M„ filled thr « center section or the ..First M. E. It Church last Sunday evening ami 1- listened to an eloquent senium by th« >y Pastor, Rev. John Handlcy. Dr. Hand fd I ley's subject was "The School. th« "> Open Bible and the Flag." Spcakiiy of the school he said: "T.c schoo st room is the only place in the countr; 16 ) today where children meet on a plan tyjof equality. In the school room yo ot equality, in uie scnooi room j»o

| will find all nationalities and com- " I plexions. The school makes Ameri- 61 i cans." Dr. Handley -illustrated this i with a story of a friend in Monmouth tf I County, who had been a teacher for " i thirty years. In his school were Jewiish children, who had been in this tl country' a number of years. Into the c schoolroom one ilay came otlier Jewish " I children, recent emigrants, face and *' ' hand* dirty, and eating a different » •i kind of food. The two would not c 1 mingle. It wsa the teacher who saw F ' . that their hands and face were washed, r ■ their hair combed and saw that they j 0 ■ were taught in the ways of their new i 1 V country. ' Another incident was that of a f I school entertainment where a • Jewish ' s j boy took the part of George Washing- " I ton; an Italian boy, the part of Pat- 1 * rick Henry and a Polish boy, the part ' "'of Benjamin. Franklin— all represent- ' i ing these foremost men of the country 1 '• iiflui intelligent way. •'j Continuing, Dr. Handley said: "The '• I rich and the poor ait down together in the school room. The Compulsory 6 Education law of New Jersey is rei"- sponsible for this State's having the >6 smallest per cent, of illiteracy. The 16 school room is the melting pot from which good Americans are mnde."

Speaking, of the open Bible, Dr. ' Handley said that America believed in the God of the Bible, the Christ of ' the Bible and the religion and freeI ilom of the Bible. Misunderstandings e arise and we .become antagonistic to each other. The part that the war played in bringing about a- better understanding was told by Sf story of the cooperation that-existed In the A. . E. F. between the minister, the priest and the rabbi, for the benefit of hu-i inanity. 6 Dr. Handley closed his sermon with 8 a description of the flag; what the f white stood for— the rod — and the 6 blue; that the stars of the flag stood 6 for tho union of the State*.- He ad- » monished the Junior* that it wa* their lf individual duty to keep right with e their God. ■ . ment and cost thereof.

Tyers," of the Ocean City Fishing Club, acting as chairman. Tho le. r , purpose ot the meeting was to seme on a definite proposition to present tlie commissioners of Ocean City for the use of certain portions of the Camp ground for athletic purposes. • The Anglers' Club was represented by Ed Cornman and Charles MaginN nis; Oceair City Fishing Club by Cluirchill.

eral athletic field. A committee was uppointed to present thcuc requests to the City Commissioners at a regular meeting in the near future. Mr. Hungerford, in explaining why fishing clubs desired the name ol Ocean City Casting Field, said thai nearly every H'y bad community centers or playgrounds but there wasn'l tors piaygrounus out uiriv

city in the United States that had a casting field. Ocean City could lie a pioneer in an entirely new field of recreation. The sporting papers through- , , out the country would pick it up and the Ocean City Cast Field would be1 come nationally known. _ - '* The Camp ground formerly was owned by the Ocean City Association and was secured by the city of Ocean City in 1918 by condemnation proceedings in which there were 2,jBC ilefendants. A storm of protest ffitcJrom taxpayers some time ago when it-was learned the city commissioners con- , torn plated selling a portion of it to , private interests. This move on the • part of the city resulted, in legal ac- . tion by the Ocean City Taxpayers' . League that acted as a stay. . So valuable I* this piece of land , that private interests stand willing to pay the. entire bonded indebtedness of . the city to secure it. The present plan ] for improvements, if carried out. will f give Ocean City one of the finest - athletic grounds in the State of New x Jersey, between Haven and Bay ave0 nucs. . . r The beaeh front end of thi* strip of ground will eventually be uged for if park purposes. There has been talk 1. from time to time of placing a it memorial high school on thi* ground 1 2 near the beach. vjThei* i* a possibility that this unh improved stretch of ground from Bav e to Ocean will be filled and graded beie , fore another season. d 0 1- AUNT ELLEN'S ALBUM By request Aunt Ellen wiU sho* I her Album at the First Presbyteriai _ j Cbureh Friday evening, December 9th ~ Mrs. Simpson presumably will take ,d the part of Aunt Ellen.
