman Neuberg
felt that the complaint of Vereb was
not fully justified after he has heard
Rutch explain the bus situation.
Rutch's story was corroborated by
Montecalvo of the Middlesex Bus
Association. When Mr.. Neuberg took
the part of the accused, Committee
la McElroy said that he presented
the complaint as a mere intention
to keep the bus schedule regulated.
1t was finally agreed to postpone
action on the matter until a joint
hearing which is to be held shortly
has taken place. The hearing of the
bus people Is to include Perth Am
boy and Carteret busmen. A punch
clock is to be installed here similar
to that used at both ends of the
trip.
Committeeman McElroy was also
granted by the committee permission
10 suspend one of the bus drivers
for two months, as he is said to have
driven too fast and fought with a
passenger in his bus. The complaint
| against the bus driver was made to
Mr.. McElroy by Francis A. Mong-
han, of Carteret. In granting Mr..
McElroy's request, Chairman Neu-
berg asked that Mr.. McElroy be sure
to suspend the right driver.
An ordinance for the daylight saw
Ing system was unanimously passed.
When Mr.. Neuberg instructed town.
ship Clerk Keyes to advertise it in
the three township papers, Commit
teeman Hoy was opposed to the
third paper, published in Avenel, and
asked to omit the advertisement in
that weekly. His motion. was, how
ever, overruled,. Mr.. Neuberg stating
that the ad is given for publicity
purposes. When Mr.. Neuberg fur
ther authorized the insertion of a
cleanup week add, Mr.. Hoy again
opposed, declaring, You can't do it.
The Avenel paper has no standing
it's just a circular Nj. Neuberg
in calm and suave manner finally
won, in giving the Avenel paper the
ad saying that it's done to give the
cleanup week publicity.
No sooner was Mr.. Neuberg
through With the statement than the
| proprietor of the Avenel weekly in
a high tone of voice, stepped for
ward from the secluded spot he &C.
cupied throughout n session and
challenged Committeeman Hoy to a
$25 bet that his paper "has stand
ing" and wanted to prove it by the
circulation 1t has in Fords. 1.-THE
bet Is mine" said Mr.. Hoy, but no
one came forth with the currency.
The betting spirit vas e%nliyened
with means and noise coming from
the lookup, which adJoins the meet

HOME MISSION
WORK. URGED
Rev. Joseph Ewing, Former
Pastor of Jamesburg Church
Speaks in Old Pulpit

! JAMESBURG. April 24:-Rev.
Joseph Lyons Ewing, secretary of
the New Jersey Synodical Home Mis-
sions, a former pastor of the Pres
byterian church, came to his former
pulpit to observe the twenty-tifth an
~niyersary since coming to Jamesburg
as pastor. His talk on Home Mis-
sions" was reminiscent to his pas
torate at Jamesburg.
Home missions. said Rev. Mr..
Ewing, are the foundation of the
greater work of the city churches
and that is the eason that all the
energies of his department are being
devoted to the upbuilding of the
suburban churches of the state. The
changing populations from the cities
are toward the suburban towns, he
said. One million have migrated TO
the outlying districts in a short
period. Within the past few months
$4,000 have left New York City.
Men getting away from the church
are gradually being attracted to the
church again by the home mission
work.
Contrasting the statement that the
immigration hordes to the cities are
demoralizing the plans of the home
mission work was the statement that
Rev. Mr.. Ewing made that he had
addressed a congregation of men at
Parlin In this county, a settlement
of educated men in the main, men
Of college education. and that there
were at least 80 families of this
class who had never had the gospel
preached to them in that thriving
section. No chapel or any a Y
service is being given these people
though they are crying for the Cos
pei.
I'VE should not be led TO believe
that We have to educate the foreign
er in America" he declared. I'VE
have to christianize them and IL this
spirit is not manifest even in James,
burg the pulpit is dead and the
Christian people of the community
claiming to be Christians are shirk-
ing their sworn duty. Do not regard
the foreigners as intruders or invad-
ers but accept them as brethren"
Rev. Mr.. Ewing eulogized the late
Rev. 5. J. McClenaghan, former pas
tor OF the church, who labored as
secretary of the Synodical Home Mis-
sions Board for the work he had
commenced at the Browns-Mills-in-
the-Ptnes in the announcements that
IN June a chapel will be dedicated
as the McClenaghan Memorial chapel
in honor of the work accomplished
by the late pastor.
