Relchsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and other officials of the Nazi party attended the rites, with Vom Rath receiving a martyr's funeral. He was killed by a young Jew In the German Embassy In Paris last week.

The death touched off wave of anti-Semltlo violent in Germany. Von Rlbbentrop vowed the- fight against International Jewry would be unremitting, while State Secretary Wilhelm Bohle referred to Vom Rath as "the eighth, Victim of the Jewish-Bolshevist lust for murder" and asserted: "The shots fired at Davos, Barcelona and Par-Is had but one aim Germany, the-third Reich.

The ministers stated they "especially deplore the poisoning of our American life with anti-Semitism" and "we deplore and look with horror upon the recent edict of the German Government which has resulted in a merciless persecution of many men and women, boys and girls, of Semitic origin." President Roosevelt's denunciatory statement of Nazi excesses is upheld by the Ministerium which, in a series of resolutions, recommends that Sunday, November 20, "be set aside as a time for public prayer" for all oppressed persons throughout tne world.

Rev. Joseph Pignaticllo. pastoi of the Memorial Presbyterian Church and president of the Vine' land Ministerium, presided at the meeting. The resolutions, signed by Mr. Pignatiello and the Rev.

JO' seph MacCarroll pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, who served- as chairman of the resolU' tions committee, are as follows: Resolutions Adopted "In these abnormal times there are determined efforts being made by forces which are seeking to en. gender class hatreds, to array nation against nation and race against race. As a result, there has been an increase of group antagonisms and a revival of group hatreds. The United States of America from the first has sought, and with a considerable measure of success, to give hospitality to people of all classes, nationalities and races and to make social usefulness rather than race or national Catholics In U.

Roosevelt's denun ciation of their Government's wialitv.

How can any one think ill of the German people when they are prevented from reading any articles or nihpr than suits the purposes ot tne mzi government? Even the fellows who cruised in the cars and smashed and plundered are primarily not to blame for their misdeeds. They are creatures of a system that breeds their worst nature, even as the American way of government breeds man 3 best nature. Men of eood will are great ly heartened by the solidity of American public opinion against all those who vllliiy and tillaee in the name of racial uplift. Thev are making their opinion felt around the world, even as the opinion of the farmers at Lexington was heard 'round the world. If the German Gov ernment did not fear Algeri an opinion, Goebbels would permit his puppet newspapers to publish that opinion.

But the Commissar of Public En lightenment wants no such enlightenment as President Roosevelt's cutting denunciation of Nazi cruelty and thievery. The American way will not permit such tactics to flourish in a free land. If men of all faiths would rally at any and all times against relig ious persecution anywhere and at all times, despots would be less inclined to use such tactics in furthering their aims. As much emphasis should be placed on religious or racial persecution in Russia, Italy, Spain and Mexico as it is ih Germany. It is entirely possible that Italy and Germany were encouraged to em-hark on their senseless program of limitation of rights by the success that attended dictators in Russia and Spain, pey might have been deterred from their course if they knew at the outset that the civilized world wan de termined to oppose any such imcies in every way short of force.

In Mexico, likewise, he added, the long persecution of Catholics met with "the persistent silence of our newspapers and our singular indifference as a neighboring people."

(Adv) On Wednesday evening, November 30, the 'Men's Brotherhood of the First Presbyterian Church will give an historical sketch enacting some of the beginnings of the local church. This is an integral part of the week's program celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the establishment of the First Presbyterian Church. The play is entitled "A Church Is Born" and was written by the pastor. Rev. Joseph MacCarroll, after an examination of many early records.

The first act revives the scene of July 7th, 1863, when the church was officially organized by the Fourth Presbytery of Philadelphia in the school house where the Grove House now stands. It is particularly significant' to bote that Vineland's pioneers were determined to establish homes, build churches, engage in business, and go about the normal pursuits of life despite the ravagesf the Civil War. I The second act goes back to 1865 when the first church building was dedicated by the Rev. Dr. Ezra Adams, then professor at Lincoln University, an Institution of higher learning for men of the negro race.
