CITY'S YOUNGEST COP
ALREADY ON "BEAT"
Alterations In the marriage, baptismal
and burial services of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, recommended to the Gen
eral Confcronco at Saratoga, are viewed
with diversity of opinion by clergymen
In this city. '
Leaders of religious thought who are af
filiated with other branches of the Chris
tian Church than thoso of tho Methodist
denomination generally hold that comment
upon the suggested changes would trans
gress the bounds of "professional' cour
tesy." and decline to express their views
publicly, maintaining that tho question Is
altogether ono for tho consideration and
action of the Methodist Church Itself nnd
not of concern to other creeds. Others,
however, do not hcsltae to tako tho,
ground that the Methodist Church In sug
gesting the amendments Is taking a step
which other religious bodies may follow.
In brief, the report of tho Commission
on Ilevlslon of the nttual, to which tho
matter was referred by the General Con
ference, recommended modifications In tho
marriage, baptismal and burial rituals,
eliminating nhrnsen Incornnrntnd with the
I Wesleyan Code, which tho Methodist
Church Inherited from the Church of
England In tho eighteenth century-
Tho Rev. Dr Cart B. Grnmmcr.Trcctor
of St. Stephen's 1'plRCopal Church, 10th
street below Market, Is nn upholder of
tho changes. "I have read the proposed
amendments of tho Methodist Conference,"
ho said today. "I think them all to ba
In tho right direction.

The youngest policeman In tho city is
Edward Raichelbach. Ho Is 6 years old
and lives at 1141 Oakdalo street He Is
ambitious to become a regular cop later
In life, and has started nlready to enforce
the law In tho neighborhood of 11th nnd
Cumberland streets.
Edward now has tho reculatlon uni
form nnd all tho necessities for making
prisoners submissive. There's nn nlr of
dlscllpllno about him, too, which makes
juvenllo offenders keep a respectful dis
tance Should n boy steal nn npplo from

llttlo cop gets on the Job immediately and
compels tho culprit to right matters.
Ho also koeps an eye on all strangers,
and being aware of tho fato that has bo
fallen many youngsters warns those ho
knows to accept no favors from men
who happen along In the neighborhood.
Edward Is tho nephew of Police Ser
geant Ames, of the Park and Lehigh
avenues station, who has taught him
many of the things essential to becoming
an efllclent cop.
WEDS DESPITE 'LITTLE
THING' LffiE BROKEN LEG
Baker Hurled From Auto on
Night Set for Marriage.
Ceremony Follows
Miss Elizabeth Duck, of 4603 Paul
Btreet, Frankford. Is today the bride of
William Afferbach, of Hulmevllle. Pa.,
because sho refused to allow "llttlo trifles"
like an automobile accident to the bride
groom nnd a broken leg to Interfere with
her wedding plans.
The wedding of Miss Buck nnd Afflor
bach at the bride's home in Frankford
was set for Saturday night. Miss Buck
was preparing to put on her wedding
gown nnd her parents had arranged for
the reception of guests. In tho meantime.
Afllerbach, who is a baker, was hurrying
to make his last delivery of pies and cakes
nt Hulmevllle Park, so he could go home
and dress for the wedding.
As he drove Mb automobile delivery
wagon across the trackB of tho Bucks
County Electrlo Railway Company at the
entrance of the park, a freight car struck
the automobile, smashing It, and throwing
Afllerbach out He was removed to his
home with his right leg broken In two
places.
The failure of the bridegroom to appear
was beginning to worry Miss Buck and
her parents, when they received word of
the accident Miss Buck hurried to the
bedside of Afllerbach. Both agreed that
the wedding should take place in spite of
the accident. The ceremony was per
formed by the Rev. Miles A. Keegan, of
South Langhomo. The bride says she will
nurse her husband, who will be brought
to the Frankford Hospital today.

Some Probabte Omissions
Fronb Methodist Ritual
From marriage services
"With my worldly goods I thee
endow."
"Who giveth this woman to be
married to this man?" (Made op
tional.) "Wilt thou obey?" (Already
omitted.)
From baptismal service:
"For as much ns all men are
conceived and born in sin." (Held
to be n medieval nnd unethical
view.)
From burial service!
"For as much as it hnth pleased
Almighty God in His wise provi
dence to take out of tho world tho
soul of the departed."

SUFFERED TWO DEFEATS
other than her own name Is past, and the
endowment of her goods In tho marriage
ceremony Is virtually without meaning.
As to tho giving of tho woman In marriage
thVt is a survUnl of another old custom
which Is no longer practiced nnd It speaks
well for the Methodist Church that It has
taken tho lead tn tho movement to do
nway with It.
"I notice In England today there Is a
strong sentiment In favor of dropping the
word 'obey' from tho marriage ceremony.
I am tn favor of It, and I would not bo sur
prised If the next convention of the Epis
copal Church takes action on this subject
along the lino of the Methodist Conference.
The report of the Committee on the Re
vision of the Pmyer Book will probably
have something to recommend upon thin
matter nt that time,"
Tho Rev. Edwin Heyl Delk, pastor of St.
Matthew's Lutheran Church, Broad and
Mount Vernon Btroots, Is one of the clergy
men who holds that tho question at pres
ent lies entirely within the jurisdiction of
tho Methodist Church. He was disin
clined to comment upon the subject today,
on tho ground that his words might bo
construed as criticising another church,
but said ho felt that In his vlow the
services were woll enough ns they stand,
nnd ho did not see any necessity for any
amendment at this time.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y May a.
TTutlcnl changes In the service of the
Methodist Tplscopnl Church were pro
vided In n revised ritual which was sub
mitted to the General Conference today
for action ,
This marked the third attempt nt re
vision, prevldus efforts In 1608 and 1912
having proved unsuccessful. Any change
In the language of the historic ritual,
which John Wesley provided for his. fol
lowers when he Instituted the church,
has always been opposed by the con
servatives. Among the changes suggested by the
revisionists was tho proposition that the
"dovll" be stricken from atpaesages nnd
that tho word "sin" be substituted.
A servlco for tho burial of children and
receiving them Into the church Is also
provided.
The words "nnd with my worldly goods
I thee endow" aro stricken from the mar-

K&l industry
A poor boy a strange inspiration one o.f the three greatest
discoveries of modern times
and one of the world's most important industries
is born! Could romance hold more?
MICHAEL FARADAY was the son of a poor blacksmith. At four
teen he is apprenticed to a bookbinder. At night he reads books.
One day there comes into the little shop a dog-eared volume of a
work of vast learning seldom thought of as an inspiration to
youth the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
It does not go out of the shopuntil this eager-minded apprentice
has read the long articles on Electricity and Chemistry, and some
others. It is enough. The die is cast. Michael Faraday will
become a "natural philosopher," as he fondly used the term.

of a thousand cells or more, such as we use for door-bells and
flash-lights.)
But it stirred tho highly imaginative boy. What if an almost unlimited
source of this "subtle fluid," which could work such wonders, might be found?
It was twenty years or more before Faraday found it; he did not live to
see the fruition of his tremendous discovery.
' You know what the discovery was simply that by rapidly whirling a bar
of soft iron in front of a magnet an electric current could be generated.
The results are the huge generators at Niagara, the monster turbine
generators like that of the Waterside Station in New York City, requiring
the power of 30,000 horses to move them and electricity doing the heavy
work of the world,

EIGHTH AND NINTH
The chance meeting with the vohime of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, the turning point of Faraaay's career, occurred more
than a century ago. Do you imagine that such opportunities
no longer exist that genius can only get on with the aid of a
college education?
Turn, then, to that American whose career has closely followed
Faraday's our own Edison. He, too, was a poor boy, had no
college education. And he, too, became the "greatest experi
mental genius of his time."
And even this .man "with a mind like an encyclopaedia" keeps
the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA always at his elbow.
So do many others who, without a college training, have risen
from obscurity to the highest positions m American life men
like James J. Hill, Charles M. Schwab and scores of others.
And the Encyclopaedia Britannica in its newest form is far
Detter calculated to De tne inspiration
of youth nnd genius than the edition
current in Faraday's time. The new
Eleventh Edition is as much more
wonderful than the old edition as our day, is more wonderful
than Faradav's. Even more than in that day it sums up in
compact space the highest knowledge and information which
men of science possess.
And far more than in his day it is a practical work, made not for scholars
and university professors alone not just for "high-brows" but for the
busy men anil women of today and for the eager mind of youth.
Its splendid articles, not only on electricity and chemistry, but upon
every branch and division of science and knowledge, form the finest ground
work for a broader education that could be found.
