EVANGELISTIC > CAMPAIGN ' THE UNION RELIGIOUS MOVEMRfe A GREAT ASSET TO THE CITY W • CAPE MAY AND VICINITY. ■ There are many signs of a determination on the part of our town leaden, to have a bigger, busier, better 1 Cape May. Such an effort should have . the hearty cooperation of every citizen. There is no more favorable sign of ( ; the genuineness of this striving for bet- j ter things than the Union Evangelistic 1 meetings planned for January. This is distinctively a Oape May movement, the . 1 leadership, the preaching, the singing, the personal work will be by our own , people. There are times,' no doubt, j When an outside man can come Into a community smd sweep it by cyclone me- , thods into better living; but this movement springs from s conviction that we | in Oape May the religious vitality and spiritual power to inspire and di- f : re ct a revival that shall express our ' own community's aspirations for a | higher standard of Hfe, ( This effort does not Bpring from any that (Ape May is especially de- . p raved. On the contra y it is based on j a real faith in the healthy, normal na: . ture of our people. We believe that , this desire, though partially dormant, only needs an earnest appeal and a , suitable opportunity to spring into ac1 tive. forceful life. ( A revival in a town that does not . mean a better town economically is a failure. Each man that yields to its influence must become a better neighbor, more keenly alive to the interests a of his fellow citizens. Each bad habit . eliminated means that some one is more t of a man, physically and mentally, for j business. If we reach the drinking j man or victim of rice we have not only saved to useful citizenship men who , lost the power bo direct their own , live* to worthy ends, but their earn- j will henceforth go iuto-"f!ie legitimate lines of trade. . A successful re- t rival that doe* net faring to, thi q for hills long given up as lo*t , would be a religious curiosity, and this in spite of the fact that every eonmu- ( nity harbors some dead-beats who are , very ardent churchmen. While, from circumstances far beyond the power of any one in Cape May , to change, it will not be possible for all the churches of our city to unite, it does j not follow that all are not equally in- , < terested in the moral welfare of our community. It ia to be hoped that the ( other organizations will find s way of their own to appeal to the wayward of 1 their flocks so that in spirit we may he , united in an effort for a happier and , Cape May.

BATTLE OF GETTTSBURG DESCRIPTION OF TO* GREAT THREE-DAYS BATTLE 4H WHICH 80 MUCH DEPENDED FOR THE FINAL SUCCESS OP THE NORTH. ESN ARMY. The writer of this article, Mr. John Harvey, of Philadelphia, was a member of the 65th Pennsylvania Volunteer Scott Legion.

To the Editor of the Btar and Wave of Cape Msg, New Jersey : Dear Sir: Perhaps it would be interesting to many readers of your valuable paper to know the "Greatest Battle" ever fought fa any part ot the world since the date of civilisation until July let, 2nd and 3rd of 1883, ot Gettysburg, Pa. Search the world's histories of the great conflicts fa the past. You wfll find it the most desperate and destructive one among them. The number ©Mires lost and cripple* made in three day* fa surprising to all historians according to the cumber of men engaged. More astonishing when you think the Minority Army drove the majority one off of Pennsylvania soil. It has been shown that Lee crossed the Potomac into Maryland with 116,000 men. It is also shown that Hooker's Army readied from Frederick City to near Baltimore with 95,000 men, 90,000 . of those troops were at Harper's Ferry, under General French. We lay at- Frederick City for three days, where Hooker appealed to Halleck to see if he could evacuate Harper's Ferry, and put the in his command. Haileck's reply was "Under no conditions. That Harper'j Ferry was the key to Washington." Hooker says, "What good is the key after the door is knocked in.
