just big enough to carry provisions for

necessary coal; vessel of about 200
tons will suffice. The most important
feature of the ship will be that she will
be built on such lines as will give her
the greatest power of resistance to the
pressure of the foe Ice. Her sides
must not be perpendicular, as those OF
ships generally are, but must slope from
the bulwarks to the keel; or, to use
sailors expression, her dead rise" must
be made great, SO that the foes shall
get no hold Of her when they are
pressed together, but will glide down
ward along her sides and under her,
thus tending to lift her out Of the

With this vessel, and a crew of ten

besides an equipment for five years as
good in all respects as modern appli-
ances can afford, think the enterprise

Rev. William s. Langford of New

of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
preached In St. Johns Church Yesterday
afternoon 10 the Delaware branch OF the
Women's Auxiliary to the Board of Mis-
sions. Mr. Langford's delivery is of rare
esrnestness and power. He reminds one
much Of Bishop Coleman in his clear
enunciation. He chose for his text the
words OF st Paul In the foarteeath verse
OF the first chapter Of Romans: 81 am

Gods grace he said, had 20 assisted St
Paul In his ministry that he felt that he
was debtor to all men to distribute
among them the fullness Of his great
riches. We should be impressed with
tibet spirit which sctuated st. Paul to
make such sacrifices. No such work is OBJ
jected TO as that Of foreign missions. One
OF the objections is that the money never
reaches them. A careful investigation by
a disinterested man. President Low OF
Columbia College, showed that the cost Of
administering the gospel to the heather
is per cent of thu receipts, while the
cost Of administering life insurance by
the three strongest companies OF this
country is 21 per cent. In other words,
out Of every dollar paid In for foreign
missions SO cents goes to the heather,
while the cents pays the cost OF col

Delaware one certificate for l27 shares of
