PRICETWOC GENTS.

out recognition by the denomination, having
been refused this by two previous Baptist
councils, has been thereby retarded in its op-
portunities of growth, the membership fear
ing that our peculiar circumstances would
not allow us to offer those desirous of joining
us full denominational membership, not be-
ing ourselves recognized as a regular Bap-
tist church. This fact has operated against
us repeatedly during the last ten months as
definite obstruction to our growth. We
refrained from active exertion in the line of
increasing our church membership solely out
of consideration to understood Baptist proce-
dure and customs, which was held up to us
as prohibitive in church occupying our
position of incompleteness in a denomina-
tional sense. This fact may reveal to the
Council the reason why there is no increase
in our membership since October last and
also remove the stigma of apparent laxness
in that direction.
The discussion over the above statement
elicted favorable comment from the men,
bers of the Council The various points of
chuich sustinance, future field, Declaration Of
Faith, were well received by the delegates.

The senior deacon of the new church,
JamesJ. Walker, was called upon at various
times by the Council for information in re-
gard to the prospects of the church.
The Financial Secretary, Jno. W. Gately,
read financial statement covering the
church's accounts since it's institution Octo-
ber last.
Dr. Weston made the motion, that the
Council proceed to recognition of Gaane Bap-
list church as regular Baptist church,
which was seconded by Rev, B. C.Needharn
Of Brandywine. The motion was passed by

all voting.
The following committee was then appoint
ed upon the subject of recognition services,
DR.. Weston, James ]. Walker and Rev.
Moses Heath, who reported as follows
That recognition services for Grace Baptist

21st at 7.45 o'clock sermon by Rev. G. H.

recognition by Rev. 0. G. Budding
ton charge to the church by Rev.

by Rev. DIR. r. B. Cook, The report was
adopted. After closing prayer by Rev.

Sidewalk ObstructOrs.

The Philadelphia Press Of Sunday last
contained the following :--"Alexander Ser
rivani, NJ. De Negri and Edward Baxter,
Delaware Avenue and Dock Street. and
John Aratta, Delaware Avenue and Vine

ance by obstructing the sidewalks with fruit
booths, were yesterday given partial hear

was continued until Tuesday next"
Now, whether the above will pour unction
into the soul of the Wilmingtonian who SO
persistently, and siugle-banded, carries on

that what is good law in Philadelphia might
possibly serve equally we'll here.

Harry Sharpley.

With feelings of sincere sorrow few sim
pie but heartfelt words are said in memory
of the deceased, Harry Sharpley, Esq.
We are again in the presence of Deaf h.
But, how unusually impressive this occasion
| isl
1t is hard to realize, as we stand in the
dark chamber, that that bright and promis-
ing young life, that we all knew SO we'll, is
the one, dimly seen, lying prone upon the
couch, so still, in Natures last sleep.
In the silent presence extreme sorrow is
with difficulty repressed.
Who can look unconceruedly upon the
affecting picture of his career sosuddenly cut
off. How it touches us all in the reality of
it.
The public life of the deceased is we'll
known throughout the State. No young
professional man in Delaware had fairer
prospects of future promine5ce. In his
profession, that of the law, Harry Sharpey.
ESD, was pre- eminent among his compeers.
No judicial position in the State, even the
highest, was, in the estimation of his PRO
fession brethren, beyond his future possibil-
ity of attainment. He was most industri-
GUS and close student of law even to the
time Immediately before mis- fatal illness.
Among the people, in public and private
life the deceased was the most popular of
Wilmington's younger aspirants for political
distinction,
And that popularity was earned deserved
ly by a most honorable record Of public life.
More than once Harry Sharpley threw aside
Indignantly the protfer of lucrative emolu-
ment and political advancement simply be-
cause he perceived in its acceptance the sac
rifce Of personal integrity. More than once
he persistently withstood in the Assembly
the Establishments and substantial offers of
those whose anxiety was to encompass some
glaring iniquity upon the State Treasury.
By such a course his advancement was re-
tarded by those in power but his sterling in
dependence was well understood and appre-
ciated by the taxpayers of his native State.

WASHINGTON D. c., Sept. IA, tSs6-Sir !.
Referring to the article in your journal of
Inst. which has been referred by the Hon.
Postmaster General to this office. l have to
inform you that after careful investigation
the conclusion has been arrived at, that
Sections 925 and 1916 Postal Laws and Regu-
lations relating respectively to the use of the
mails for the transmission of obscene matter,
and in furtherance of schemes to defraud,
are not broad enough to embrace each cases
as the one you submit. Respectfully,
VIM. A. WEST,
Chief Inspector.
The above speaks for itself.
Those of our citizens who were subjected
to the indgnity of the pamphlets referred to
are left to no other alternative than that the
postal regulations as they exist are entirely
inadequate to protect the private citizen
from an invasion Of his private rights and
that he is left entirely without that protec-
tion to which he is entitled.
The sooner Congress sets about remedying
this evil the better for their credit and for
that decent security which the laws of the
land are commonly supposed to extend over
the citizen.

Educational.

We have been requested by a number Of
teachers belonging to the different reading
circles to present an outline for the course
of professional reading.
The majority Of the reading circles and
Local Institutes have adopted Raub's School
Management and ParkeT's Talks on Teach
ing as text books for a course of reading and
study. The outline here presented will be
made according to the arrangement Of topics
by these works. AS the term is too short
for the study of all topics, it is thought best
to recommend such topics as are of special
Importance for the actual work of schools.

While the foregoing outline may serve as
guide to the leaders and teachers of the var

in the assignment of lessons by the direst
wants and desires OF the teachers. Some
topics may require a review and others pass

At some Of the meetings, the attendance
has not been NJ to the expectations of the
leaders of these meetings. Teachers who
do not assist TO carry out their own resOlu-
tions of the County Institute are open to
censure.
