ESSEX FELLS
"The Race of Life,” Subject of
Interesting Sermon by the
Rev. Father Brown.
MARATHON RUN USED
FOR TIMELY ILLUSTRATION
Need of Self-Denial and Hard
Work in Training for
Goal of Religion.
The mission in Our Lady Help of
Christians Church, Bast Orange, con
ducted by the Rev. Father Brown, S
J., and the Rev. Father Jansen, S. J..
was attended last night by about 1.800
persons. Every pew was occupied,
seats were placed two rows deep near ;
the altar and In the choir loft, and the 1
assemblage overflowed into the three
aisles. It was one of the largest as
semblages ever gathered in the big
edifice. The 5 and 9 o'clock masses to
day were also attended by hundreds,
and special arrangements have been
made to accommodate the large throng
expected each night during the two
weeks the mission is in pogrers.
Besides the services in the church an
instruction will be given in the parish
hall each night. Father Brown making
the following announcement concern
ing it:
"There will bt a special course of in
struction given during the miseion for
non-Catholics. This course will be held
in the parish hall every evening at 7:30,
and will last during the entire two
weeks. It is for ail those who wish to
be prepared for reception into the,
church, or who may desire to hear a j
satisfactory explanation of the truths j
of the Catholic faith."
>Tbe Race of Life.”
The opening sermon was preached by
Father Brown, who had for his topic,
"The Race s Life." Father Brown'
took as his text the words of St. Paul I
in the first epistle to the Corinthians: I
“Brethren, know ye not that they that i
run in the race, all run indeed, but one
reeeiveth the prize? So run that you
may obtain.'' He drew attention to the
fact that St. Paul, to illustrate his
subject, used figures that are as fa- {
miliar to the people of today as they '
were to the ancient Greeks in the time
of the apostles. St. Paul, as well as
the Greeks, was fond of athletics, and
he held the attention of his listeners
by his frequent references to their
manly sports.
"It is the sutne todav.” he said.
“Americans as a people are interested
in athletics. Witness the widespread
inte.reai taken in the recent Marathon,
races,, which had their inception in
early Greece. So St. Paul's language!
appeals to us as much as it did to1
people of former days.”
Father Brown then proceeded to
develop St. Paul’s idea. He spoke of
the necessity of winning in the race for
heaven, which is just as much a race
as that for an earthly reward. He re
minded his hearers, as St. Paul did, 1
that the runner's prize is only a small,
insignificant intie in comparison with
the reward God holds out to the im- j
mortal soul. God offers the infinite,
everlasting riches of heaven—"an in
corruptible crown"—the athlete can
gain only a very limited prize—a cor
ruptible crown.
A Corruptible Croon.
"And yet for that corruptible crown
the athlete will endure severe training
and practise much self-denial: other- i
wise he would be sure of losing In the ;
trial. The severe strain of the race de
mands careful preparation and a most
well-regulated life. The athlete is will
ing to put up with all tills, because be
deelres to win. God asks of the Catho
lic the same thing, sctf-denlal and 'a !
well-ordered'life. How many look at
it In this light? How many are will
ing to forego the sinful pleasures of
this world 1o gain everlasting happi
ness in the next?”
The sermon at right was preached
by Father Jansen, who in the course of
his remarks said:
"The man possessed of great wealth '
is not entirely happy; he wants mole.
I>ld you ever see a millionaire who
would not accept $1,000 more if It
were offered him? We cannot find a
man who is completely happy. Com
plete happiness is heaven, and reach
ing that goal is no mere formality;
K requires work to -a vr your soul, for
It is an earnest business, and one tiling
needed is a firm determination.”

LINCOLN GREi :ST
MAN OF CEI JRY,
Orange Rector Contrasts His
Life With that of Glad
stone and Darwin.
EDUCATED HIMSELF WITH
LIBRARY OF THREE BOOKS
Yet Emancipator Was Most
Complete Master of Lan
guage of His Time.
In commemoration of the centennial
anniversaries of the births of Lincoln,
Darwin and Gladstone, the Rev.
Charles T. Walkley, rector of Grace
Episcopal Church, Orange, preached a
special sermon last night, in which he
contrasted the lives of the three men.
In part he said.
“Charles Darwin, William Gladstone
ind Abraham Lincoln were all born in
he year 1S09. William Gladstone, the
rreatest statesman of his day, born on
December 29, was known to the world,
tside from his statesmanship, by his
levotion to Homer and for his passion
'or the integrity of the Bible. I reeom
nend the life of William Gladstone as
in example for young men to follow.
"Great is the contrast of Darwin
with Gladstone, Darwin was born in
uxury: his lineage was of the best;
le received the best education In Edin
burgh and in Christ Church, and early
n life he became a notable scientist.
Darwin enunciated the theory of evo
ution. Evolution, as is the popular
belief, does not mean irreligion; this is
in erroneous impression. This theory
s not intended to dislodge man’s faith
n God; on the contrary, we do not
ret God’s grandeur in its fullest sense
intii we become familiar with Dar
win's two books on evolution.
"Again, the contrast between Lincoln
nd Darwin is even greater than that
f Darwin and Gladstone; bom in the
heerless wilderness of Kentucky, son
f a worthless and shiftless carpenter,
Lbraham Lincoln through sheer force
f personal will made himself, with the
elp of three books, the greatest man
if the century. Gladstone with all his
earning,iand Darwin with all his ad
antagts! could not begin to use the
Inglish language as Abraham Lincoln
ould. These three books were the
Pilgrim’s Progress,’ ‘Aesop's Fables,’
nd the Bible. Lincoln was a master
f the Bible; his speeches are replete
with scriptural allusions, and here is a
rreat point for young Americans; never
oe content to remain uneducated. Lin
coln with the most limited means be
anie the wonder of his time.”

RAILROAD BEAR
ENTIRE EXPENSE
New England Society, of Orange,
Wants Grade Crossing
Elimination Free.
Resolutions urging that the railroad'
should bear all the expense of grade
crossing elimination in the Oranges !
were adopted by the New England So
ciety of Orange at Its Saturday meet
ing. Chairman Edward K. Sumer
well introduced the resolution as fol
lows: . l
“Whereas, it is 'the duty of railroad |
companies, at their own expense, to •
construct and operate their roads with !
safety to the communities which they i
serve; pnd
“Whereas, under existing circum- !
stances in the Oranges such safe oper
ation is impossible while grade cross- j
lugs remain,
"Resolved, That the railroad com
panies serving the Oranges should be
required to eliminate all grade cross- !
ings therein at their own expense at
the earliest practicable date, and that '
such work should be so done as to be
in keeping with the character of the
localities served; and 1
“Resolved, That if, in connection with
this work, it is found expedient to un
dertake municipal betterments other
than those rendered necessary bj^rhe
work itself, the expense of such bet- i
terments should be borne by the mu- I
nicipalities/requiring same;
"Whereas, In a suburban community
the distance from a station becomes a
vital factor in the life of the commuter,
and the station fixes to a large extent
a certain business centre, anfl real es
tate values become adjusted thereto;
and
“Whereas, all the existing stations in
the Oranges have been long estab
lished, and are needed for the proper
accommodation of the public,
“Resolved, That no consolidation, j
abandonment or important change of ;
stations would be fair or justified by i
present conditions in the Oranges.” I

50 years old, a laborer, of 68 Cleveland j

This step recalls a matter of interest
to Irvingtonians, particularly to those
of olden days. It is a great many
years since there was a church of that j
denomination in old Camptown, and j
never In the history of Irvington. In
1827 the school trustees of Camptown
built a one-story brick structure in
Clinton avenue which, with its addi
tions, is now Masonic Hall. This one
story building was used as a school
house in those days. A short time later,
a second story was put upon the build
ing by the Presbyterians, to be used as
their place of worship. The building
at that time was not large, but it Is
safe to say that Its capacity was ample!
to accommodate the congregation.
Later on the members of Franklin
Lodge, F. and A. M., erected a third!
story, which, up to two years ago, j
was their meeting place. The congre- !
gation of Presbyterians Anally dwin-1
died down, or its members moved away, |
and both the first and second stories [
were used for school purposes, and the!
building became known as the Camp- j
town Academy. The slab in the frontj
of the building, bearing that inscrip-1
tion. together with the date, 1827. is still'
there. The Masons later acquired the1
title to the whole building, and while I
they have erected a large hall, -with'
lodge rooms in the rear of the old ■
building, the old structure still stands
the same as it was three-quarters of a!
century ago.

LINCOLN’S WORK
AND ITS EXAMPLE
PASTOR’S THEME
Rev. R. S. Dawson, ol Kearny,
Preaches Inspiring Cen
tennial Sermon. M
“ONE OF MASTERPIECES
OF HUMAN NATURE”
Country Elevates Itself in
Honoring the Emancipator’s
Noble Achievements.
“Abraham Lincoln” was the subject
of the Kev. R. S. Dawson’s sermon in
Knox Presbyterian Church, Kearny,
last night. Speaking from the text, “He
being dead yet speaketh,” Hebrew xi.,
4, he said in part:
"Every great artist creates a master
piece. Early or late in his career It
may come, and by it he will be best
remembered.
“Nature, too, loves a masterpiece.
At Intervals wide and far a master
piece of human nature is created as a
blessing to mankind. Such were Moses,
Socrates, Savonarola, Cromwell, Wash
ington. In this sublime and sacred
company of the nobly great Abraham
Lincoln has his place. He was the
greatest American of the nineteenth
century, and it will be long ere we shall
look upon his like again. His was one
of those rare natures that fit with pe
culiar exactness the exigencies of his
times. The man of the hour, the mas
ter of the crisis, the ruler of events, he
was the consummate flower of Ameri
can manhood in the day of the nation's
dark distress and bitter trial.
"A free, united and happy country rec
ords its gratitude in song and story, in
school and statue, In park and avenue
and city dedicated to the perpetuation
pf his name. It is altogether fitting
ind proper that we should do this. In
honoring him we ennoble ourselves. In
proportion as we study and emulate his
bright example we elevate ourselves as
citizens and as men. More than any
man of his day he realized the impor
tance of a preserved and perpetuated
Union. For this he stood more than
all else. Of far greater moment to him
Jnd to us and to the Illimitable future
was the preservation of the principle of
in indissoluble Union than even the de
struction of human chattel slavery as
an American institution. The potency of
this nation for good to its own citizens
ind to ail mankind depends upon it#
permanent unity. This was Lincoln’s
prime idea as a statesman, and for it he
stood first, last and all the time, wisely
determined to maintain it at any cost,
rhough at last he paid the price of mar
tyrdom for his fidelity' he had the joy
ous consciousness before he died of
knowing that his mighty efforts were
successful, that all his tears and sacri
fices had not been In vain, but that hiH
great life-work was nobly and supreme
ly complete.”
