Pastor Proves That Man Cannot Live to Himself; Cites Attempts That no man can live to himself was proved by Dr.

Nehemiah Boynton, of Newton Centre, as he spoke before students of Rutgers University yesterday morning in Kirkpatrick Chapel. "It is impossible to live to yourself," Dr. Boynton said. "No one can do it. If he could, he would be the first person on this terrestrial sphere to perform such a feat and his skeleton would be placed in a glass case in our most famous museum where it would become the most visited exhibit there," The Massachusetts preacher pointed out that it has been tried, however, and he enumerated numerout instances of such attempts.

He cited the case of the author and editor who is making an attempt to live by himself in the woods of Nova Scotia. According to Rev. Boynton, the man has conceded that he could not live alone very long and that he is coming back. to civilization about Christmas. He also took spear with him which was made by the help of civilization, and, when he began his experiment, he had to make negotiations with the government of the country in which he intended to wander as a primitive man.

This man's case it was stated, is one of the many in which men have unsuccessfully tried to prove for validity himself of the and the slogan, "devil "Every take "the hindermost." "What are we to do if we cannot live alone?" he asked; and then answered, "We must fight." Rev. not conflict with the stand of paciBoynton said du that his statement did fists. "We all hope," he declared, "to see the day when fighting with arms will cease, forever, but that it will be a bad world when spiritual fight ends." "Fight for what?" was the next question. The pastor answered, "We must fight for the best." For an illustration of the ideal kind of fighting, the visiting preacher turned to football. He told how, in his experience, he had seen a coach calmly prepare a substatute to go into the game, pat him on the back and say "Keep your head!" "What did he mean?" Dr.

Boynton asked. "He meant that the player was not to play the game for himself but for 'otherness' -that he was to be willing to subtract himself and make an addition to the game. To play for himself would not be playing for the best." Hell a Reality Says Evangelist; People Are Conscious After Death Declaring that she believed hell is a reality and that people are conscious after death, Miss Amy Main, girl preacher and singing evangelist, made a strong appeal to the unconverted at the special service held at St. James Methodist Church last night. This service closed the second Sunday of the campaign she and Miss Ethel Everts, song leader, are conducting at church.

Services will be held nightly this week except Saturday, next Sunday closing the campaign. Four went forward last night. In answering the questions "Is there a hereafter? Shall we be conscious after death?" the topic of her evening discourse, Miss Main based her conclusion on the Bible. References to hell may not be to a literal hell-fire in the minds of some, she declared, but she took the Bible just as it reads. "If reference is not to a literal hell it is to something worse," declared Miss Main, "for a tormented spirit must be worse than burning of the body.

A soul never dies. It must spend eternity in heaven or hell. God never sent a soul to hell. He wants all men to be saved. 'Ye must be born "The reason why the churches are empty is because people take the truth about hell too lightly.

The indifference is appalling. The fact that some scholarly men do not believe in hell does -not nullify the fact. People of Noah's time did not believe there would be a flood, but there was. Some scholarly are scholarly beyond their In emphatically declaring believed people are conscious after death, Miss Main said the parable of Lazarus and the rich man answered this question. She said Lazarus was conscious in heaven and the rich man knew Lazarus was conscious, for he sought to have Abraham to send him to cool him in the flame of torment.

Lazarus had attended to his soul's salvation, but the rich man's prayers came too late. "Be Filled With the Spirit" was the theme of the morning sermon. need of the hour, Miss Main declared, was Holy Ghost power, It was one thing led by the spirit to seek conversion, and another thing to filled with the spirit which was necessary to become a powerful Christian. There were too many Lot's wives standing around in the churches today, cold, indifferent and ornamental. They needed to be filled with the spirit.

One could not stand still. He must go forward with God or slip back.

O. P. LIKELY TO ARRANGE PROGRAM FOR 1930 TOMORROW (Continued from page one) important early summer primaryperhaps moved back to May- on their hands, the Republican leaders will likely want the Legislature out of the way as soon as possible. Both Governor Larson and the Republican majority must dispose of the recommendations which have been made toward the re-organizatio of certain state departments, pecially the those and relating to research finance, firm by auditing hired to make a study of the state government. The state audit was one of Governor Larson's ideas and advocated in his inaugural address last January.

The recommendations of the concern which made the survey were recently published and were of a sweeping character in what they recommended. It remains to be determined how many of them are out. Governor Larson will probably take up the matter in his annual message to the new Legislature when convenes early in January. Important Recommendations Such ideas as the stripping of the State Comptroller of all his duties except that of auditing the state finances, abolishing the State House Commission, which consists of the State Comptroller, elimination of Governor, State, Treasurer and the the Civil Service Commission and the State Budget Commission were all parts of the recommendations on reorganization of the state government. It is expected that the joint committee of Senate and Assembly members will talk about this survey when they meet here tomorrow morning in the office of the Senate President at 11 o'clock.

Election law changes are expected to be recommended in the port which will be filed in the near future by the commission of which Senator Wolber, of Essex, is the head. Two of the most important thoughts before this body are the adoption of voting machines for New Jersey and the changing of the primary election from June either forward to May or backward in the year to the former date in September. There is a rumor too that the Hudson and Essex county election bureaus may be wiped out, or reorganized next winter. This will be a factional move upon the part of the Republicans backing Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow for United States Senator, if it happens.

The bureaus are now in the control friends of Former Senator Joseph Sis Frelinghuysen. John Ferguson the head of the Hudson bureau and Abraham Rachlin has charge in Essex. Ferguson is a known supporter of Frelinghuysen and Rachlin is a lieutenant of Republican County Chairman Jesse R. Salmon, of Essex, the former Senator's chief lieutenant in the primary campaign now opening.

TAX RECORDS WILL BE OPEN THURSDAY FOR INSPECTION Assessors Edward J.

Gleason, Edward Banker and Samuel Cohen have completed their assessment of properties situated in New Brunswick for 1930 and on Thursday, they will open the tax duplicates for public inspection. The increase in the tax assessments approximates $500,000 and represents new work started since taxing period and a few adjustments. The assessors have refrained for the first time in several years in "jacking up" old assessments. books will be opened for inspection from 2 until 5 o'clock and from 7 until 9 o'clock. Property owners who desire to learn the amount of their assessments are invited to call at the City Hall between the hours mentioned.

The three assessors will be at the City Hall during these hours, They will meet the property owners in the conference room of the City Commissioners on the second floor of the building. While the assessments will show no increase, this does not necessarily mean that the taxes for 1930 will be any lower for the opposite will in all probability be true. There is every indication that the State will show an increase of about fifteen points which represents $1.50 per $1,000 assessed valuation.
