] PROJECT MEETS WITH UNI- ' VERSAL APPROVAL AND ' GENERAL RESPONSE j k The drive for the raising of $5,000 i " I to be used as an emergency fund, for i the purpose of advertising Ocean City , I as a seashore resort, is meeting with j ' universal approval and a generous re- 1 1 g j sponse. : , The Chamber of Commerce has evi- i 8 ; dently innoculated the entire community with its enthusiasm, and faith 1 1 in the future of the city. More, they ' are prepared to back up their faith I | with their money. People in all ranks, "land in every department of activity c"/dfave caught the vision of a larger and I r? better Ocean City. They are prepared j V to make any reasonable sacrifice to,f wards realiiing their vision; determined to secure for their home town a ! IS place in the fore front of vacation re- ; 'k sorts on the New- Jersey coast line. "* This is excellent and augurs well for the future- We are profoundly con- , vinccd that Ocean City is as yet in its - '' infancy. None can dare venture to speculate to what proportions and to lv what rank of importance it will grow, ,e particularly if the spirit behind thej Chamber of Commerce movement becomes the general motivating spirit oT tjie town. Ml The indications point strongly in ; that direction. The Automobile j '•v Bridge Company, the Ocean City K;-| wnnis Club, the Y'o&ng Men's Progressive league, together with the I rs banks and other organisations arc throwing themselves whole-heartedly j lichind p- scheme, ami have contriP" buted most generously. Every mail brings a flood of checks *" into the secretary's office, and even ! c" people who have no direct business in- , terests in the city are responding. 1 1P The completion of the drive will of course, be most gratifying. The most ; *" pleasing and promising feature in con- 1 P" nection with the campaign, however, i u" is the complete surrender of the city rs to a new sense of civic responsibility. , 110 bility. rc ' Everywhere we hear the remark r!t maile that Pcean . City should have . engineered some such movement five' e" or ten years ago. ^ Better late than never, though bet- ; ter never late. If every person ■ throws himself or herself enthusiastically into the work, forgetting for the • | moment the very human tendency to 110 1 criticize and complain, much can be ,x done during this year to make up "for; J lost time. ^ We repeat: Bctt^lntp than never, 10 ; but never late. Now, is the psychologyy ' ical moment The day may come when ; we shall regret we did not respond 5,1 when the opportunity came, jmd hail no share in the enterprise. n't PALM SUNDAY SERVICE First Presbyterian Church Y Special Sermons on Special Subjects — Special Muaic by Choir n-| At the First Presbyterian Church, h(i Seventh street ami Wesley avenue, the Rev.

English speaking peoples of thia con- ' tinent, cannot even be dimly con„j That it will exercise a moral effect r and influence upon the entire races of the world (or good, no thoughtful perf'son can doubt. It comes, moreover, t ! within the bounds of possibility, that . j such an alliance will prove to be the . | determining factor in establishing Y what a broken, bleeding and bankrupt . world is seeking and praying for, universal peace and freedom from the k haunting spectre of war. t It therefore, speaks eloquently for t the foresight, the statesmanship and Christian spirit of Kiwanis, that .. through its leaders, it has taken the; n initiative and has arranged an elab- : orate program for the observance of' 0 Candian- United States Days from' 0 April 2nd to 8th, inclusive. e j By means of public speakers, edu- ' ir rational literature, advertisement, banquets and social functions, it wi\l . r bring the matter before the public mind. n No less than 710 clubs arc behind ' ,1 ttit movement Consider further, that ; ,1 the members of these clubs are, the' great majority, men of considerable ; influence, and moral and intellectual prestige in their respective communi2 ties, and we are amply justified in anil ticipating great things as the ultimate result of the celebrations. _ "There is po reason," said a Cana- . ilian Statesman recently, "why Canada and America shoulfl hot b» as closely ■ ># united in spirit, purpose and aims, us e they are geographically." Kiwanis an- " swers, "No reason, then let us get to- ; nether." Realizing that closer friendship is, only possible upon the basis of better | understanding, the Kiwanis Club In- j tcrnation has published a sheaf of! 71 literature, valuable ami" instructive up- 1 on Canada. rl Through the courtesy of Dr. Allen Corson, some of this literature has! come to our office, and we have, .thought that a brief review, might be; L i of interest if only to the students" who; _ 1 are contemplating the essay contest. — Canada comprises the whole of the f northern part of the continent of i. America with the exception of Alaska, g Greenland, Newfoundland and two j small islands. Canada has one-third . the area of the British Empire, and ■ is as large as 30 times England, 18 1 times Germany, almost as large as i Europe. 1 The constitution of the Dominion of ( Canada was founded upon the British i North America Act. As originallv j constituted the Dominion was com- : posed of Canada-Lower and UpperNovia Scotia and New Brunswick; by confederation which came into effect j j by Royal Proclamation, they were * united July 1st, 1867. The legislative power is vested in a j parlimcnt of two houses, called the I ' senate, and the house of commons, i Each province has its own legislative : body, whose power is prescribed by | the. North America Act. I The total number of Senators must (never exceed 104. The House of Comimona has one representative elected by the people for every 30,81!) per- , sons, the Province of Quebec always ! having 65 members, the other prov- ; inees proportionately. r- Theoretically Canada comes under Ihtc dominion of Great Britain, practically she is a self-governing nation, j!

M. s The theme chosen by the rector on e Passion Sunday was "The Good Shepherd." Among the helpful things said, uttention was called to the fact that this "goodness" of the Shepherd nornot mean tihat He Is benevolent and kind only, but One Who is genuine and true; that it is this "Good Shepherd" and not the "HireHng" who will, in [ necessity, 'lay down His life for the I { sheep." Having the power of life and I of death, our "Good Shepherd," ac- ■ cording to His own omnipotent judgment voluntarially laid down His life, r ami by His own power, and according to His promise He rose again .from the dead might not be. left defenseless; but that He might hwom» an everliving omnipresent Shepherd and De"Do we belong to his flock" asked j the Rector:: "Jt" hot, let us ask Him to receive and mark us tor His own, ^ since He knoweth His giwn sheep by name. We need Hip care and protection — we need Him a sure Friend and ' j Guide." Then can we make the e Psalmist's song our song: "The Lord is my Shepherd"! Then may we have some part in the splendid work He has for each one to do in tender search and help for those j who as yet, are "not of His fold." At the evening service the "Raising of Lazarus" was the theme presented. ' 1 In connection with that shortest verse ^ in the Bible: "Jesus Wept," was "Jesus wept! these tears are over, ! But His heart is still the same: Kinsman, Friend, and Elder Brother ie Is His everlasting name. Savior, who can love like Thee ? ^ Gracious One of Beth.yiy. lt Whea the pangs of travail seize us, le i When the waves of sorrow roll. i I will lay my head on Jesus, .f | Pillow of the troubled soul. nj Surely none can feel like Thee, Weeping One of Bethany.
