Community Watch Night Service At First M. E. Attracted Large Crowd SINGING OK KIWANIS OCTETTE WAS A DECIDED KEATCRK. DBS. IIANDLKY, BUCK AND ADAMS CONDUCT COMMUNITY COMMUNION SERVICE

Dr. John Handle}' received a happy inspiration when he con- . ceived the iilea of celebrating the passing away of the old year and 1 the advent of the new, by a large i community soryicc. It was an inspfrlng 'sight to J witness the members of the various congregations in the city unit- i ing together around the Altar raU, and receiving the' communion ; t elements from the hands of either . Dr. John Hundley, Dr. Milton , Buck, or the Rev. J. B. Adams, who officiated for the occasion. . The unity of thcTrotcstnnt faith and churches could not be mope strikingly exemplified. The; service should and without doubt , will; be the means of closer fcl- , lowship and co-operation between the bodies represented than ever . before known. _ vice came the community service. ^ An especially interesting feature j .. in this meeting was the selections . splendidly rendered hy a double . quartette umler the leadership of W. H. Colllsson, Jr. A finer combination and balance J. of voices could not have been de-j5 sired. Singing unaccompanied, i ! one or two of the selections were exceedingly effective, while all;-, were good. . The singers included W. H. Col-j lisson, Jr., Prof. Harry H. l.akc. Scott Adams, Russell II. Nulty, « Homer Shoemaker, Walter Shcr- r man, E. M. Sutton, and Prescott ; Cailman. It is (o be hoped that tl this excellent octette w ill lie heard ' In mis excellent ocicuc will nc neam

again. Dr. Milton G.- Buck who was the first speaker, struck a distinctly! evangelical note. i Taking as his theme, "Christian : Progress, Dr. Buck said, "Every Christian regrets that his progress has been slow. Especially as the old year closes around us, does this thought haunt us. Yet we feel the New Year will give us opportunity l« make a new start. Every year is a new beginning— , yes, and so is ever}' day." , Dr. Buck then proceeded in a very impressive manner to enum- , erato several desirable objectives , towards which his hearer might j aspire. "Let us go on to greater , Christian knowledge" he said. "On t to a richer experience; on to higher attainments. Pray and you will aspire. First principles are important, but there are higher and nobler things to attain. Personal intimacy with Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, power • In prayer, these are the goals to- ' wards which every Christian a Concluding. Dr. Buck pleaded for greater consecration in . Chris- J tian service. ^ "Pray and you. will work, and - there is no joy comparable to that of winning souls." Clayton Haines Brick came next offering at the outset an apology for the seemingly political color of his address. He came he sail I with a town message, a question which was of extreme importance' to Ocean City. The coming spring electorate of the dty would lie caUed upon, to elect three men to form the city' administration. Let the churches of the city, together with all civic organisations bond themselves together to elect men who would; I maintain the traditions of the past and its christian sabbath. Rev. J. B. Adams prefaced a ! very humorous and instructive ail- 1 dress, by remarking that he was' the dryest man in New Jersey. Seldom u day passed without his he tiring a request for good liquor. Strange to say, it was always required for somebody who was] sick. "As a matter of fact." said j the speaker, "there is no good; liquor to be found. There is an \ abundance of liquor in existence;; but good liquor is iiecoming a very , scarce commodity." Rev. Adams declared it as his' conviction that the coming year would lie the most important in the matter of law-enforcement every known, and likewise the most successful. Concluding Rev. Adams made an earnest request that if any person in the congregation, knew of a place in Ocean City where liquor was being made or sold, that they would inform him or thej police authorities. The large congregation then I filed down into the basement where | sandwiches and coffee were served i anil where all enjoyed a social intermission.

i iuni; the last moments of the old - year were spent in devotion. Dr. Milton Buck heralded the, I; dawn of the new year, by propos- • : ing that the meeting go on record j as opposed to the exhibition of. I Arbuckle films, in Ocean City.
