WCT OE AT CHURCH DR, C. 0. BOSSERMAN, FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, PREACHES — BACCALAUREATE SERM@N TO LARGE CLASS OF GRADUATES. On last Sunday morning, the members of the Senior Class of Cape May High School were the guests of honor at the Presbyterian Church, | where they enjoyed a unusually good sermon preached by Dr. Borserman, the title of which was "What doest thou here?" The Seniors walked to the church from the High School in their Caps and Gowns. They were accompanied by E. R. Brunyate, Superintendent of Schools, and the members of the Faculty. At the close of the sermon, they were reassembled at School, cnd then were dismissed. Special music, consisting of solos by Mrs. Sotzin, Music Director of . the High School and by Mr. Ronald Qu dort, was provided for the service. A condensationof Dr. Bosserman‘s sermon follows: I Kings 19:9 "What pan thou here?" The class of 1919 is to be congratulated on the completion of the Hig! School course of study. For the future you now face we wish you all success. That success will depend on your conception of life and duty, and the earnestness you throw into them. Let us study the searching question of God to His servant Elijah that we, His servants in the present age, may profit by it. The old prophet was running away from duty. He was not doing, had no program. A woman‘s threat had af frighted him. He felt that God war unfair to the hero of Mount Cannel He was miserable enough to want to elation, but the, "I, even I only, veals the heart of the prophet.

(TO TRANSFER | | COAST GUARD CAPT. HARRISON WRITES BOOK URGING THAT COAST GUARD BE — INCORPORATED | WITH NAVY DEPARTMENT A movement has been on foot for me time that would transfer the U. 8. Const Guard from the Treasury Department to the Navy Department. [A bill was drawn up ond presented {beforethe last session of Congress but failed to pase legislation . Another bill has been prepured for the present Congress, and it is greatly hoped by Const Guard men that it my be passed. Captain P. H. Harrison, T. S, C. G., the present Commander at Wissahickon Barracks, has just published a pamphlet | on . this fect, — which should be of grent interest to the many Const Guards of Cape May County. !

APT. P. H. HARRISON, U. 8, C. G. On Juanunry 28. 1915, the old Life|e aving Servies and the Revenue Cuter Service were upited into one, to be l: mown as the I mited States Const Althoza the Const Guard, at wu designated as one of he military forces of. the | United tates, it was to be operated under the y Depact ment in time of peace, ut under the Navy Department in ime of war or when the | President hould to direct. During the prost wer, the errors stem have been brought ut, and the plu ccems to . be any» hing other thai practical. The transfer rom one department o another incurred much labor ard ‘xpense, which would have been une gone through again in order to ransfer the Coast Guard back into he Treasury pac mont. The members of the Coast Guard oted this great handicap and amw t many advantages could be gained by having their branch of the Service ently under Naval control. A ommittee was elected and a bill was drawn up, which embodies the views all branches of the Coast Guard rvice. In his pamphlet, Captain: Eucrison s pointed out all of these advantages nd has set them forth in a clear, onvincing manner. R In Section 1, the duties of the Const Guard are given as Specified by the gulations for the government of that Service, . They: STC‘ 1 Rendering Astistance t Va cels in Distress and Saving Life and Prep"J Protection of Castoms Revenue, A Destruction . Of — Removal | of rocks, Dorelicts, 0r other dangers to Cnvigation. as © dtending Medical Ald to U. 8, Ve. sel engaged in dcop sen fisheries, & Operating 25 2 Part of the Navy in time. of war o" when the President sal] so direct # — Enforcement of rules and Yegu

lations regarding anchorage of vensels. 7 Enforcement of Laws relative to Immigration, Quarantine | and . New: trality. 8 Suppression of Mutinies on Merchant Vensels, 9 Enforcement of Navigation Laws and other laws governing Merchant Vessels and Motor Boats. 10 Enforcement of Law to provide for Safety of Life on Navigable Waters during Regattas or Matine Parades. 11 Protection of Game and the Seal and other Fisheries in Alaska. 12 Enforcement of Sponge Fishing Law. 13 Administering Oaths . generally Alaska. 14 Collecting Statistics regarding Loss of Life and Property on Vessels. Of these duties, four are delegated to the Department of the Treasury, four to the Department of Commerce, two o tthe Department of the Navy, while four do not bave any particular designation. Four of these duties, viz, Nox. 1 3, 5 and 11 are regarded as Important, ile the remaining ten duties are merely incidentals, The two . duties that are delegated to the Navy Department are found among the four important duties, while the four duties attributed to the Treasury Department appear to be among the Incidentals. In the following Sections, Captain Harrison shows just what the status of each will be in event of the transfer. Men now comissioned in the Coast Guard would receive equivalent ratings in the Navy, and so on down through the Warrent Officers, Petty Officers and Seamen, The men will have all the advantages of Navy men in regards to promotion, benefits, ete. Also several civilian employees, ex perts in their respective lines, will be taken into the Navy and will receive the benefits of retirement after a prescribed length of service. Eech man is to be placed on the retired list of the Navy after thirty years of service with three-quarters of his highest active duty pay, Thi is a just reward to men who have given their entire lives to the Service much to the detriment of their health This proposal legislation has been thoroughly discussed and ha« | be» found to mppear decidely advantage ous to the Treasury Department, De partment of Commerce, and especially to the Navy Department. Naturally the Coast Guards themselves will be greatly benefitted.

s evident results of this legirlation, Letter than those of Captain Harrison as he sums up his pamphlet. | He says: "The evidence from all sources I overwhelmingly in favor of thi jeet and if judged on its merits the unbiased cannot but recarnize that it is in the interests of the country to effect this amalgamation without delays" / "We may then logically: conclude that the pemanent tansfer of tne Const Guard from the Tronsury Department to the Navy | Depurtment wil result as follows:" 1 "It will not be detrimental to the Treasury Department or any of its subdivisions but wi‘ improve the efficiency of the performance of Coast Guard duties, because of better and more abundant equipment." 2. "It will relieve the | Treasury Department of the administration of a military service, which performs for it only slight service and that more by reason of tradition then of neces ity." 3 "It will not be detrimental to the Department of Commerce, for the enforcement of the Navigation Laws and Motor Boat laws will be accomplished by the — Navy." 4° "It will benefit tne Navy by giv= ing it the services of a number of trained experiences officers in . such rank that they can be used to the best advantage for the goo of the country, particularly in the immediate future in returning the Army from Europe." 5. "It will improve the efficiency of the Navy by opening ta young naval officers a field of training which will give them a broader experience | in seamanship and consta‘ navigation. The performance of these . sc-called Coast Guard duties | give. experience that can be gained in no other way and which is necessary to round the professional training of a . seasguing personnel." 6 "It gives the Navy control and operation of a eonstal communication tem which is of groat value in the (Continued on page 8)

Daughters" to fill up the Gap and carry on Memorial Day, exerci They will keep their pledge always by planting flowers of springtime upon the graves of their fathers and teach the younger generations to do t‘e sume.
