KUNIANS HEAR A STIRRING ADDRESS BY DIUOHNSDN DELEGATES NAMED TO ATTEND CONVENTION IN ATLANTA Rev. Leo McCabe Johnson, evnn-j grlist of the Philadelphia Metho- 1 ; diet Conference, was the principal speaker at the noon hour luncheon ; of the local Kiwanis Club. , "The Mountain Peaks of Life" i , was the subject of Dr. Johnson'.-', address, taking as the basis of his ( eloquent and impressive remarks, the famous mountains of the Bible j The mountains of biblical his- , lory, the speaker declared, repre- t sent each certain definite expert- ; j ences and principles, all of which t must be negotiated anil conquered , before man or woman can attain!, the the highest ideals of life. t The first mountain named was j Morah, the scene of Abraham's , sacrifice. Morah stands for De- f votion. Devotion to high and no- ^ ble ideals had made America what she is today among the nations of e the earth. It was not merely the j, result of chance or acciilent that America was foremost among civilised nations; her devotedness to , j. the fundamental principles of the commonwealth had made her so. The next mountain named was! Sinai, the mountain of law. What,' America needed totlay was u rena- (| iasance of taw and the inculcation

of greater respect for the law. Nebo, the mount of Vision, was next named by Dr. Johnson. The war had revolutionised our ideals ' and henceforth America must think in world-terms. Calvary, the mount of Sacrifice followed, said the speaker. The ; | highest order of life in all ages and i i among all peoples was the sacri- j ficial life — a life spent for others. Caivary however, inevitably led . to Olivet, the mount of Ascension. | Victory followed sacrifice. The ( road to Olivet with its triumphs led past the place of the cross. f At the close of his' impressive ( address. Dr. Johnson was accorded j a rising vote of thanks by his de- ( lighted and appreciative auditors. , James S. Murphy, Division Manager of the Pennsylvania System, ^ was present at the luncheon and at the request of the chair, explained of the arrangements being made to convey representatives from this section of the state to the Kiwanis Convention tobe held May 25th in Atlanta. The local club decided to send two o rial delegates to the convention, naming Dr. M. B. Stannard and K. W. Edwards. Russell II. Nulty and George W. Reed, were appointed as alternates Among the guests at the luncheon , W. Elmer Brown, Jr., associated with the Atlantic City dub, was accorded an ovation.

LOCAL GUARDS AND POLICE TESTIFY SUMMONED .TO APPEAR BEFORE FEDERAL GRAND JURY IN NEWARK Echoes of the sensational capture of the reputed rum runner, . the Coflcuc, here in the early, morning of February 2nd, were heard when Edward G. Seaman and George Myers, two members of the local police department, together with several members of the United States Coast Guards, of Station No. 126, were summoned to testify before the Federal Grand Jury in Newark. The Coficue is alleged to have had on board a cargo of liquors to the value of 175,000. The bout was captured by Police Officers and Guards, while attempting to land Ute cargo in the vicinity of Corson's Inlet. The members of the Guards who appeared before the Grand Jury were: Boatswain Richard Sutton and Surf men GaakUl, Holdzkom Turner and Andrews. Ultimately the Coficue was taken and moored in the lagoon where it now lies under an armed guard. Thus far no instructions have been leeeived concerning its disposal from United States Marshal James Muhlerhan of the District of New Jersey. It is generally understood however that the boat will be taken to . the navy yard at Philadelphia, where together with other ramrunners it will be sold under the hammer. SOLD HOTEL Information comes to hand that Morris Sellers has sold the Berkeley Hotel. The popular hostelry on the "beach front commands a large patronage during the season, many persons preferring that section of the community than any other. j The sale was ma<ie to the Rev.! John H. Mains, of Philadelphia, with riparian rights. The possibility exists that Mrs. Sellers will continue to conduct the hotel during the coming season. j I

That Fall, 5,000 home-owners who had ordered radiator warmth with Arcola were disappointed. Why? Because they waited until Fall to place their orders. This year three times as many homes are being built as in 1921. Yet no more Akcolas can be produced this year than in 1921 because our factories are already over-taxed with orders for larger Ideal Boilers. Arcola is radiator and boiler in one— different from any others. It is connected with a genuine American Radiator in each room. Warm bed-rooms! Breakfast in a warm dining room! Protection for the children from colds and grippe ! The 5,000 home-owners who were disappointed in 1921 are i 5,000 reasons why you should let your Heating Contractor give ' you an estimate now.
