LAST WEEK OF SPECIAL MEETINGS This coining week will likely be the || last week of the special meetings at the First Baptist Church. Already in proportion to the rise of the population of our community the results have been f- more effective than the great campaign in Philadelphia. This without any outin standing human figure, no elaborate ,c organization, no great expenditure of y- money- The Spirit of God has worked ^ quietly but powerfully and impressive!y. Whenever a special need has devels> oped God has provided. Speakers with distinct messages have spoken from ^ the platform and from the floor of the meetings. Testimonies that bore the 18 stamp of sincerity have thrilled the w congregation. When the pastor's voice failed that he could no longer lead the 11 singing. God sent a man talented, train- '■ ed, consecrated, our own Austin Hughes. No one who ever hears him sing - his ? message can quickly forget it. The 8 spirit of fraternalism so manifest in the week of prayer is seen in every congre- •' gation. The Brotherhood prayer meeting on Saturday night is Pentecostal in power. d Forty men were present last Saturday e night and every one got a blessing. Every man in Cape May is invited to come on this Saturday'night at 7.45. e On Sunday morning Pastor McCurdy T will preach on "King Jesus" and at night on "How to Be Saved and How ' to Be Condemned?"

WILLIAM L. BRIAN!. "S ' The sudden passing of Williaqn. L. le Briant, in. New York Chy, on Monday 0- last, comes to many people in this comId munity with a distinct ' sense! of ' perit sonal loss. ts Mr. Briant was born in Cape May, In E. June 1883; was graduated from our ly High School at the early age of fifteen, ic and" went from there, one ye. r to Peddie 1- Institute, and the next to Perkiomen r- Seminary, looking toward a college call. reer. In December, 1911, Mr. Briant's >f father was stricken with a fatal illness, s' and following his death, the son became >1 the man of the family, abandoning the d idea of a college education for the more B serious affairs of lifeHe stadied civil engineering, and upon receiving a commission from the United n States Goveeijnent, -^ig spent a year in f. Porto Rico as a government engineer. At the time of his death still in the employ of the government he was working on the Harlem Tunnell, and was holding >- the most responsible post in his diriA few months ago his life was crowned by the heart and hand of one of our • young townswomen, Miss Georgianna H. Edmunds, to whom he was married on July the 7th, 1914, in New York City. Mr. Briant was a man of unusual r- mental ability and discipline. When but J a boy he had read appreciatively much of the good literature of the world. He - was a man with a high sense of honor who was most kind in his judgments, and unselfish in his motives; a man » who lived his life in the place where '1 God had put him like a brave Christian gentlemen ; a man modest in bearing but great in soul. Few young men have had more mountains of difficulty, and x few young men have surmounted them '• w ith a braver heart. He was one of her sons of whom Oape May is justly proud. AN EVENING OF HUMOR The Classes Nos. 12 and 13, of the Presbyterian Sunday School will pre- - sent Mrs. Marie Moore Barr, elocution - • ist, in an evening of humor at the Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening, - April 8.
