CHRIST CHURCH
CHRONICLES
Baptism:—In the Chapel of th
Good Shepherd on the first Sunda;
in Advent, Mary Louisa, infan
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ott.
Mr. Ambrose M. Gordon, whosi
faithful labors at the two chapels o
the parish for many years past an
well known, has gone away, upon thi
advice of his physician, for a month':
rest. We hope that his health ma
be completely restored.
There are several adults and many
children in the parish who should be
confirmed at the visitation of th
Bishop in February. Why dela'
longer? Better get into touch wltt
the Rector upon this important matter.
Confirmation instructions wil!
begin soon after the new year.
The rector of a parish In a western
diocese, in discussing with the Sun
day School the Epistle appointed fo
the day, called the attention, of tho
children to the phrase, "stewards o
thy mysteries," and aBking what tho
'mysteries" of the Church aro, re
eclved the prompt reply, "The Sermons."
The teachers and officers fit tlio
Church School, are rai nested to meet
with the Rector for a few moments
nftor the servico to-night (Friday).
Tho greatest asset of a parish is to bo
oimd in a goodly number of dependable
men and women, It Is the Joy of
Wo pastor's heart when he finds in tho
work of tho Church men and women
upon whom ho can depend, whom he
knows ho can trust to do tho best
thing that can bo done under the cirumstanco.
With a company of
such paople ho may dare the impossible,
and wring victory out of that
which presaged only defeat.
But, on tho other hand, there la
nothing which discourages the pastor
more than to come to the conclusion
bat his people cannot be depended
upon. The cold or the heat, tho sun
or the rain, keeps them from church.
Thoy promise a certain pleco of
church work, but it Is not performed.
They aro afflicted with inertia, or
"helplessness of matter." They are
Ike the soldier who Is never ready
;o answer at roll call. No victories
:an be won with such half-hearted
mdeavors.
A word to those whose attics and
wardrobes ara bulging with old
garments that have been accumulating
or years: Winter is approaching and
;here are many poor in South Amboy
ho could make good use of those
irtlcleB of clothing, Therefore, remember
that St. Martha's Guild Is
going to have in the parish house on
next Friday afternoon and night and
Saturday afternoon and night a
Community Sale" of old clothing.
These garments will be sold to tho
>oor of the community for a merely
ominal sum. Miss Mary Reamer is
he chairman of the sale, and she
vill be assisted by the following:
Misses Hattie Christian, Mabel Letts,
Sallio Hoston and Mrs. Alfred J.
iller. Don't wait to be solicited,
nit get into touch at once with any
f the foregoing or telephone Mrs.
Harriett Wilson or Mrs, R. M. Kerr.
Do it to-day. You may forget it toorrow.
We are gald to report that Robert
Waterman, one of our faithful choir
oys, is now convalescent from a
nost severe illnoss.
An every member canvnss of the
arlsh will be launched at tho Church
in next Sunday morning, at 11.30,
ust after the cloao of tho Communion
ervice. The Rector would like about
husky fellows who aro not afraid
if a hard Job to moot with him at
hat tlmo. It is planned to have one
treat assigned to two mon (the men
.lways going In twos) and in this
ntinner, with a half dozen or at most
dozen calls for each couple, the
anvass can bo carried out quickly
.ml successfully, without having enailed
any undue hardship upon any
anvasser. Mon of tho parish, this
s a "call to the colors," and if you
re willing to render, with a little
acriflce of time and strength, a real
ervice to the parish, here's your
ipportunlty. If you cannot be pre3-
snt Sunday morning, but are willing
;o assist In the canvass, do not fail
send word to the Rector. It is
teedless to add that this animal
ivory-member canvass held in each
eeember is a critical period in the
mrochlal life. If wo fail here, we
all for tho entire year in our
nances.
At this writing the Mission Is still
progress. While the attendance
as not been as large as the Rector
lad hoped for (ranging from 100 to
00 each night), and while tangible
and immediate results ia such ser
vices are a most elusive quality, stil
we feel that on the whole the Mia
sion has been a success, and we ar<
sure that the spiritual life of th.
parish has been greatly enriched an
deepened. The Mission will close oi
Sunday night. The Rector desire:
here to express his grateful appro
ciation for the hearty co-operation o:
a goodly number who were so regu
lar in their attendance. Such peopl
are a constant source of inspiration
to the pastor.
"BUILD A ItlKD HOUSE" IS
NEW CONSERVATIVE SLOGAN
Give the boy a bird house instead
of a gun for a Christmas gift is th
advice offered to parents by William
A. Logue, of Bridgeton, a New Jersey
Fish and Gamo Commissione
who takes an active interest in the
work of bird and game conservatlo
in his state. The commissioner belioves
that conservation is largely a
matter of education, and that the bos
results come from starting the child
on the right path.'
If a young boy is given a gun 1 , ho
may take to killing all sorts of will
creatures without restriction, ox
plains Commissioner Loguo, On tho
other hand, if he is given a bird houso
and can attract wild birds to become
its 'occupants, hn develops a wholesomo
love for the Urdu, Rliidlos their
ways and lonrns tho economic Importance
of protecting them.
When a lioy biillils or Is given a
bird IIOUBO of any of the models now
narkotcd by ninny concerns and puts

ho Is taking an Important stop In
wlld-blnl protection, says tho commissioner.
Tlio boy soon learns to
watch and cure for IIIH fonllioroil

food for Ills bird frionds K a hoavy

becomes a protector, both of song
ind game birds, and will holp rid tins
community of stray cats, which nro
ho worst enemies of our birds.
Tho Now Jernoy Fish and Game
Commission has recommended a combined
celebration of Bird and Arbor
Day each Spring. In preparation for
this event, tho building of bird houses
during tho Winter months and their
erection in trees in the neighborhood,
tho commission suggests, can bo m&ic.
an interesting, profitable and educational
featuro of the work of rural,
luburban and manual training schools,
'Ural Young Men's Christian Associaions,
Boy Snouts and other boys'
nd girls' organizations throughout
he state.

SOME JOTTINGS COLLECTED
BY OUR REPORTER WHILE
GUNNING ABOUT THE CITY.
For a lesson in gracefulness we'd
refer one to one of the clerks in a
iocal drug store when he is getting
)n a moving trolley car backwards.
That when Janitors have dates on
nights, some one is sure to be more
r less inconvenienced.
iThat onoof the local ministers can
tiro mako a lot of noise with his
lands nt least.
No doubt tho councllmon were only
iarring obnoxious dust from their
ihoes in leaving the council, chamber
ho other night?
That Its getting rather chilly now
lights, which may account for the
John street crap game not lasting U3
ong as it used to?
One reason we've hoard as to why
;he bowlers didn't go to New York
ast week, was that tholr feet weren't
varm. Is that it, or is the prize
dnner mistaken?
A rumor says that in order to con-
Inuo the transaction of business of
omo kind in the City Hall after the
Irst of the year a cigar stand will
ie needed, Get it?
"That's right! Get the big gun off
Irst" said one of the clergymen at
he Y. M. C. A. the other evening in
stage whiBper. But the chairman
;ot even by introducing the "second
ij'llnder" when his turn came.
Why couldn't they have moved
hoBe polos off the sidewalk on Dordontown
avenue Instead of into the
mlddlo of it?
