DR. RICHARD'S BUSY YEAR The following item shows the active year through which Rev. W. A. Rich¬ ard, former pastor of the Freeport M. E. Church, has passed aa pastor of the Bushwick Avenue M. E. Church:
This cburch is joat now experiencing a fine revival through its regular meet¬ ings. The Sonday aervicea, the prayer meetings, tbe Sunday School, the Ep¬ worth League—all show enlarged at¬ tendance and increased interest. On November 14 fifty were received on probation, with otbers to follow. The previous month eighty-six were re ceived by letter and from probation. | In a little over two and a half years Dr. W. A, Richard, the paator. who has been his own evangelist, has wel¬ comed over 500 new members into the church and another large class is to join at the next reception. The net gain haa been twenty five per cent. During tbis period the church has paid over $28,000 for bailding and improve¬ ments, including a $6600 pipe orgim. The laat year by count overl27,0e0at¬ tended the strictly religious services of the charch, with no sensational features to attract audiences. The chorch now enrolls about 1550 mem¬ bers and the Sanday Srhool about 8200 and has preperty valued at $190,000. This big aggregation of people aim not only to furnish a center of life, ligbt, comfort and salvation to thous¬ ands in tbe community, but also to sund as a mighty bolwark against the I tides of temptation and evil that beat upon young and old froni every side. !

County Telephone System in Use
Mineola, Dec. 20, 1915. Editor Nassau County Review :—
I desire t,o inform you that there baa been inatalled in Naasau County a police telephone system, central office being the Naaaau County Jail, tele¬ pnone Nob. Garden City loOl, 1000, 814; and one of the motorcycle oflicers will be on duty at the jail every night from now until Spring to receive re¬ porta of Crimea being committed any¬ where in the county. It will be the doty of such motorcycle ofiicera to im- mediate'y aend a general alarm over aaid telephone aystem and sumtrion aoch oflicers aa -nay be neceasary for immediate action. The motorcycle officera will be equipped with a motor¬ cycle, and there will a'.ao be an auto-1 ^,^y,„,^ ;„ this aection mobile available, ao that quick action may be taken. We hope that you will give these facts the wideat publfcity through your newapaper to the end that all of the people of the county msy know of the ayatem that has been put into operation and whenever any peraon knows of a crime being com¬ mitted at night they will immediately call up the jail and give, the informa¬ tion.
We confidently believe that with the co-operation of the citizena of the county this system will work great good in the auppreaeion and detection of crime.
Yours very truly. Lewis J. Smith, Distritt Attorney.
