The so-called "Second City" may eventually become the next state, after frustration regarding Chicago's influence over politics in Illinois. A group of state Republican lawmakers recently signed on to legislation proposing the nation's third-largest city become the 51st state. "It's more of a frustration of the policies than the true belief that Chicago and Illinois would be better off as separate states," Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer told the State Journal-Register. "I don't believe that Chicago and the state of Illinois should be separated. Our relationship is mutually beneficial." CHICAGO IS MOST CORRUPT BIG CITY, ILLINOIS THIRD MOST CORRUPT STATE IN COUNTRY, STUDY FINDS Davidsmeyer said he co-sponsored the legislation to spark a discussion about how the city's politics impact rural residents in downstate Illinois. "The reality is the city of Chicago is competing with New York City and L.A. and San Francisco, and (downstate is) competing against rural Indiana and rural Missouri," he told the State Journal-Register. "The policies that come down from Chicago are actually pushing our economic opportunity away." A central Illinois lawmaker is sponsoring legislation proposing the separation of Chicago from Illinois to spark discussion about the overarching influence of the city in state politics. (AP) Forming a new state from a portion of a current state requires endorsement from Congress and the state legislature, according to the U.S. Constitution. The bill, HR0101, was introduced in February by state Rep. Brad Halbrook, who said he supports removing the city of 2.7 million people from Illinois because of differing views on issues such as abortion and gun rights. "Our traditional family values seem to be under attack at every angle," Halbrook told the Journal-Register. "We are trying to drive the discussion to get people at the table to say these are not our values down here." Part of the bill states that: "Numerous counties in the southern and central parts of Illinois are approving resolutions to become sanctuary counties for gun owners, while the City of Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country." Halbrook co-sponsored a similar resolution filed last year that failed. This year's attempt has even less of a chance of succeeding and getting out of the Rules Committee in the Democratic-controlled legislature as Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the leaders of the state House and Senate are all Democrats from Chicago. "When you have a large population center that seems to control the agenda for the rest of the state, it just kind of creates some issues," he told the paper. CHICAGO REDUCES MURDER RATE IN 2018, BUT LEVEL STILL OUTSTRIPS LA AND NY COMBINED A report in February from the University of Illinois at Chicago found that Chicago was still the top in the ranking of the most corrupt big cities in the nation and Illinois the third most corrupt state in the nation. An Illinois lawmaker says that Chicago needs to recognize how its policies impact rural residents of the state. (iStock) The tension between urban and rural areas isn't exclusive to Illinois. The same has occurred in New York and California, according to a paper published last year by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University. CLICK HERE FOR THE FOX NEWS APP John Jackson, a visiting professor at the institute and co-author of the paper, told the Journal-Register it was odd that the resentment has persisted in Illinois, but many politicians from southern and central parts of the state often "run against Chicago." "We ought to have leaders who get together and coalesce for the good of the state," he told the paper. Davidsmeyer said since the resolution has been introduced, it's spurred a greater discussion about how big an influence Chicago politics has over Illinois. "People say Chicago's a huge economy, there's no way you can survive without them, (but) I have people on the other side saying Chicago's killing us with their policies, we need to separate," he said. "I'm one of the people in the middle saying let's see both sides of it." The Associated Press contributed to this report.


The Telegraph, Calcutta, is one of the few newspapers in the country with a fully functional science correspondent, ferreting out readable stories from an otherwise arcane world.
In today's paper, G.S. Mudur throws light on the travails of yakshagana singers.
Researchers at the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing in Mysore and Manipal University report that yakshagana artistes face the most voice problems because of long hours of singing at a very high pitch, without adequate training on voice modulation.
So, the next time you hear Narendra Modi and Amit Shah scream and shout, think of the unsung, unheralded folk artistes on Karnataka west coast.

Voicing concerns for the Bhaagavatharu – that's nice!
Wonder how the singers of yore would cope, since Yakshagana was originally performed for longer hours.

SocialShare.com: Found on Pinterest: If not now, when?
It is common to procrastinate different tasks in our lives. Whether it is homework, housework, paperwork, or even odd and end jobs, we often push tasks back to a later time. But if we don't just do it now, when will we?
Procrastination is a dangerous addiction. Once you do it, you become hooked and it becomes easy to push tasks farther and farther back. If you don't just sit down and accomplish the task, you may never finish it. Don't waste time. Sit down, get it done and experience feelings of satisfaction. Now that is a wonderful feeling.

Cambridge University Press reaches major Open Access agreement in Germany
Cambridge University Press has reached a major Open Access agreement with the Bavarian State Library (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, BSB) on behalf of higher education and research institutions across Germany.
The three-year 'read and publish' agreement has been concluded with the German academic library consortium, which represents research universities, universities of applied sciences, non-university research institutions and academic libraries.
The agreement was negotiated and coordinated by BSB with financial support from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).
Read and publish agreements pay for an institution to access a publisher's journals and also cover the Article Processing Charges authors from that institution would normally pay to publish their work Open Access with that publisher.
Authors from institutions affiliated to the consortium can publish publicly-financed research articles in the Press's hybrid journals. In addition, consortium members will have full access to their choice out of four prestigious collections of Cambridge University Press journals, depending on the institution.
It follows a ground-breaking read and publish agreement between the Press and the Bibsam consortium of Swedish higher education and research institutions in November. A similar agreement was struck with the UKB consortium of Dutch university libraries in May 2017.
Chris Bennett, Global Sales Director (Academic Publishing) at the Press, said: 'This agreement is the latest in a series of read and publish deals to establish Open Access publishing in Cambridge journals for publicly-financed research articles. Together, they clearly demonstrate our determination to be at the forefront of building a sustainable, responsible transition to full Open Access on behalf of our authors, their institutions and those who fund them.'
Hildegard Schäffler, Head of Serials and Licensing at BSB, said: "We are delighted that we have been able to work with Cambridge University Press on the successful conversion of our long-standing consortium for Cambridge Journals into an innovative read and publish agreement and thus make an important contribution to the process of transition to full Open Access."
Mandy Hill, Managing Director of Academic Publishing at the Press, said: 'This and other recent agreements are part and parcel of our long-term commitment to Open Research – making scholarly publishing more accessible, while ensuring sustainability and quality for the academic community.'

Q: Best way to build json object from two querys and a joining table I'm currently working on a small webservice in node for managing the commands in a restaurant. I'm using Express.js
in my database i got theese tables :
DISH(id,name)
COMMAND(id,table,status)
COMMAND_DISH(idCommand,idDish,quantity)

I would like to know if there is a way to build a JSON object like this for each command :
[
  {
    "idCommand": 1,
    "table": 21,
    "dishes": {
      "dish1": {
        "dishName1": "salad",
        "quantity": 2
      },
      "dish2": {
        "dishName1": "steak",
        "quantity": 2
      }
    }
  }
]

Knowing that my queries return rows like this
Command :
id table status
1    3    sent
2    4    sent
3    5    sent

Command_dish :
idCommand idDish quantity
    1       2       2
    1       3       2
    2       2       4
    2       1       1
    2       3       5

Dish :
id name
1  salad
2  steak
3  pasta
4  pizza

What i can't figure out here is how can i construct the json object when i got several commandId from command_dish
EDIT : So far this is how i try to build the data but i'm not sure about the query inside the query, is it doable ?
app.get("/commandes", function(req, res, next) {
var restaurant = req.query.restaurant;
connection.connect();
var tableauCommande= new Object();
connection.query('SELECT * FROM COMMANDE WHERE restaurant=?',restaurant,function(err, rows, fields) {
    if (err) throw err;
    for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
        var tableauResult = new Object();
        tableauResult["idCommande"]=rows[i].id;
        tableauResult["table"]=rows[i].taable;
        var tableauPlats = new Object();
        connection.query('SELECT P.label, C.quantite FROM PLAT AS P, COMMANDE_PLAT AS C WHERE C.plat=P.id AND C.commande=?',rows[i].id,function(err, rows, fields) {
            if (err) throw err;
            for (var j = 0; j < rows.length; j++) {
                tableauPlats[rows[j].label]=rows[j].quantite;
            }
            tableauResult["plats"]=JSON.stringify(tableauPlats);
            JSON.stringify(tableauResult);
        });
        tableauCommande[rows[i].id]=JSON.stringify(tableauResult);
    }
});
});

EDIT2 : I changed the code to this :
app.get("/commandes", function(req, res, next) {
var restaurant = req.query.restaurant;
var tableauResult= new Object();
connection.connect();
connection.query('SELECT * FROM COMMANDE WHERE restaurant=?',restaurant,function(err, rows, fields) {
    if (err) throw err;
    for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
        var tableauCommande = new Object();
        tableauCommande["table"]=rows[i].taable;
        tableauResult[rows[i].id]=tableauCommande;
    }
});
connection.end();
console.log(tableauResult);
for (var key in tableauResult) {
    var tableauPlats = new Object();
    connection.connect();
    connection.query('SELECT P.label, C.quantite FROM PLAT AS P, COMMANDE_PLAT AS C WHERE C.plat=P.id AND C.commande=?',key,function(err, rows, fields) {
        if (err) throw err;
        for (var j = 0; j < rows.length; j++) {
            tableauPlats[rows[j].label]=rows[j].quantite;
        }
        tableauResult[key]["plats"]=tableauPlats;
    });
    connection.end();
}
    console.log(tableauResult);
});

it seems more stable but i'm getting a "Cannot enqueue Query after invoking quit" error. I don't understand since i manage the connections properly

A: If anyone is interested i managed to build the json object like this
app.get("/commandes", function(req, res, next) {
var restaurant = req.query.restaurant;
var tableauResult= new Object();
connection.connect();
connection.query('SELECT CP.commande, C.taable, C.status, P.label, CP.quantite FROM PLAT AS P, COMMANDE AS C, COMMANDE_PLAT AS CP WHERE CP.plat=P.id AND C.id=CP.commande AND C.restaurant=?',restaurant,function(err, rows, fields) {
    if (err) throw err;
    for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
        if(rows[i].commande in tableauResult){
            tableauResult[rows[i].commande]["plats"][rows[i].label]=rows[i].quantite;
        }else{
            var tableauCommande = new Object();
            tableauCommande["table"]=rows[i].taable;
            tableauCommande["status"]=rows[i].status;
            var tableauPlats = new Object();
            tableauPlats[rows[i].label]=rows[i].quantite;
            tableauCommande["plats"]=tableauPlats;
            tableauResult[rows[i].commande]=tableauCommande;
        }
    }
    res.json(tableauResult);
});
connection.end();
});

what was tricky is that it seems that mysql node package don't like two queries even if you open and close the connection properly so i loaded everything in one single query and i had to sort the results myself.

Cub Scout Pack 218 holds Blue and Gold and Pinewood Derby
Exeter Scouts pose with their Pinewood derby cars and their awards
Trystan Brandt with his symbolic arrow of light, his parents, Roger and Diane Brandt and Akela, the medicine man and the drummer.
Exeter Cub Scout Pack 218 held their annual Blue and Gold Banquet, Sunday, February 28th. A very special ceremony was held at 5 p.m. conducted by the Golden Sun Lodge of the Order of the Arrow. Trystan Brandt of rural Milligan was presented with his Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouting.
Trystan, the son of Roger and Diane Brandt, was also recognized for completing all 20 of the Webelos Activity pins. A reception, hosted by his parents was held immediately following the ceremony.
The flags were presented by the pack at 6:00 p.m. with a prayer led by Peytan Brandt prior to sharing in a potluck meal. District Representative Phil Hallisey presented a brief program on the Friends of Scouting program. After some clean up the scouts presented a skit honoring the 100th birthday of scouting in the United States.
All seven boys in the pack achieved their rank this year. The only Tiger Cub, Jackson Beethe, received his Bobcat and Tiger badge, Peytan Brandt and Johnny Babula both received their Bear Badge, Eric Olsen, Travis Gilliam and Joey Bartu all received the rank of Webelos. Joey also received the Joyful Servant religious award. Trystan Brandt received his arrow of light patch (which is the only rank badge that Cub Scouts can wear on a Boy Scout uniform), along with the all 20 activity badge.
Next the group moved on to the pinewood derby. Each year Stanley Rhodes generously brings his track and his crew. This year Robert Rhodes and Lance Larsen were his crew. These men also judge the cars for the show portion of the evening.
Each boy races each other twice with the boys switching lanes on the second race. This year's race was a tight one with Exeter-Milligan fourth grade teacher, Susan Wait as the end judge. In a run off Peytan Brandt narrowly defeated Eric Olsen to take first, Eric took second and Trystan Brandt won third place int he race. Cars are divided into two categories for the show division - stock and modified. Joey Bartu earned first place in the stock show category with Eric Olsen in second and Johnny Babula in third. In the modified division Peytan Brandt took first and Trystan Brandt took second. Cubmaster's awards for best first cars went to Jackson Beethe in first and Travis Gilliam in second.
The boys posed for pictures with their medals and cars and then led the closing flag ceremony.

Why 5 Fair & Equal Districts
Map of the 5 Districts
People of Fair & Equal Whatcom
Fair & Equal Whatcom
Fair representation for all Whatcom County.
Approve Proposition 9
Five fair and equal districts for all of Whatcom County!
5 Fair and Equal Districts
5 Fair and Equal districts is the fairest way to ensure that all voters in Whatcom County have an equal voice. In our current 3 districts, each district contains part of Bellingham. We need a system where rural residents can elect representatives who understand rural issues and city residents can elect representatives who understand urban issues.
This proposal is silent on district-only or county-wide voting in November. Regardless of how we vote, we need fair representation in our districts.
Once voters decide they want 5 districts then a redistricting committee will be formed. They will meet and determine the final boundaries and ensure that districts are compact and do not divide communities. This is what state law provides.
Find out more about the proposed map
The trouble with District-only voting (proposition 1)
You will only be able to vote for 3 of the 7 county councilmembers. Today with countywide voting, you get to decide on all 7. The County Council determines land use, manages most of the land around Lake Whatcom, oversees the criminal justice system, where growth occurs and property taxes. It helps to have all 7 answerable to each voter!
Proposition 1 – district-only voting – is so poorly designed that it may even be illegal under Washington law. District lines are not allowed to divide communities, but the current three districts do just that, gerrymandering our county so that the voices of some will be drowned out, while others are given an unfair level of influence. If we are going to vote by district, we need a new set of districts that are set up fairly and legally.
The proposal for District-only voting isn't about representation; it's about politics. An extreme Tea Party faction didn't like the outcome of the last election so now they want to change the rules we've used for decades to get a different result.
One of the Charter Review Commissioners even admitted in an email that the reason for District-only voting was to permit the coal terminal at Cherry Point! Regardless of your position on the terminal, it doesn't make sense for the coal industry to rig our local elections. We will all lose under that scenario.
We tried District-only voting 10 years ago. After one election the voters decided to return to countywide voting in November.

Why 3 districts no longer fit Whatcom County
Whatcom County has doubled in size since we adopted our charter. It's time for our districts to grow too.
State law requires that districts be as compact as possible and not divide communities of interest. Our current districts – long pie shapes that divide Bellingham into thirds – could not be LESS compact. New districts that are a better fit for our geography make a lot of sense.
The current District-Only proposal with just 3 districts is unfair to rural county residents. All 3 districts include parts of Bellingham, which means that all rural voters will have to compete with Bellingham voters in every County Council election. Rural voters deserve voting districts that don't include Bellingham, so that they have their own representatives.
The current 3 districts are a relic of our commissioner system that we left behind in the 1970s because it led to pork barrel politics. All other charter counties in Washington have from 5 to 9 districts so that each community gets its own voice.
Why Five Districts?

Writing a dissertation is a long and drawn out process. There's so much work that needs to go into it, and it takes a good chunk of time to complete it. Sometimes, you're going to feel like you can't finish it, or that your work isn't good enough. Well, don't worry too much. Follow these handy tips to keep your writing sharp.
Say what you need to say. No more, no less. Don't add in extra words to fill your word count. Don't waffle. Just say it, and move on.
Try not to get yourself confused. If you're confused, your writing will be confusing and your readers will find themselves flummoxed. Make sure you know what you're trying to say before you put it to paper. Don't get carried away writing it down when you have the thought. Flesh it out. Double check everything and then, only then, start your writing.
Some writing isn't in and of itself bad, but if you don't reference your work it's pretty useless to you and it might even land you in some hot water if they think you're plagiarizing. So cite often and make sure you're not accidently getting yourself in trouble. On top of that, a good citation proves you're not just making this stuff up. If you can cite someone who agrees with you it shows both that you're on the right track and you're not alone.
We well-placed adverb can work wonders. In case you're wondering, an adverb is anything that ends in –ly. They describe a very. So, for instance: he walked quickly. Here, the word 'quickly' is an adverb. And it's fine, but a much stronger verb would be: he jogged, he ran, and he sprinted. Often, an adverb can be replaced with a stronger verb, which more directly tackles what you're trying to say. Of course, not all adverbs are bad, but too many clutters up the page, so prune them out.
Good writing is merely better editing. Don't rely on your first draft to pull you through. Don't even rely on your second, or third. Put your drafts through the works until you can't even recognize it and you're sick of looking at it.


IMPORTANT NOTE: The price shown only valid if ordered with a guitar.
With an arch top and an arch back and our custom-ordered reinforcements by TKL, this This case is the ultimate protection for your guitar.
This case is designed specifically to be an exact fit for Alhambra classical guitars, but it is superb for all standard size classical guitars from any brand.
We at XGuitars worked with TKL to build a case based on the popular TKL 9100, but that is much more protective of your guitar. It is officially designated the TKL B4166/BL. In addition to the double arch, it features substantially augmented padding to protect the top and the back of the guitar, as shown in the photographs. To compensate for this padding, the case is deeper than the standard TKL 8800 or 9100. Not only does this protect the top and back of the guitar, but it adds protection for the corners of the guitar by moving them away from the corners of the case.
Whether your case may be dropped on a corner, dropped flat, or subjected to some sort of crushing force, this case will give your guitar a much better chance of survival. This case also features a cushioned handle, for increased comfort.

NORTH BAPTIST CHURCH
North Baptist
Southeast Corner of 2nd & Pearl Streets
Illustration Published
The North Baptist Church was organized on November 15, 1859. The church had been in existence as a mission school for four or five years already. The church building at 2nd and Pearl Streets was dedicated on February 25, 1865, and the church on Linden Street below 4th was first used for public worship on May 29, 1894.
During the 1870s, school enrollment in Camden increased rapidly and the Board of education was constantly looking to purchase more land. The 1871-1872 school year began with 4,588 pupils on the register, but the average daily attendance was only 2,762 pupils. The North Baptist Church offered to rent its building to the board for a primary school, provided the Church could use the facility for Sabbath school purposes. The board declined the offer since the rules prohibited using the schools for any other purpose, but secular education. Instead, they purchased three parcels of land. One on Third Street, between Pearl and Elm Streets; a second, on Mount Vernon Street, above Broadway; and a third, at the northeast corner of Third and Walnut Streets.
The church building at 2nd & Pearl Street was sold to the newly-organized Calvary Presbyterian Church, a split from the old First Presbyterian Church, in the summer of 1895, for $18,000. Calvary Presbyterian Church occupied this site until June of 1924, when the building was acquired for use in the construction of the Delaware River Bridge, later renamed as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. This building is still in use as a church today.
2nd & Pearl Street
The building was then the home of the Faith Baptist Church.
The following is derived from
George Reeser Prowell's
History of Camden County, New Jersey
By Rev. W. T. Burns
In 1855 Rev. E. V. Glover and Mrs. H. P. Hale, members of the First Baptist Church of Camden, began a series of meetings in private houses remote from the church, designed for the benefit of infirm and indifferent members who seldom enjoyed the services of the church. In the search for a suitable place for holding meetings in the vicinity of Coopers Point, a large population was found destitute of both religious and secular instruction. In 1856 an attempt to establish a Sunday school failed for want of a suitable room. In 1857, a large hall in the silk factory on the northwest corner of Front Street and Pearl was offered gratuitously by the proprietor, German Foss, in which to hold a Sunday school. September 7, 1859, an organization was effected by choosing Rev. E. V. Glover, superintendent; Adam Angell, assistant; Henry Samuel, secretary and librarian ; Mrs. H. P. Hale, superintendent of the infant department. The following were appointed teachers: Joseph Whitman, Mrs. Louisa Hindle, Mrs. Anna Briggs, Miss Louisa Woolston, Mrs. H. Foss and Miss Addie McCully. The school began with eighty-eight scholars. It continued to meet in the silk-factory until January 1859, when it was transferred to the factory of E. W. Williamson, corner of Second Street and Birch, where it was held until July 31, 1859. The influence of the school made itself manifest and the number of members rapidly increased.
An equally important factor in the new enterprise was the meeting for adults begun on Sunday, October 18, 1857, and continued, on Sunday at the hall and on Tuesday at the residence of Mr. Ellis, on Birch Street, until the removal to the building of Mr. Williamson.
The need of larger and permanent quarters had now become so pressing that on January 26, 1859, the First Baptist Church appointed Key. E. V. Glover, J.D. Tustin and J S. Collings to take proper steps to procure a suitable house. Elwood K. Fortiner was afterwards added to the number, and aided greatly in the erection of the new building, which was situated on Elm Street, below Second, and was dedicated July 31, 1859. On the 10th of November 1859, at the house of Rev. E. V. Glover, a meeting was held, of which Rev. E. V. Glover was chairman and J. D. Tustin clerk, for churches held November 29th, and the services in recognition of the new church were conducted at the First Baptist Church by Revs. G.Q. Ferguson, E. D. Fendall, J. E. Wilson, F. T. Cailhopper and J. Hyatt Smith.
The names of thirty-seven members thus recognized as the North Baptist Church of Camden are these:

Of these original thirty-seven, six are still members. The church began its history with a small body, but with a live root; and this living root, planted in a favorable place, soon showed a vigorous growth. On December 2, 1859, Rev. E. S. James, D.D., was called to the pastorate, began January 1,1860, and continued till the last Sunday in 1863, when the church, having decided on the erection of a larger meeting house, and Dr. James feeling his strength unequal to the extra labor involved, resigned, and on January 12, 1864, Rev. S.C. Dare, previously pastor of the church at Cureton, N. J., was chosen. During this pastorate the present church edifice, corner of Second Street and Pearl, was built at a cost of about thirty-five thousand dollars and the church was largely prospered in spiritual as well as in temporal matters. Mr. Dare resigned February 16, 1868, and on March 23, 1868. Rev. A.G. Thomas, pastor of the church at Mount Holly, was unanimously elected to the pastorate. His administration continued until December 25, 1870, when, in consequence of a serious affection of the throat, he resigned. Rev. J. E. Chambles, of Baltimore, was called to become pastor March 8, 1871. He began his work the 1st of April ensuing and continued until May 1, 1873. On July 9, 1873, a call was extended to Rev. E.G. Moses, lately of Plymouth, England. During this pastorate, which continued for eight years, one hundred and sixty-eight were added to the church,' a new mission building was built at a cost of four thousand dollars and large improvements were made in the meetinghouse. This pastorate ended with the year 1881.
April 4, 1882, a call was extended to Rev. A.E. Rose, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bradford, Pa. Mr. Rose began his pastorate April 9, 1882. The membership of the church was increased by an addition of one hundred and sixty — one hundred and twenty-four by baptism, thirty-five by letter and one by experience. A new organ, costing two thousand dollars, was placed in the gallery. Mr. Rose resigned his pastorate, to take effect August 5, 1883.
On December 10, 1883, a call was extended to Rev. W. T. Burns, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lynn, Mass., which was accepted, and Mr. Burns began his pastorate February 1, 1884. During this pastorate one hundred and sixty-eight have been added to the church. Of these, one hundred and ten have joined by baptism, forty-five by letter, twelve by experience and one by restoration. An addition has been made to the property of a building for the primary department, costing three thousand dollars; a church library of two thousand volumes, costing about two thousand dollars, and involving alterations costing one thousand dollars more, has been added. A library-sustaining fund of five hundred dollars a year, for five years to come, has (1886) been subscribed.
The enlarged accommodations furnished the Sunday school by the building of the annex for the primary department, have been taken up by the growth of the school, the average attendance for May, 1886, showing an advance of twenty-one percent over that of May, 1885. The growth of the school is largely due to the energy and faithful personal attention to its work of the superintendent, F. Wayland Ayer, seconded by a faithful and well-disciplined corps of teachers. In December 1885, letters were granted to fifty-three members of this church for the purpose of uniting to organize the Linden Baptist Church, to be situated at the corner of Ninth Street and Linden. Notwithstanding this large subtraction from the roll of the church, the vacant places have been very rapidly filled. .
Additional Noted by Phillip Cohen
A new church building at 317 Linden Street was first used for public worship on May 29, 1894. The Calvary Presbyterian Church purchased the old church building in the summer of 1895 for $18,000. The North Baptist Church on Linden Street was quite active in Camden for many years, until declining membership forced its closing. By the early 1970s the property had been acquired by Rutgers University's Camden campus, which used the building for a few years. By the mid 1970s the church and all other buildings on the block had been razed to make way for expansion of the college's operations.
One Hundredth
One Hundred Years In His House
WHAT was Camden like a century ago when North Baptist Church took its place in the life of our city? "A pleasant, though lusty town" is the answer. Incorporated in 1828, it was also the County Seat and in 1859 was divided into three Wards, North, Middle and South.
Some Camden "firsts" were:
1852-first gas lamps lighted
1853-Camden City Medical Society formed
1854-first train running from Cooper's Point to Atlantic City
1857-first Building and Loan Association, "South Ward"
1858-first newspaper, "Camden Dailey"
1860-first weekly newspaper, "West Jersey Press"
From 1852 to 1857, well known churches were organized, but November 1859 is the important date for us, when North Church began the wonderful work for the people of North Camden that has continued for one hundred years even until today.
"Except the Lord build the house they labour in vain that build it." Psalms 127: 1.
The first years of North Church coincided with the rising clouds of the Civil War that overshadowed the whole nation, as well as Camden. The panic of 1857 had its disastrous effect on the community too.
The ferries played a very important part in the early development of our city. For many years our city was called Cooper's Ferries or The Ferries. All the early settlers built their homes near the ferry at Cooper's Point. Later a ferry at Kaighn's Point was established.
Mrs. Harriet Hale
In 1855, Mr. E. V. Glover and Mrs. Harriet P. Hale, members of First Baptist Church, commenced a series of Tuesday evening meetings in private residences, remote from their place of worship, for the benefit of infirm and indifferent members who seldom enjoyed this means of grace, and in 1857, the gratuitous use of a spacious hall in what was then called the "Silk Factory" became the meeting place of the new Sunday School, which commenced with 88 members. In January 1859, the School moved to the corner of Second and Birch Streets. Subsequently a lot on Elm Street below Second was purchased and a chapel was erected, which was opened with dedicatory services on July 31, 1859. On November 10, 1859, a meeting was held for the purpose of adopting measures for organizing a
Baptist Church, the name "North Baptist Church" was adopted, and on November 22nd, at a public service of recognition, thirteen churches approved the new organization.
From the diary of our first minister, R. S. James, we have a historical sketch of the early days of North Church.
"Upon the 9th of October, 1859, I preached for the first time in the little chapel on Elm Street which had been erected and previously dedicated." (He assumed the pastoral office on January 1, 1860.)
"During the time I administered to North Church I never had to send for an evangelist to carry on a revival- it was a revival all the time, and that instrumentally through the earnest cooperation of the membership."
"The church visited the baptismal waters ten times during the first years of its existence. At the first of these, January 29, 1860, I baptized David T. Stackhouse and his wife, Amos Ireland, his wife, and Hannah M. Sharp. We went to the Delaware River eight times in 1861. In all I baptized seventy-seven"
My work at the North Church ended with a Watch Night meeting on December 31, 1863."
The second pastor, Rev. Samuel C. Dare of Canton, N. J., began his term of service January 24, 1864, and preached his farewell sermon February 14, 1868. During his pastorate the church edifice at the corner of Second and Pearl Streets (now occupied by the Faith Baptist Church) was erected at a cost of $31,108.01. On February 28, 1865, the chapel or Sunday School room was dedicated and a year later, February 18, 1566, the church proper was dedicated.
Arthur G. Thomas, D.D., of Mount Holly, N. J., the third pastor began his ministry with the church May 3, 1868, and resigned December 25, 1870. During his pastorate the membership was largely increased but the church was burdened with a heavy debt. On May 4, 1869, the N. J. Baptist State Convention met in North Church for the first time and the same year, upon application for assistance, gave the
church $100. On September 24, 1869, Mr. N. W. Ayer and family became members of the church. He was elected to the Board of Trustees two months later, subsequently made Deacon, and laboured steadily and successfully to build up the church and decrease its indebtedness.
Rev. Joseph E. Chambliss, of Baltimore served as pastor from April 1, 1871, to May 1, 1873. During his pastorate the floating debt of the church was paid, and the envelope system of collection was adopted. In 1873 Mr. F. W. Ayer was elected a Trustee, taking the place of his father who died that year.
Rev. Robert G. Moses, of Falmouth, England, served as pastor from September 7, 1873, to December 31, 1881. During the pastorate of Mr. Moses the building for the Linden Mission School was erected at a cost of about $4000.00 and many improvements were made in the edifice of the church.
Rev. Moses was followed by Rev. Alfred E. Rose, of Bradford, Pa., on April 9, 1882, who served until August 5, 1883. During his pastorate one hundred and forty-nine members were added to the church; a pipe organ was placed in the church building at a cost of $2000.00 and a monthly magazine was published by the church which was subsequently known as THE NORTH CHURCH BULLETIN.
Rev. William T. Burns, of Lynn, Mass., succeeded to the pastorate February 3, 1884, and resigned April 8, 1887. During the ministry of Mr. Burns the membership largely increased; the church library was established with two thousand volumes and an annual sustaining fund of $500.00 was pledged. A Library Board of Control with Mr. Clayton W. Nichols as chairman was appointed to direct the library. A Library Day was appointed for entertainment and the receipt of contributions, which was celebrated for sixty years.
A building was erected for the primary department of the Sunday School at a cost of $3000.000. The Linden Baptist Church, formerly a mission, was organized with fifty-three members from the North Church during the pastorate of Mr. Burns.
In December 1886 the North Church appointed a committee to take steps to select a site, prepare plans, procure estimates, and to suggest methods for the raising of funds for a larger and more convenient church building. On November 20, 1888, the Board of Trustees united with this committee and others to form the Building Alliance. On the same day $23,380.00 was subscribed for the new building. Mr. Thomas Lonsdale of Philadelphia was elected as architect and Mr. John C. Rodgers, a member of the church, as builder. The Building Alliance was supplemented by the Women's Alliance, which pledged and paid $3000.00 towards the building.
Rev. B. F. McGee, of Charleston, W. Va., became pastor of the church December 13,1887, and resigned October 31, 1889. During his pastorate efforts to select a site and to secure subscriptions for the new building were continued.
Albert G. Lawson, D.D., of Boston, Mass., began his services as pastor March 1, 1891, after supplying the pulpit for nine months previously. The membership numbered 364 and Sunday School, 612. During the years Dr. Lawson was with North Church, the present edifice on Linden below Fourth was erected at a cost of $65,000.00, and opened for service January 21, 1895; the membership increased; a large volunteer choir under the leadership of Prof. James C. Warhurst was established; he was active in the community working for prison reforms and temperance (a Temperance Service was held in our auditorium on September 27, 1891, with 505
attending); he was foremost in securing the organization of the American Educational Society in 1888; was helpful in Y. M. C. A. work. It was said of him that he was not bounded by denominational lines or doctrinal bonds. He resigned March 31, 1902, after serving twelve years, longer than any other minister, and to those of the congregation who were privileged to know him, his memory is still fresh, shining and beloved.
Dr. J. Fittredge Wheeler, of Chicago, Il1., became supply pastor on September 13, 1903, and pastor on June 12, 1904. His pastorate was highly successful-large numbers were added to the church and on one occasion, April 17, 1904, seventy-one were received into the church.
The church maintained a high degree of efficiency; the· gaalleries were extended, organ enlarged and choruses established for the: free musical instruction of boys and girls, B.Y.P.D. grew in numbers and influence, an ushers' association and athletic association were formed among the young men, the
Women's Missionary Society worked successfully for Home and Foreign Missions. In conjunction with First Baptist Church, North Church assumed the support of Rev. Joseph Taylor, missionary to China. An "Old Home Day" was made a feature of the church work.
Dr. Wheeler's resignation became effective September 30, 1909.
Homer J. Vosburgh served the church from January 1911 to July 31, 1920. Dr. Vosburgh was much interested in young people, being primarily an educator. The Sunday School was one of the largest in the state and loomed so important that the development of a strong church membership suffered. This fired Dr. Vosburgh's aim to inspire and arouse interest in the spiritual realm and also the intellectua1.
Dr. Vosburgh was interested in all of his members and did a lot of calling en them. His sermons were thought-provoking, stimulating and long.
While he was pastor, in 1917, Mr. Ayer presented as a memorial to his wife, Rhandena Gilman Ayer, an organ which was said to be the finest in South Jersey. It was unique because it really was four organs combined into one. It was controlled by electric shutters.
On July 11, 1920, one of our young men, Willard F. Johnson, was licensed by the church to preach.
Having served the church, Dr. Vosburgh left in 1920 for Watertown, N. Y., and after that pastorate, returned to us for a few months as interim pastor. There are a few of us who still are grateful for his abiding interest and influence on our lives.
James Dalton Morrison, born in Ontario, Canada, was called to the pastorate of our church where he served with distinction for six and one-half years, from June 5, 1921, to November 17, 1927. A graduate of McMaster University, which conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon him in 1940, he had also received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from Rochester Theological Seminary, now Colgate Rochester Divinity School.
North Baptist Church, during Mr. Morrison's ministry, experienced a time of change. With the coming of the Delaware River (now Benjamin Franklin) Bridge, many families moved from the city to the suburbs. In February 1923 Mr. F. Wayland Ayer
died. The sanctuary was changed in 1927, when new pews were dedicated on March 13th. We quote from service of dedication:
"The renovated and redecorated auditorium of the church and the beautiful pews, are the gift of Mrs. Anna Ayer Fry, in memory of her father.
"The memorial pulpit, pulpit furniture, communion table, deacons' benches and the acousticon are the gift of members of the church, school and congregation."
Mr. Morrison brought a dedication to his Master that resulted in growth in this time of change. On Easter 1925, 22 were baptized and 32 welcomed into fellowship. On other occasions, 21 more were baptized. He loved poetry and many will recall his use of quotations in his sermons. He developed a special interest in preaching and worship and compiled and edited "The Minister's Service Book," a manual of worship for use of pastors. "Masterpiece of Religious Verse," 2020 poems by 900 poets, was edited by Mr. Morrison and published by Harper & Brothers in 1948.
Who can measure the influence of a life of service dedicated to the Master, and we at North who had the privilege of the friendship and ministry of James D. Morrison, are enriched. He served the Lord and his church well.
On Bailey's Island off the coast of Maine is a simple marker:
GEORGE FERGUSON FINNIE
He lies where he loved to vacation in a simple village among a hardy, some may say, an austere people.
Dr. Finnie came to this country from Glasgow, Scotland. He was educated at Doane Academy, Denison University and Newton Theological Seminary. He held a Doctor of Divinity degree from Bates College and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
Dr. Finnie's message was always a virile one, appealing especially to the
laymen of the church. Under his teaching, the Northmen class became a very strong men's group. Annual Watch Night services started with a social period and as New Year approached were most inspiring. Social activities and dramatic presentations were promoted by the Northmen's class and other groups during this period-some original music was written by Mr. D. T. Stackhouse for the glee club. In addition to pastoral duties, many calls were made on Dr. Finnie for counsel and assistance and he gave of his resources and strength without stint. He loved books and the Library received his earnest support. Wednesday prayer services promoted under the theme "Come ye ourselves apart and rest awhile" added much to the spiritual life of the church.
During his pastorate accessions to our church were 95 by baptism, 20 by letter and 5 by experience. He served our church from March 3, 1929, to November 1935.
Dr. Walter Scott Dunlop began his ministry at North Baptist Church as interim pastor in February 1936 and became pastor June 7, 1936. He was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Crozer Theological Seminary and a Vice-president of the American Baptist Publication Society. At that time our church membership was 550.
At the annual meeting in 1937, among Dr. Dunlop's remarks was one to the effect that North Church was rated the greatest missionary church in New jersey, and he urged us to keep in mind that our
supreme effort must be the winning of souls- the outstanding business of the church is restoring the consciousness in the hearts of men and women of the love of God.
Dr. Dunlop was very popular with our young people and endeared himself to them. In his three years here, fifty-nine were added to our church roll, and a special reception was held for these new members.
In 1938 a new console for the organ was presented by Mrs. Fry in memory of her husband, Wilfred W. Fry, making our organ rank as one of the best in this part of the state.
Our records state "our appreciation of his fine Christian character, his whole-hearted devotion to the work of our Master and the interest of our church ... his counsel was kindly, his example courageous. He gave freely of his services to members of the church and the community in need of counsel, help or comfort." His countenance reflected his deep spiritual nature. His pastorate closed February 26, 1939.
Rev. H. O. Wyatt was the 15th pastor of North Church, arriving July 1, 1939, and remaining until January 31, 1944. Ninety persons joined our church during this pastorage, 64 by baptism, 22 by letter and 4 by experience.
Rev. Wyatt was at North during the Second World War and was kept extremely busy. Evening services each Sunday and Mid-week Prayer services were held; many pastoral visits were made; outside demands were great. He served on many committees- China Relief, U.S.A., Red Cross, Russian Relief, Community Chest, War Bond Sales and many others.
Our church was a beehive of activity too- with many church functions; Boy and Girl Scout Troops, the Woodpeckers (opened to young boy of the neighborhood); World Wide Guild and a large, well
organized Young Peoples group. A dramatic group was formed and most capably coached and directed by Mrs. Wyatt.
Rev. Wyatt left to assume duties in the New Jersey Baptist Convention. Clayton L. Williams, a student at Crozer Theological Seminary, first came to North Church to assist Dr. H. O. Wyatt. He was called to the task of organizing and implementing a weekday program to meet community needs. North Church licensed him to preach and perform other pastoral duties.
When Dr. Wyatt resigned, Mr. Williams continued as interim pastor and on June 1, 1944, became pastor. Mr. Williams' vision of Christ ministering to boys and girls was translated into activities which brought hundreds of children into our church in varied weekday programs, i.e., Boy and Girl Scout Troops, Cub and Brownie Packs, Woodpeckers, Junior Choir, all flourished. The Happy Hour added its joyous note on Friday evenings and had came well known and loved by the children, who called him the "Happy Hour Man." A board of Christian Education supervised and staffed the above activities. Mr. Williams was also a member of the Board of Managers of the Camden Christian Center.
When he resigned to become field representative of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the Courier-Post on December 4, 1949, displayed a picture captioned "Youngsters Bid Farewell to Camden Pastor."
Rev. L. Paul Bowling, our 17th pastor. assumed his duties in September of 1950 and served 11 months, leaving on August 31, 1951, to become Youth Director with the Convention.
Our membership increased by 29 during this pastorate- 23 by baptism, 5 by letter and 1 by experience. A class of 15 was baptized on March 25th and a procession of these receiving the Right Hand of Fellowship on Palm Sunday marched around the sanctuary waving palm fronds.
Rev. Fred E. Young was called to North Church in October 1952 and assumed his duties November 2, 1952. Everyone present at the first Prayer Service came away aware of the warmth of this family. He made over 900 calls the first year and over 1000 the second. In his first annual report he said "To know our people and to become acquainted with their needs and aspirations will necessitate my calling in your home." A familiar figure along the streets of North Camden, persons from all walks of life came to know and call him "friend." Twenty joined our church through the ordinance of baptism, 8 by letter and 1 by experience.
Rev. Young participated in many phases of our Camden Baptist Association, as well as civic obligations; took part in annual Thanksgiving and Good Friday services, also Sunrise service (Easter) in Collingswood; conducted vesper and communion services at Lakeland Hospital; was Camp Counsellor at Lebanon and Unami for two week periods; taught Old Testament at Baptist Institute and Crozer Seminary, serving there as Visiting Professor. During his pastorate he received his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Dropsie College. He instituted "Homecoming Sunday" at North.
Dr. Young was a master of languages, being able to read and speak many tongues. In May 1955 Dr. Young left to join the faculty of Central Baptist Seminary in Kansas.
Although many prominent figures in Camden's civic life have contributed greatly to the development of the church, without the "nameless saints," the "many unknown" who came year after year, there could have been no North Baptist Church.
It is difficult to write history while we are in the process of living it.
To you, our present minister, Richard C. Snoad, on the occasion of our 100th anniversary, we pledge our loyal and earnest support. We all sincerely hope that you will help us to preserve this rich and fruitful heritage of North Baptist Church in the years ahead. Mr. Snoad began his ministry on July 1, 1956.
We express our appreciation and thanks to all who have contributed to these historical sketches.

Choral Group of Organ Club Has New Name
Singers Form 'Musical Art Society' According to Plans Made at Founding
The Choral Association of the Camden Chapter, National Association of Organists, has become a separate organization. From now on it will be known as the Musical Art Society
The group, at its start here, was sponsored by the Camden Chapter with an aim to establish it as a separate group as soon as a successful working basis was reached.
Patronage has been forthcoming which has assured the society of a place in the musical activities of the community. The plan is to develop a sound choral group, capable of producing serious choral works in artistic manner.
The society's membership list is still open. Voices, both male and female, are needed. Singers with ability at reading are especially urged to make themselves known. Applications, under the new society's plan, should be sent to Edna M. Llewellyn, Fourth Avenue and Kings Highway, Haddon Heights.
Rehearsal will continue at the First Baptist Church here on the first, second and third Mondays of every month.
Present patrons are Wilfred W. Fry, Mrs. Fry, Charles K. Haddon, Mrs. Walter J. Staats, Hon. E.G.C. Bleakly, Mrs. Elwood A. Harrar, Mrs. F. Morse Archer, A. Wilbur Nash, Dr. Edward M. Sullivan, J. Walter Levering, Dr. Joseph E. Roberts, William G. Moore, Mrs. Mary L. Neer, Mrs. J. Harry Knerr, Mrs. Ada M. Eckenhoff, Mrs. Charles A. Reynolds, and Joseph D. Brisby.
The former choral association will retain its officers under the new title of the Musical Art Society, with the exception of the post of secretary. Miss Llewellyn will replace Walter M. Smith temporarily.
The officers are: Henry S. Fry, director; Miss Llewellyn, treasurer; Ada M. Eckenhoff, librarian; Robert M. Haley, president; Marion V. Taylor, Evelyn Lawrence, Stanley Nelson, Harry W. Schwartz, Marjorie Riggins Seybold, F. Marie Wesbroom-Dager and Howard S. Tussey, executive board.
The society will present at least two public concerts in the spring, one in April at the North Baptist Church and the spring concert, which has been tentatively scheduled for May and will probably take place in the First Baptist Church.

80th Anniversary of North Baptist Sunday School Service
1857-"A GREAT SCHOOL MARCHES ON"-1937
Through eighty years of sacrificial service the North Baptist Sunday School has been sending out into all parts of this and other lands, lives that here have been consecrated to the noblest cause on earth.
The day of its beginnings was small. Like the Captain in whose name it has labored, the North Church School was born amid humble surroundings. In an upper room in a silk factory which belonged to Mr. German Foss, on the northwest corner of Front and Pearl Streets, the organization of the School was effected on September 7,1857. Mr. E. V. Glover, a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Camden, was chosen Superintendent. Three other officers were elected, one of whom was Mrs. H. P. Hale, who had an important place in the establishment of the North School and Church. Eighty-eight scholars were inscribed on the rolls, together with the names of six who devoted themselves to the task of teaching.
After sixteen months of work and service in the silk factory room, the School was moved to a carpenter's shop located at Second and Birch Streets. There the interest grew, and on July 31, 1859, before the School had reached its second anniversary, a frame building on the north side of Elm Street below Second was dedicated at a cost of about $2500. For some time in the new building the School met in two sessions: the one at 9 :30 A. M., the other at 2 P. M. The morning session was soon discontinued, and until Oct. 3, 1923, the classes met regularly in the afternoon.
After five years of service in the little frame Church the School moved to a new and beautiful place of worship, which was erected on the corner of Second and Pearl Streets at a cost of about $35,000. For thirty-one years in the Pearl Street property the work was carried on under the leadership of the most consecrated men and women a Sunday School could ever know. The crowded condition of a vigorous organization made it necessary to think in terms of larger quarters. The outcome was the erection of the present Church building which was first occupied on January 21, 1895; and here since that date "a great school marches on."
F.W. Ayer
The history of Christian achieve-
ment is the history of sacrificing, and devoted lives. To know something of the names of those who served the North School as Superintendents is to understand the reason for the success of its work. The School has had altogether seven Superintendents. Mr. F. Wayland Ayer, who was elected July 1st, 1869, served for over fifty years. Beloved and honored by un- numbered men and women, boys and girls, whose lives God had touched through the ministry of this faithful leader, Mr. Ayer holds still a unique place in the life and affections of the School. Mr. Oscar C. Molan, for some time Superintendent, later through the years associated with Mr. Ayer in the work as Principal, is another example of the quality of leadership enjoyed.
Mr. Molan organized and taught Hope Bible Class, one of the oldest organized Bible Classes in the State, for more than fifty years.
Wilfred W. Fry
Charles E. Glendening
On March 22, 1923, Mr. W. W. Fry became Superintendent and from then until July 27, 1936, when the Master of all good workmen called him to higher service, Mr. Fry gave the best of those high qualities of heart and soul, with which the Heavenly Father had endowed him, to the promotion of the cause of Christ through this School.
Affiliated with Mr. Fry were the present Superintendent, Mr. Charles E. Glendening and his associate Mr. George A. Silver, Jr., both of whom are carrying forward the work in the spirit of a great tradition.
Mrs. Wilfred W. Fry, recently elected to the position of Honorary Superintendent of the School and to membership on the Executive Committee, is Director and Superintendent of our well-organized Children's Division. To the work among the children, Mrs. Fry has given many years of consecrated service.
The names of those serving the North School in other capacities have been and are likewise men and women of rare devotion. There have been five secretaries throughout our history. The man who now serves in this office, Mr. S. T. Corliss, has for over thirtysix years devoted to his task, business ability of a high order as well as heartfelt consecration.
Eight have held the office of treasurer since 1857. Some of these are known and beloved by the School of today. We honor such names as Mr. Nelson C. Denney, Mr. John W. Glendening, Miss Minerva C. Stackhouse. Length of years has been given to our present treasurer, Mr. F. Wayland Potter, who for almost a quarter of a century has given his best to this important work.
When the earthly chapter of the North School's history has been completed, other names-some remembered, many forgotten-will share in the glory of a task well done.
"In the name of our God will we set up our banners."
