1 ~ Delegation of the Young J Men's Progressive League Journey To Hear Dr. Yard ; FORMER PAS1TOR OF LOCAL METHODIST CHURCH TAKEN BY SURPRISE AND DEEI'LY MOVED BY THE TOKEN OF FRIENDSHIP ON THE PART OF THE LEAGUE

E The Rev. George W. Yard, for-, fWierly pastor of the First Metho•llet Epi.-copal Church In this city, V Was certainly surprised when on -Sunday eyenlng a large delegation J 4>f t lie Young Men's Progressive, } .ja-agne, marched in a body into the ■Mpentml M. E. Church, Atlantic! ' While a resident pastor in Ocean ; [pCily.VJr. Yard succeeded in win- ' ring nr himself a warm and se- | cure place in the affections of the members of the League. A fre4(oent attendant at the meetings -hiring the winter season, ready at nil times to render what service he could, his removal to another charge served only to strengtlien ■the ties. LE pr. Yard removed to Audubon, J.al was never forgotten. As soon Lias it became known that he had, at • j he last meeting of the Conference, : licrn appointed to the pastorate of « church in Atlantic City, steps were taken to pay him a fraternal ' ' A special car was chartered for , ! the occa.-ion, and n large number, , !• came to pay honor to an old friend. , 1! It was evident that Dr. Yard jjUpoke under the influence of deep;' emotion, when thanking the mem- j , ' ; lers of the League for the com-], ) liment their presence paid him. .Addressing his congregation, he •ie tailed briefly the nature of the . J.eaguo and what it had accomplished for Ocean City. He spoke ».f the warm friendship he had always cherished for the league and nf the presentation the members! pave him when he left the city. | i The usnal service was preceded l.y a delightful song service, dor- 1 i:,g which Dr. Yard demonstrated | Lis peculiar gift as a song leader. '1 he choir gave a finished rendering tof Shelly's dramatic musical setting, to the word "Hark! Hark, My blSuul," while Miss Nora Lucia Rit-1 or, soloist and. director, rendered " « delightful interpretation of Ter-.t ''ess Del Riego's famous song "Oh > j Dry Those Tears." Tim subject of Dr. Yard's dis-jt course was, "How Can We Best e IServe the Hotels." Presumably £ ■ the subject was suggested by thej Hotel Convention, held in that city o during the earlier part of the week fi ! It transpired that the speaker r Mil sent a large number of letters; 4 to various hotel proprietors, invit- , I •ing suggestions from them, how c ' the church could best serve them. ^ I , Tlic replies were various and, | suggestive. As. Dr. Yard state. I, r i co-operation between the churches ic and the hotels in a resort could 1 1. possibly lead to great good. Atlantic City entertained each year in ten millions of visitors. Daily it jit received 300,000 persons at the reheight of the season. t One hotel proprietor replied that ( v the church should be a moral force, e behind every agency in the com- t munity, making for a purer and u j .1 cleaner city. As Dr. Yard stated, f it would never be possible to rid r uny city, however small, of all sin 1 and vice. Nevertheless, the church I could very materially help the po- i lice authorities in fcrretting out c The dens of vice and at all times lend them the incentive ami inspir- e ation of approval, in their efforts 1 to eradicate vice. ' \ Christian people, could make it £ either easier or harder for the au- i " thorilies to do their duty. More could be done by boosting , than by criticising, said Dr. Yard.ji Criticism has its service If it is i \ constructive. Instead of wholesale ' . criticism however, the wiser policy I would I* to bring maters to the I man in authority. If he will not i act, the remedy lies in the ballot- ( bo;.. The community is to blame if it allows men to attain office, • who are unfit and unworthy to fill, ibc office. Another communication contained the suggestion, that the church should be a medium of education in civic duty and obligation, while another suggested the church ' ndght preach greater courtesy in1

rv the common affair^of life. >-' Christianity should never l>e t y, ; used as an excuse for arrogance ; -• inland impoliteness. Finally it was 1 n i suggested that the church should ! ' e I advertise more extensively than it I le j did in all hotels. Dr. Y'ard stated j i ic that the Central Church of which I I he was pastor would follow the n j suggestion to the utmost of their | i- ; ability. I While the list may not be com- t e 1 plete, the following persons were , ( i- j among those who attended the scrs vice: CapL A. R. Smtih, John E. t Trout, Dr. J. Thornley Hughes, e | Walter E.

BEWARE OF WILD-CAT : STOCK PROMOTERS , WHO ARE BUSY AGAIN 1 POSTMASTER GENERAL NEW ANNOUNCES STARTLING IN- , CREASE IN OUTGOING MAIL FROM TEXAS ! Washington, D. C., April 25. — I "Beware of the intensive drive of the fake oil stock promoters to sell i stock in worthless companies" is the silent wariiing which tomes! to light in postal returns, announc- . ed by Postmaster-General Harry New. No better barometer of a return j of prosperity can be hail than the figures which show that outgoing 'mail from Fort Worth, Texas, is 48 per cent heavier than last year. ( New ascribes the increased postal business to oil stock j ■ literature. J Slick promoters in Texas are I now breaking all records in the '.creation and distribution of worth- | oil stocks. It is a fact that the boom in mails from the sauthem oil fields: | is not due to startling new oil ilisj coveries. Instead — it is to the reof prosperity, and that the .wild-cat promoter knows the wage I and small investor can be tempted into a "flyer" after sudj.len wealth when money is plenti- , ful. The common people had no i to invest in 1322 — but they; got plenty of it this year, i ; promoters do not waste postwhen returns fail to bring in checks. The warning here is to the in- ■ experienced investor. Do not spend hard-earned money for worthless oil stock — np matter how "legal" . and "substantial" the company may • ■ represent itself to be. Theoretically the Federal gov- ; ernmcnt can stop these fukc ph>- . ; mnters from using the mail to <lci fraud, hut it doesnt work out." t are easy to prosecute, hut: ! to convict — for the reason : that most of the promoters are old t ; timers at the game, and their lit- - erature is worded to evade every ' b point of prosecution covered by the !, | law."' It is almost impossible to 11 ' show the circle whereby the money jgets hack "to the promoter who - ; spent it. b Forty states have their own n | "Blue-Sky" laws, hut these are ; e toothless against the flood of h j worthless securities from outside n ■ states, sold and shipped in through

MASTER BUILDERS' ASSOCIATION DINE AT STRAND HOTEL ', ( i iNTEM PLATING ERECTION , < i OF < i:\TRAL OFFICES FOR 1 THE ASSOCIATION*' I The strand Hotel on Monday , everting, liecame the meeting place ( ".for an organization, which per-;, , haps more than any other, is re-, , - fiOnaible for the future progress i, 'J of this resort—' The Ocean City L Master Builders' Association.

Several matters "f -upTeme imI potiance to the craft, came under j ennsideratinn ami discussion. Thrulout the proceeding.-, it was very evident that the members of the ! association, while obviously deeply concerned with their private inter - •,e-ts as master builders, were also, ei|u:illy as anxious that all things ' done, would l>e for the l>enefit and- | the future growth of the city. ! It transpired that the Master I Builders' Association is contemp- ' | luting establishing offices for the > ; body in s> »iP convenient part of the city. j Tlie consensus of opinion was to' : I the effect that such offices would jbe an asset to the community, and-i-a great convenience, to the public. i| The public there could obtain ex1 j pert counsel upon all matters nppertaining to building construction • j and consult with builders in peril miliar to the unitiated. i The suggestion which met with . general approval seemed to lie, ; that of erecting a small building • ! for the purpose, upon some conI t rally located plot of ground. ionial style, bearing the insignia ■ and name; of the Master Builder.-' ■ !
