Dr. James H. Ecob
Is Painter and Preacher
Splendid Oil Painting Entitled “No
vember Afternoon in Salt Marshec
of Long Island,’* by Dr. Ecob, He
Has Presented to South Congre
gational Parish
An oil painting by Dr. James H.
Ecob may be seen in the window of
the r.ew Ellinwood house furnishing
establishment. The canvas is 25x30
and the theme. "November After
noon in the Salt Marshes of Long
Island.” Dr. Ecob has presented
the picture to the members of the
South Congregational parish and it
is to be hung in the chapel of the
church.
The autumn coloring of the salt
marshes holds a fascination for all
lovers of Nature and the canvas
gives the rich, tawney hues of the
salt meadows. A group of pines
adds a note of strength to the color
scheme. The perspective is un
usually successful. One discerning
critic exclaimed. "I can see at least
25 miies." The sky is attractive in
color, cloud-form and perspective.
Painting has for many years been
Dr. Ecob’s avocation. Though only
an amateur, his work compares
favorably with that of professional
artists. He Is poet, pointer and
preacher.

MISSIONARY IN INDIA
WRITES INTERESTINGLY
OF WORK AND COUNTRY
Miss Mary Nichols, who for two
summers was engaged by the ?.Iaine
I Children’s Home Society and who is
; now located at Satribari, Gauhati,
Assam. India, as a Baptist missioVi
, ary. writes to her friends at the state
j office of the Society in this city con
cerning her wort: and her impres
sions of the country.
A young man of Ir.dia desiring a
wife, writes as follows to the super
intendent of the Day ar.d Night
school, A. B. Mission Compound,
; Gauhati; ' Sir. I beg most obedient
: humbly pray to your honor to submit
I the following few lines for your kind
i consideration and favorable order.
| That I am a Baptist Christian man
. who was widowed in the village
1 Kampaduli m District Kami up. I am
! serving as a overseer of Boko Depot.

| Kachar: girls, if no, then please let
me know among- tnc- Garo girls. I
am very glad this ir.f■ rmation from
you, without any further delay and
am expecting for your kind favour
early calling to see the matter
whether Kachan or Garo. I was
very glad and exceedingly attending
to be marriage one of trie girls of
your school. If you wiM he kindly
allow me to marriage and shall be
highly greatful oblige your kind
favour.” Miss Nichols says "We get
offers for our girls, but this is the
most original one that we have ever
received. The girl that this man
wanted we would not give at that
time so he has married a girl who
finished her middle vernacular last
year. He heard about our girls from
a man who works in the same place
and married one of our girls last
year, and wrote Miss Homes, ‘1 am
very happy with the wife that thou
gavest me.” One of our girls is very
popular and as she has a fine car
riage and is rather good looking she
has had four offers /or marriage but
until she changes her life and get3 a ;
sweeter disposition we will not give ;
her to any one. She is a. mission girl i
so of course we have the say as to ;
whom she shall marry.”
In the same compound with Miss ;
Nichols is Er. Whitter, whose daugh- ,
ter married James Perry, the Colby I
man. who was massacred by the j
Turks. Mr. Perry was a Camden boy
and well known.

THE STORY OF
TOM SKEYHILL
There are many lecturers, but only
one Tom Skeyhill. Of him the late
Theodore Roosevelt said: "I am
prouder to be on the platform with
Tom Skeyhill than with any other
man living. He is the greatest sol
dier speaker in the world.”
So impressed was President Wil
son with .Skeyhill's matchless elo
quence that at the conclusion of one
of his speeches, the President arose
and saiuted the young orator.
At the age of eighteen, Tom Skey
hiil was an unknown country lad in
a small village in Australia. When
war broke out. he promptly enlisted,
traveled 15,000 miles to the battle
f.elds of Europe, fought on four bat
tle fronts through the bloodiest
struggle of the war. was twice des
perately wounded and was invalided
home blind and helpless.
As a soldier he had more hair
breadth escapes from death and has
undergone mare thrilling experien
ces than th» most notorious charac
ters in fiction.
SkevhiU's unquenchable spirit
would not allow him to keep still.
He literally fired Australia with the
torch of his impassioned eloquence,
and his success was sensational.
Coming to America to speak in the
interests of the war loans, he fairly
ripped New York up the back, night
after night packing the famous Car
regie Hall from Poor to ceiling.
Since then he has spoken in all the
big cities packing the largest audi
toriums. He has been featured as a
star of stars with Wilson, Taft.
Roosevelt and other prominent
speakers. After coming to this coun
try his sight was miraculously re
stored by American surgeons.
Tom Skeyhill saw the war as a ‘
poet. He saw its grandeur, its won- i
der, its beauty and its awe. but not!
its horror, and never is his story j

OF INTEREST TO
OUR BIRD LOVERS
Freeman F. Burr of this city, a bird
lover, hands the Journal the follow
ing, saying: ‘To many in this neigh
borhood who are interested in the
birds, the following notes compiled
by K. H. Forbush. state ornithologist
of Massachusetts, under date of
March 13, may offer some encourage
ment since the conditions as regard
ing birds are about the s<jne in that
state as in 3Iaine:”
“There have been signs of bird mi
gration from Florida to Eastport,
Maine, but in the Middle States the
spring movement is regarded as
about two weeks behind time. If
spring birds seem scarce, let not the
watcher be discouraged. From
South Carolina to New Jersey the
birds are coming. Many bluebirds
have already left the south and are
now in the middle states. In Mary
land cn the 11th jur.eos were re
ported in great flocks, bluebirds were
more abundant locally than at any
time in the observer’s experience:
fox sparrows were seen in small
flocks, tree sparrows and song spar
rows* were very abundant, red
winged blackbirds were moving
north in large flocks at great
heights: purple grackles had ap
peared and a few Canada geese were
flying northward. On the same day
fox sparrows, grackles and red
winged blackbirds arrived in large
numbers on the coast of northern
New Jersey. Some of these birds
may be in New England now.”
Snow at Keyes Landing

Captain Pernette showshoed to the
camp and walked right over the snow
onto the piazza which is about fire feet,
higher than the front lawn. His launch •
Alcedo II has a peaked roof over it and 1
he can just walk under the eaves of this i
roof. The snow on the east aide was i
even with the eaves and presented an i
unbroken slope from the hill on which;
the Diplock cottage stands to the lake
shore. Some of the small launches are
completely burled in snow and there is
no more sign of the fleet of rowboats re

shore each side of the camp than if
