' A letter from the Cape May Coal and c Ioe Company in which they returned the > prize monev_won by their float on Hal- ' lowe'en was received with thanks. The t company returned the money in order r that it may be used to start a similar " form of amusemnt at another date. ' The Amusement Committee has been '• instructed to take up the matter of a 1 New Year's Mummers Parade, and make c an effort to Secure special trains for [ this occasion.

Mr. Ogden, who is after the mosquito 1 with a vengeance, has also been reading state laws on the subject, and has discovered that the Freeholders can appropriate $13,000 p it year to fight this peat.

In a resolution prepared by Mr Ogden, to be sent "to Secretary Garrison and to the secretary of the Navy, it was dearly- demonstrated that Cape May was the one -real point to establish fortification* to protect great muni-' tion and ship building plants on the Delaware Bay.

C. Er SOCIETY PROSPEROUS i CAPE MAY DELEGATE TO THE n STATE CONVENTION GIVES EX- 8 CELLENT DESCRIPTION OF THE 1 WORK HOW PROGRESSING. 1 o At the Consecration Meeting of the Y. <- P. S- C. E., of the Presbyterian dureh, F Friday-evening, November 5th, Miss Mc- * gave the following report: c When you consider that I, as your " delegate to the New Jersey Statfe C. E. b Convention held in Eliabeth, N. J., Oc- c tober 6, 7, 8, I listened to more than ' addressee by 25 prominent men, all '' of whioh were worthy of honorable men- " tion, you will appreciate what it means P bring a correct and concise account of the doings of that convention to you in h the shape of a written report. As you perhaps know I was not able * attend the first day's sessions but ar- ' rived in Elizabeth late Wednesday * night and went directly to the convenien church '-where I was assigned a room " mate and a place to stay during the * convention to which 1 was escorted by L a Boy Scout in uniform. The first meetings attended was on I Thursday morning beginning at 9.00, a jong service, followed by a "quiet r hour." led by Rev. J. W. Rogau of Red Bank, during which the doore were 0 closed and no one was allowed to leave 1 or enter. Mr. Rogan's topic was "Daily ( Manna." He said that the Bible is our ^ ! daily m.-inaa and every Endeavorer 1 should learn by heart verses, if not ' . whole chapter* of th* Pib1». One ' \ erse lie quoted: "The eternal God is ' thy refuge; and underneath are the ' everlasting arms." At 10 o'clock the doors were opened ' and after singing the convention was ad- ! dressed by Rev. F. W. Johnson. Rah- ' . way, . on "Sabbath Observance." He 1 . said that as C. E.'s we should advocate 1 a not too strict observance of the old 1 t Puritanical Law, remembering that the 1 Sabbath days were meant for holy days 1 f and not cheap holidays. He said that the automobile is undoubtedly the cause > , of a great many empty pews and Sun- . I day violation generally. After this address, a solo by Miss J Edna Schmidt of Elizabeth, and then ( a short address by Mr. Percy R. Neussle . on "Introduction." He stated that the j work of this department is two-fold. t It first helps young people to become , acquainted in their new homes and to , be placed in some Society; and second" J to send State workers to local Societies to arouse interest and enthusiasm. He ended with a quotation from - Franklin, I "Resolved to perforaa what yma might; t and without fail perform what jm* re- , . solve." j Tie convention seraso».wa« M lined g by Jtev. John T. Kerr, pastor of the eon,j vention church. His subject was "Spare

Thyself — Spend Thyself — Which I" He . said that Jesus brands the first as dev- ^ ilish nevertheless, it is most commonly used by worldly men, notwithstanding such a rule will work injury to the one who follows that rule. "Spend Thyself" Jesus said of it, "t must." Why ^ was it a necessity? Because through A sacrifice alone could God reveal Himself to the world, and this way alone n could be accomplished what He came to ^ earth to do. p From 12 to 12.30 were held meetings g in the different factories and shops ^ led by Christian Endeavor workers which were much appreciated by the employees. In the afternoon following the devotional services, there was a stirring adI dress by Mr. 0. C. Hamilton, Field Sec- » retary for Ohio. He referred to the D "Challenge" given to C. Pi by Father , Clarke at Chicago for 1915-1916, | namely: J | Figures in parenthesis increase in Cape May County.

Shares in the Association have a value of $25, and are payable U» . weekly payments of ten cents eajh^-Tn i case the church shall have to borrow 1 money in order to proceed with its new the constitution of the Asso- ; ciation provides that the income from i the Association shall take care of the ; interest on such a loan and that the balance of the income shall be applied to payment of the principal.
