Message of Thanks
From Mrs. Nelson
and the Trustees

The Board of Trustees of the Chris
tian Orphan Home of Fort Lee de-
sire to express their heartfelt appreci-
alton for the kind thoughts shown,
at this time of bereavement in the
loss of their beloved superintendent,
Mr.. John Nelson, by various lodges,
schools and other associations, in
sending flowers or gifts of money to
the Home.
Mrs. Nelson also wishes to sincere
ly thank all for these and for the in
dividual letters and kilograms re-
ceived, full of comfort and beautiful
sentiments which have brought cheer
to her i'll this deep sorrow, the large
number making it impossible for her
to personally acknowledge them.
The expressions of love and sym
pathy from the Home children have
brought her more comfort than almost
any other, and one of the sweetest
tributes to Father Nelson, written
from the heart of Home boy is print
ed here:
The Good Lord needed a man for
His children above, so He took Father
Nelson away.
A man among men, lover of chill
dren, too,
Everybody's friend, to us kids he was
true,
We never missed him, until he was
gone,
To us all he was just plain Father
John.
If in doubt and perplexed in mind
We went to him for advice to find
Then in words of love and care,
He would help us, and our burdens
share.
He prayed with us, and for us as reg
ular as clock,
Much like Jesus the Saviour" he led
his flock,
Many were the times we heard him
say,
On yonder shores may we all meet
some day.
Now that he's gone to God on high,
To be with his Saviour up in the sky
His lessons and advice which he gave
will never cease,
May his dear soul REST In Peace"
From one of his boys,
JOHN T. JENSEN.

Address
By Mr.. Manikam

On Sunday morning last in the
Union Church of Palisade, Mr.. Mani
kan, the leader of the boys club of
the church, preached one of the most
inspiriting sermons heard in a long
time, on THE Appeal of Christ to
India" He said that the message to
the world of Socrates representing
Greece was Know thyself;" of Mar
Gus Aurelius of the Roman Empire
Control thyself;" of Buddha, "Anni-
lihate thyself,' but of Jesus Deny
thyself." India is peculiarly eager
and able to appropriate this spirit.
The enthusiasm manifested by the
students and the people of India in
general for Gandhi is an indication of
how seriously India believes in the ef-
ficacy of spiritual forces.
Mr.. Manikam said that he was
pacifist, that he believed the force of
good will and redemptive suffering
would do more to accomplish high
ends than would brute force

SENATOR MACKAYS HUDSON RIVER
BRIDGE BILL is SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
SILzER AND is NOW A LAW IN N. ].
Duplicate Bill to Be Introduced in New York State
Everything Indicates Legislature Will Pass 1t and
Governor Smith Will Sign 1t; Senator Mackay
Pleased,

AT 10:3O o'clock last Monday night
the signature of Governor Silzer was
affixed to the Mackay Hudson Bridge
bill and it became a law in New Jer-
sey The bill opens the way for the
actual building of a span across the
Hudson River from 178th street in
New York City to Fort Lee, and the
boosters of the bridge are very much
elated.
The next step necessary is to have
duplicate bill passed by the New
York Legislature which is now in ses-
sion. Bridge boosters from both New
Jersey and New York are busy in
Albany bringing all pressure possible
to bear to insure the speedy passage
of the measure.
1t is expected that the bill will be
passed within short time by the
New York Legislature and will meet
very little opposition if any. 1t is also
expected that Governor Smith will
sign it.
When passed by New York the
preliminary surveys will begin at once
ON both sides of the Hudson and with
in a year actual construction work
will start.
Senator Mackay on hearing of the
signing of the bill said: "Of course I
am delighted by the happy conclusion
of these efforts to bring about legis-
lation for a span across the Hudson
from Bergen to Manhattan. / can
only repeat that we are entering upon
great development era for North
Jersey and Bergen county. i
There is no doubt of course that
the New York Legislature will pass
duplicate of my bill at Albany and
that in few weeks the road will be
cleared for the beginning of the pre-
liminary work on this great enter
prise. Soundings and borings and
other preliminary work will be done
on both sides of the Hudson.
Next year l look for actual work
on the great span. In few years
New York and New Jersey will be
united by the first Hudson River
bridge. What this means to Bergen
county is we'll understood by all who
have been considering the possibili-
ties of this much needed enterprise
