The Reverend Had a Little
Lamb!

The pastor of colored church in
Tennessee was hailed before the
,.,ard of deacons on serious charges.
1t was alleged that although married
he had been caught in the act of
embracing a comely female member
Of the congregation, in the vestry
room The evidence against him APP
peared to be conclusive. Three pre-
sumahly unbiased witnesses testified
TO the fact.
The accused was asked whether he
had anything to say in his own de-
Tense. He answered at length and
with eloquence. He led off by point
ing out that the word pastor" was
Latin word meaning shepherd"
Therefore, he properly was shep-
herd. He also called the attention
of the court to the fact that in pic
lures and paintings and more fire.

windews the Master Himself was
shown as shepherd carrying a
lamb
New then. he commended, it natu-
rally followed that when he. as the
shepherd, took member of his flock
in his arms. he merely was carrying
out the scriptural example.
In the minds of the deacons there
seemed to be no way of controvert-
ing these arguments. Accordingly
they went into executive session and
drew IN resolutions generating the
preacher, But they added "A proviso.

Bertram waited for Carfax to an

CHANGE HITS POLICE.
Non-Commissioned Officers Must
Report Daily to Captain in
Hammonton


A radical change has just been
naade in the q. nnerat ialp Of the State
- the fourteen sub-stations
radiating from Troop A, headquar-
ters at Hammonton.
Complying with an order issued
by Colonel H. Norman Schwarz-
kopf, commander of the New Jer-
sey State Police, all non-commis-
stoned officers have been with
drawn from sub-stations, and must
report in person to Captain Will
lam J. Carter, at Hammonton.
This means that the sergeants
and corporals at the sub-stations
at Magnolia, Absecon. Mays Land
ing, Tuckahoe, Malaga and other
points in the territory covered by
Troop A must leave those points
in the control of troopers. It il
understood that non-commissioned
officers will daily be dispatched to
the various sub-stations, different
officers covering the same on diff
ferent days.
By this method it is believed
that greater efficiency will accrue
TO the service, none of the officers
becoming too we'll acquainted at
any section to interfere with full
efficiency.
