IwELL KNOWN TEACHER HERE 'MR. C. SWEENY, SUPERIX- ! j TENDENT OF THE LOCAL j j SCHOOLS 33 YEARS AGO IS. j LIVING HERE— IS GRADUATE OF PRINCETON AND ! BLOOMSBURG NORMAL. W — j j From Tuesday's Daily Star and Wave. I Charles P. Sweeny, superintendjent of the Cape May school over 1 thirty years ago, is spending the i summer with his family in their newly erected cottage at Hughes and Howard streets. Mr. Sweeny is a graduate of Princeton University and the Bloomsburg, Pa., State Normal School. Fresh from his studies Mr. Sweeny at the age of 24 years came to Cape May where he took charge of the local schools. He spent nine years here during which he wrote the graded courses, lie then went to Lykens, Pa., and later to Orwigsburg where he spent nine and six years respectively grading and superintending the schools until his methods were thoroughly installed. During the last sixteen years Mr. Sweeny was in charge of the Darby schools with thirty-three teachers and about sixteen hundred pupils in' his charge. Mr. Sweeny was married to, EMiss Emily Stevens, of Cape May, who with their children will spend t the entire year in this resort . ; li NEW JERSEY HAS FINE FERTILE FARMING LAND t The possibilities of the soil of this state is demonstrated by Linford Halbruner, the well-known Lower Township farmer who brought to this office p « stock of corn measuring twelve feet f in length and contains three ears of , Six years ago, the land on which Mr. Halbruner is growing his giant stocks of corn, was a gum swamp cov- • , . cred with large roots, some of which , were ten feet long. Mr. Halbruner, ' , at ,an expense of a hundred dollars. . eh-ared off an acre of grown d by tie , use of dynamite. Last year the yield . was 108 bushels of corn. The stock brought to this -office is only : , a sample of the entire crop. It was . j planted on April 30 and represents a ' . j three-months grow th. I This is an indication of the fertility 'j i of the soil which is-not exceeded bv soli , J «nv other state. ' {, .

CIDENT TO SABBATH OB- j SERVANCE MOVEMENT — , WANT MOVIES CLOSED, j From Tuesday's Daily -Star and Wave. ' Following out their plan to war ' on Sabbath desecration, tlie Revs. : Lake and MeCurday Sunday evening pre'aehed on "Sunday observance." The Rev. Lake spoke to a large ' congregation in . the Methodist Church from the text, ' ' Remember ; tlie Sabbath Day to keep it Holy."| "Tlie seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord Thy God.',' This was changed to the "Lord's Day" of the first eenturv and to the Sabbath of our Christian civiliation. We recognize tlie difficulties of applying this principle in a community life of great com- 1 plexity such as ours is today, yet. tfe must preserve one day in which God and enternal things shall be clear to the souls of men. There are three questions we may ask

ourselves In order to bring out the sdbject First, ought we not to obey God's law? Should not God's P law command more respect than L» an ordinance of a city or a legislative enactment of state or national irovemment ? Second, ought we " not as Christians to love the L Lord *8 Day. 6imp)v because it is S* reserved by Him for His honor, j. Ought we not be true to that . P which stands for God in the world just at a bride holds saered the ring on her finger which stands for the love of her husband ? ■ Ought we not be true to that which |- is at the foundation of God's it Church? If there was no Sabe bath at all. could there be any r Christian Chnrch at all? Ought is we n°t he true to that which is fundamental in our Christian civf ilization and distinguishes it from e paganism-? Third, ought we not tl love "Man's day." The Sabbath s was made for man. for his body s for rest, for his mind for relief k'and change from absorbing busie ness. for his sonl for its eternal g welfare. L The situation in Cape May, aa 1 revealed in an interview between e the Mayor and the three Protest- _ ant clergyman is simply this: g There is no Sunday law enforceP ment in Cape May City, with the e exception of the liquor busine88^» s Everyone of you can open up next s Sunday to your hearts' content 1 without fear of being disturbed ] • by our city authorities. We asked the Mayor to close up the places j of amusement on the boardwalk and the business houses on Wnshj ington street, and lie replied: ' 1 Gentlemen, we cannot discriminate." The Mayor fell back on • the common position of all law- ' violators; "we ought to stop the 8 railroads and trolleys and drug • stores and milk dealers, electric " light companies. etc., or give ; everyone an equal chance." But 1 we all know that we have comF rnunity interests. We are not living in the state of society of k . 1 hundred years ago when each ; home had its own tallow candles or kerosene lamp. We ask for a ,sane enforcement of law. The > community depends wholly upon ■ the gas plant or electric light plant ' and sueli general business enterprises. They are necessities but we • ought not therefore give free ljoense to every five-cent catch-pen-1 private interest, nor be a cheap row of business bouses for private gain in violation of things most saered . ; At. the First Baptist Church on * Sunday night in his sermon on i "Drifting." Pastor MeCurdy spoke in part as follows: "It is easy just to drift. To go with the crowd. To lielong to the : big church. To smoke a little, to drink a little, to dance a little, to ! patronize the theatre a little, to : a little, to flirt a little, and, l to be just like the colorless crowd ja great deal . It is so easy to drift lawav from mother's Bible and I mother's teaching, and the Sunday .school and the old church. It is much more pleasant to act like Romans when one is in Rome than it is to ret like on's conscience dictates. Tt is so hard to lie peculiar, to he different, to run the risk of being called "Goodygoody." It is startling to note the swift progress one makes in drifting but alas! it is always down stream. No one ever drifts up stream. Moral drifting means moral shipwreck. No one ever drifted into a well-developed Christian character. Religious drifting means relig"ious shipwreck. The person vfto ~ boasts that be i« «n broad that he attends all the chorda- and beto none, is a religious tramp. He is an ecclesiastical hobo.

By the very nature of our gov- " | ernment we stand in peculiar da% -,ger from men in public life who i a re drifters. Men who will not ; carry out their solemn oath of office unless they are forced to do 4 it. Men who will not enforce the r law except by petition or by the j, ! uprising of an outraged populace. Tlie opening of the moving pie.- _ tu re shows in our exclusive resort on Sunday night is simply an ine dieation of a tendency to drift int to the open Sunday of the ot! rw i- ; coast towns. •j The ministry calls upon all cit- <3 j zens who are jealous of the good name of Cape May to call a halt ; and to demand of the mayor that , he honor his oath of office and en- . force, the law. Dr. S. S. Aikman. of the Pres^ . bvterian church will preach on the . same subject Jn the near future. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA
