WITH THE CHURCHES METHODIST 1 This church will participate in the ' to Church" program of the wed; ' of prayer. Next Sabbath the pastor ( will have a special sermon for the members of the churchy and their | friends at the morning service. ' Extra effort is being made to have ^ each member present for the service. At the evening service a message ] ' will be given in keeping with the day. | All members, adherents and friends of . the congregation are invited to come . : to all the services and help make the ] • "Go to Church Sunday" a success. BAPTIST i All members are urged to be pres- ' ' , ent at both services on "Go to Church " j Sunday," January' 9th, inst. Let all ■ bring a friend.- Think over the true ■ inwardness of the value of a religious ■ community! What value— do you • ] place upon the church ? Would you J • wish to live in a community that was I , j churchless ? Rally the forces to the 1 1 call of God and the church! (Make . ] this "Go to Church Day" a great day for all. r PRESBYTERIAN On Sunday next, January' 9th, we ■ shal hold services appropriate to the I "Go to Church Day." Every mem- _ , ber by virtue of his holdings in the , church is morally obligated to insure , the success of the particular Sunday. . Be impressed with the fact that it is > , your special duty to be in your place j j and uphold the religion in which you> believe! Y'our example, is worth! r many sermons! , The Annual Meeting of the Presbvj terian Sunday School was held at the close of the session on Sunday afterl noon last. The secretary reported . an average of 89% for the year 1920. . Highest attendance, .119, on October 10th; lowest, 54, September 12th, • The teasurer reported, offerings from I all sources, $913.19. Of this S47L21 I went to the Near East Relief, $86.66 ' to Foreign Missions, $76.83 to Home • Missions and $14-00 to Sunday School - Missions. } The officers elected for 1921, were; - John W. Mecray, superintendent for ? the thirty-third time; Gilbert C. t Hughes, assistant superintendent; I. i, H. Smith. librarian and treasurer; i Frank B. Mecray, Yecording.secretary; - J. E. Mecray. financial secretary; Mrs. J Gilbert C. Hughes, pianist; Mrs. Thomas L. Vanwinkle, Mrs- J. W. El- ■ dredge, and Mrs. J. E. Mecray, execu1 tive committee. Messrs. J. E. Mef crav and Spencer Nelson were present every Sunday in 1920. The help problem is mainly one of helping yourself. o Times have changed wonderfully in s recent years — a man isn't old until he e is feehle. and a Woman is never old. When a man expresses sympathy - for old maids he means that he re- - grets their inability to do as well as his wife did. . xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PILGRIM AND NEW ' TEAR CELEBRATIONS Academically "knocking" is "out of order!" To aid a friend in the dis- , co very of his faults is charitable! Reorganization and revamping a Society does not necessarily prove vital- j izing or energizing! Possession of knowledge and the absorption of "learning" gives pleasure but is of no - particular service independent of utility of adaptation to action! False] "boosting" is a deception and a snare! | * Misrepresentation by advertising is j silliness incarnate and ultimately] j suicidal 1 Phantom-chasing is for T - childhood, perfectly. pro per! Realism ' * is for "grown-ups" and requires the infusion of intensity of action to bring practical results! Talk is common; it is also cheap! Fiatitudiness emptiness is in perfect accord., and in keeping with the natural "gift-of-the-gab!" Solid and staid propositions i only, fit in with the 'practical common I sense governed by well balanced reasoning! All of which precceding ] leads i>p to the questions at issue, viz: Why did Cape May City have no JiNew Year's celebration ? And, is a . | Pilgrim celebration of some dimen- | tions "not in order" when all the rest j of the world is celebrating in some 1 \ form or other and thinking of Pil- ' grimism ? Considering the fact that i of all places in the United States in ' which the descendants of -the Pilgrims predominate in such large degree we j ; ought to be lax! Can we not have ^ | ' a Pilgrim Day. or Week? i , I i PEACE TIME R*0 CROSS . PRAISED BY PERSHING. ! General John J. Pershing, one of the ' [ ! committee of prominent Americans , !i working hard for the success of the i 1 annual Red Cross Roll Call. November 1 1 14 to 20. tells why he Is undertaking this additional task : "It gives me real pleasure to pledge , my hearty support to the Fourth Roll Call of the American Red Crosa. While " the opportunity for Its greatest service ' comes during times of war, and its - achievements during the late World r War have been unparalleled, yet there „ la and perhaps there alwaya will be a t vital need for the humanitarian work t which lt renders. The present and . former service man can never forget 5 the Red Cross, not only for what lt did 5 for them during the war. but for what 1 lt Is doing now In the army camps and posts and wherever needed In as- : slstlng the ex-service men throughout r the country. The value of the Amerl- , can Red Cross as a peace time organ- ' lzatlOD can hardly be over estimated " and we owe U our loyal support and ■ active co-operation."

THE DIFFERENCE $(T SAW you coming up the street I A and standing at the gate with Mr. Honeybug and Mr. Playfalr," said vJamesfrorthy. "All three of yon _ were laughing so the whole neighborKrvrvA ~>„m *ou. I wonder why

If you could tell a story as well as Honeybug does, I'd fill these ; ancestral halls with silvery laughter, I you never try to say anything amusing, Mrs. Jpmesworth.v. You do I tell stories, but tliey are of a glootny . and tragic character. ! "Last night, when I came home, you j told a dramatic story to the effect that j you had callers all afternoon, and hndn't 'a chance to cook anything for | me, and so I had to eat canned salmon ^ and soda crackers, and wnsh them down with water, and I Insist that when a husband comes homb from his I arduous labors In the clanging mart, so empty that his watch chain makes a clanking sound when lt .flaps against his spine, he should have warm victuals, something he can consume with pleasure and pride. The fact that you had an Invasion of callers is a cheap excuse. "My sainted mother never would have permitted any callers to interfere with her management of the cookstove. She realized that her old man : kept the shebang going, and that he should have the right of way. If any ' old hens happened to be In the house when grub time approached, my mother would request them, firmly but respectfully. to chase themselves, and If they didn't like lt they could lump It When my father came home from his work, the hay was always In the manger for him, and. he never had to , wait five minutes for a meal. . "The day before yesterday, when I came staggering home, faint and I weary from my herculean efforts to I make both ends meet, you told me an- 1 other story. It was to the effect that j you had been downtown sizing up a j shipment of new spring hats. Just re- [ celved at the millinery foundry, and j you were so interested you forgot the lapse of time, and didn't get home In ; time to cook anything. Rut you flashed ) a winning smile at me. and said it wouldn't take yon ten minutes to warm j up a cifti of beans, and there was some I cold coffee left from breakfast, and you !' had plenty if smoked herrings on | band. ! "Donhlless I should have burst forth into boisterous laughter over this en- : tertaining anecdote, hut somehow it didn't nppeal to my sense of humor, j ; ; I was so busy that day I hadn't time ! ' ' to eat anything at noon, and all the ] \ way home I was hoping you would j , have a porterhouse steak about three t i Inches thick, and a raft of boiled po- j ' ; tatoes, and perhaps a slab of mince 5 1 pie as an epilogue. . 1 "The day before that, when I came ' home as hollow as a bass drum, and r j fairly gnashing my teeth with ifcun- ' ger. you related a humorous story to ; I the effect that your club didn't adjourn ^ on time that afternoon, and you didn't ' | get home until late, so I would have i i to get along with a picked-up supper, j | If I would be patient a few minutes, » j you said, to make the story seem more < i spicy, you would boil an egg for me. ? 1 and there was cold corn bread In the ) i cupboard.
