A\\nsteamboat pier has been extended into the bay, and an island opposite\\nforms a perfect breakwater and harbor for all boats and yachts while\\nlanding or at anchor.

Several mem-\\nbers of the Baptist denomination, realizing the need of a place\\nwhere health and recreation could be sought without excessive ex-\\npense and immoral influence, selected this spot, after a pretty full\\nsurvey of the unoccupied ground on the coast. It is situated on a\\nnarrow piece of land which runs down from Squan river to Barnegat\\ninlet, and which lies between Barnegat bay and the ocean. The Park\\nconsists of three hundred acres, with an ocean front of one and three-\\nquarter miles, and a similar bay front.\\nThe natural advantages of the place are very great. There are,\\nfirst of all, the beach and the ocean. The bathing is very fine and\\neminently safe. The people of the surrounding country have resorted\\nhere every summer from immemorial time but no death by drown-\\ning has ever occurred. (A death from congestion occurred last sum-\\nmer, in the case of an aged man who bathed directly after dinner.)\\nA very marked feature is the bay. It affords still-water bathing\\nfor those who prefer it. It is unsurpassed as a sailing ground. Here\\nis a body of water, land-locked, twenty or thirty miles long and two\\nto five broad, with the water from four to six feet deep. The inexpe-\\nrienced sailor, when he is upset, finds himself in four feet of water,\\nrights up his boat, and tries again. Children may row with safety.\\nEach year the yacht regatta on the bay is an event of great interest.\\nThe bay has long been celebrated as a sporting ground. Fish are\\nabundant, especially since the law has forbidden the destructive modes\\nof fishing formerly in vogue.

They seem to combine all of the spiritual sentiment\\nwhich can be derived from natural religion and the most fervid\\nappreciation of the atonement. The broad ocean, telling of God the\\nCreator, and urging his worship in its one surf-song, speaks to an\\nassembly who have just left the altar worship of God the Redeemer.\\nNature and grace assert that there is no antagonism between them,\\nbut that both shall bend knees together in God s worship.

The natural and spiritual\\ncome together in the manner which gives the best of both. The\\nenjoyment makes us wonder that men do so much worshiping in\\ncostly temples, when the groves and sea-sides are open.
