ANNUAL REVUE PLANS

Several important matters will be
taken up tonight by the members
of Mainland Post, No. 81, American
Legion, when they meet in their
han on First street.
1t is likely that the matter of a
community Christmas tree may be
taken up. The recent action of
other municipalities in this section
in providing for such feature has
aroused interest here, and the mat
ter will probably come up for dis
cussion at the Legion meeting.
A report on the preparations for
the production of "Chien Claude,
the annual Legion show, is expeSs
ed tonight. Announcement has
been made that the show will be
presented next March in a local

Station WHAR, one of the pio-

Announcement that the station,
which is operated by the Seaside
Hotel, would broadcast no more,
came as surprise. Station WHAR
was established seven years ago
when broadcasting was in its in
fancy.
Harry Cook, manager of the hotel
explained that stations in large
cities, where the local station was
used formerly to advertise the ho-
tel to prospective patrons, now
crowd WHAR off the air, he said.
The apparatus of WHAR is val
ued at $4,000. 1t will be kept in
tact for the time being. Station

Modernism At
AbSecOn Meet
Clergy, Not Laymen, Respon-
sible for Modernism's
Spread, Says DIR. Sloan
CLAIMS Summaries AID
IN UPROOTING CHURCH
100000 Laymen, Sincere in
Purpose, Are Needed To
Stamp Out Movement, He
Tells League

Declaring the clergy, and not
the layman, is largely responsible
for the growth of modernism in the
Methodist Church, Dr. Harold Paul
Sloan fired the opening gun of a
determined fight on the part of.
fundementalists in this section
Saturday.
DR.. Sloan addressed meeting Of
the Methodist League for Faith and
Life held in the Absecon M. f.
church Friday night. He is presi-
dent of the organization.
IF modernism is not treason,
religion is a fraud he declared
In denying the diety of Christ, the
virgin birth, His miracles, His as
cension. IS percent of the Method
ist ministry today is false to its
VOWS
In his scathing attack on modern
ism DIR. Sloan scored the theologl-
cal seminaries, stating that the six
in which many Methodist clergy
men are trained openly teach
modernistie doctrines Revivals
were rejected by the speaker as the
proper prevention and cure.
What we need" he said, is
100000 laymen who mean business
They can stop it. Officials of the
Methodist Church cannot even con-
slider law enforcement until they
get together and rid themselves of
this movement The church can
never be saved, nor brought back
to the position it held IS yeas ago,
with uncertain leaders"
Rev. John Stokes. pastor of the
Williamstown NJ. E. church, made
short address preceding DR.
Sloan's speech. He pointed out that
even the Sunday school literature
in use today aided in converting
children to modernism.
The meeting was attended BY
large number of interested iaynen-

AcquittalO
Mrs. Lilliendahl
Is Predicted
Makes Wonderful Showing on
Witness Stand In Her
Behalf
FAVORED IN WAGERS
AT ODDS Is to l

Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl has
had her dag in court and it is the
opinion Of the majority OF those
who have been watching the trial
closely that she gave a wonderful
performance.
When she stepped from the wit
ness stand late yesterday afternoon
dead tired and boiling mad'-and
either an innocent woman or the
worlds best actress.
Betting among the courtroom
hangers-on was IS to ! in favor OF
her acquittal.
Throughout an intense drama OF
FIVE hours and twenty-one minutes
she registered all the deepest hui
man emotions, except JOY and hap
piness, and withstood with an iron
resolve that amazed the courtroom,
a pounding that must have put
fright and terror into her soul.
NO. did not kill DR.. LilIiendahl,
nor did take any part in the crime
either directly or indirectly.
These words fell from the lips of
an aeress-an actress as artful as
any that ever graced a stage-a wo-
man who could command tears
when tears were necessary; who
could smile at the right moment,
and who could parry direct ques-
tion. This actress is Mrs. Margar-
ct Thompson Lilliendahl, who for
more than five hours matched her
wits against those of the Atlantic
county prosecutor while testifying
in defense Of her life.
While her alleged paramount. Viii
lis Beach, watched her with little
