The Wilmington Preachers Association
Engage in a spirited Discussion.
The Wilmington NJ E. Preachers As
sociation met at Fletcher Hall this morn
inc. and the session was an interesting
one. There was a good attendance and
the program provided was an inter. sting
one.
Rev. Adam Stengle read an essay en-
titled THE intermediate Period" in
which he stated that to his belief Christ
lived in Hades during the three days
after his crucidxion and before his resur
rection. This was argued ON at con
siderable length by Messrs. Van
Burkalow, Houston, Collins and Avery.
Mr.. YanBurkalow cited Adam Clarke,
quite frequently, in his speech and Mr.
Avery stated that on several occasions,
his views had been declared to be directly
at variance with Methodist doctrine, aud
they had never been upheld by Methodist
writer's.
Mr. Van Burkalow denied this with a
sharp accent and several of the brethren
arose and asked him to state one in
stance. The former gentleman very
gravely replied "They have been upheld
by Van Burkalow in the Peninsula
Methodist. The applause and laughter
at this point was great.
DR. Todd said that while be had no
grounds for believing in an intermediate
place, he did in an intermediate state,

Asbury M. E. Church celebrated Mis-.
sionary Sunday yesterday. Rev. w. w.
w. Wilson of Smyrna preached In the
morning and Rev. John H Wiley. Ph. ID.
of Milford preached at night. The church
was crowded at both services. Rev. ]. d.
G. Hanna said he wanted a collection OF
$500 for MISSIONS. $500 of this amount
was subscribed on collection at the morn
ing service and $3.50 was taken at night.
Rev. John d. @. Hanna had charge Of the
collectors and at the evening
service he kept them busy for
half an hour. He opened by asking for
81 subscriptions, but they came in
slowly; then he asked for dollars and
they came in rapidly. When the dollar
vein was exhausted he dropped to fifty
cents or half a dollar, then to twenty
five cents. When these had diminished.
the basket was passed and the penny
givers had their opportunity. The re-
marks Of the pastor and the succession of
subscriptions were frequently amusing.
especially when Mr.. Hanna gave twenty
FIVE cents for each of his three children.

they ought 20 live forever.
Rev. DR.. Wiley preached a practical
sermon on the text: NOW IL any man
have not the spirit of Christ, he is none
Of His" from the ninth verse Of the
eighth chapter of Romans. He said in
part: '"re be a Christian is to be like
Christ, no matter what the system of ar
irving at that condition. Many Of us
claim to be Christians, but let us exam
inc ourselves to see il we are wrong
How did Christ regard the missionary
| idea. He came to redeem the world as a
missionary. and all his teachings follow
out this plan. The salvation Of the whole
world was his purpose and prayer, and
for that he died. His spirit was as broad
as the universe. Wherever there is
true Christianity, comes to the surface
forgetfulness of self. Christianity
represents a universal brotherhood. If
we do not love Gods word how can we
love the Son of God, who died to save
the world. A man who is deaf to mis-
sionary enterprises has not the spirit Of
Christ in him.
Civilization without the Bible Is a
cold, cheerless, 'comfortless scheme. All

others have done to you, and send com

JOY and hope of eternal salvation to those
who need them, yet have never heard the

on Saturday afternoon, about o'clock.
She was making FIRE in the kitchen

evening meal, and to aid in the speedy
ignition Of the wood used for kindling
which was slightly damp and would not
burn properly, she procured the coal oil
can and poured a quantity Of the deadly
fluid on the smoking fuel.
The can was nearly full of oil, and
the fame darted up into il, and the gas
therein was ignited in an instant. The
vessel burst and the burning oil ran
down the woman's clothing, which was
soon a mass of flames.
She ran about dejectedly. screaming
with all her strength for help. John
Lake, who happened in that locality, ran
to her assistance and smothered the fire
with his heavy overcoat. Medical aid
was summoned, and kind neighbors rem
dered all possible assistance, but all to
10 avail. She lived in intense agony
until o'clock yesterday morning, when
death relieved her suffering.
Mrs. Martin was 50 years of age, and
the mother of ex-Sherif Martin OF Mil
ton. Arrangements for the funeral have
not been made.
