THE past is gone, of course, but the
| memory fingers. Perhaps, like some others,
| YOU prefer to leave it belinda blank page
! in the book of life, a missing link in the
| chain of years But why seek to wipe it off
| the diary of the days? Surely something
| some act, influence, error, pain orjoy-has
helped you solve the riddle of life up to the
| present Glance back and look it over now
and see if you cannot pluck from the clouds
| or the sunshine some tears or some smiles
that have followed you on. Are the voices
| that come over the hills, across
| the waters, through the forests dis
cordant or melodious nowf' Are the
| words that echo down the days hurtful or
helpful? Are the errors lasting or is the
lesson they taught fraught with the fruit
that ripens on the bough of bitter expert
ence? Are the hopes that cheered the young
heart all blasted now-dead leaves, scentless
blossoms, bitter buds? Hardly. Instead
out of the youthful fears sprang manly
| hopes. Out of the errors of the past grew
| the earnest endeavors of the present. Into
| the dead leaves which fell and enriched the
soil the seed was sown which grew the flow
| ers now twined in the rope that binds the
past to the present. Don't bury the past
beyond resurrection. Place it out of sight
| If you will, but not beyond reach. If the
past is a ghost laugh at it, because it cannot
harm. Make of it memory, for in its recol-
! lections you will find more helps than hurts,
more sweets than sours.

The fact that some of onr daily pa
pers have published in their columns
that the next quarterly payment of
pensions would take place on August
4th instead of September 4th, rs here
toforc, has led to a misunderstanding
among those who are now on the pen
sion rolls. According to Act OF Con
gross approved March 3d, 1891, tho
eighteen agents for the payment of
pensions throughout the United States,
are divided in three groups by the Sec.
rotary OF tho Interior.
The first group comprising Chicago
and the west) will be paid or tho 4th
days Of January April, Julyand 0cto-
Der Of each year, and the second
group comprising Philadelphia, New
York and the east, will make their
quarterly payments on February 9TH
May 4th, August 9TH and November 9Th
of each year. The third group, com
pIising the Washington Agency, and
from which nearly all of those who
are drawing pensions in this city and
state are paid, will make their quarter.
ly payments on the ith days OF March,
June, September and December of
each year, the same as they have been
paid In the past. SO all those who re-
ceive their money frC IN the Washing
ton Agency, =. L. Wilson Pension
Agent, will continue to have their
vouchers, etc, on tho 4tll OF March
June, September and December, rs
heretofore. This Information is given
in answer to many inquiries regarding
the matter. .#=.

The George Washington Fishing Club
went down the bay this morning, and
Wilmington for once is in placid.
peaceful mood. There have been no
robberics, no riots, hardly scold, nor
even q drunken bum to take to the city
cells. The latter is accounted for part
ly and chiefly on account of the Excess
sive amount of bait carried away by
the fishermen. An Ananias has not
been heard Of in the city the whole
day.
Soon after the club started out this
morning it was reported that num-
her OF the membors had already been
put In the kole Hole Tor disobedienee

stand one hour in the not sun. As tho

SILK Worms and Tape, Worms. ~
The opponents Of the Mckinley tar
IN me never at loss for argument to
bolster up free trade and TO make the
people dissatisfied with the new tariff.
It makes no difference whether the ar
guments are sound or not or even II
they are true, II is oil the same if they
can only get the people to believe
them. Unfortunately there are too
many people who never read and study
up the matter for themselves and con-
sequently are always in mental con-
dition to DO deceived. An incident
which is said to have actually occurred
in our Sister City of Reading, may be
given as au illustration upon this point
some few weeks ago there was an
excursion from Wilmington TO Read
ing and a gentleman from our city an
ardent Democrat who was along with
it tells the following which he says &C.
tually occurred:
A customer entered into Reading
dry go DDS store to buy a spool of silk
thread. The proprietor very politely
handed out the required article, nam
ing ten cents as the price. The sur
prised customer asked: "TIow is thisY
why that is three cents mofo than you
ever charged before" The storelee p
or found he was in for it, and he had
10 Dnnlsa ann,a aSauca and ,.oaI Iity fall
back on tho Mckinley tariff as the
cause OF the rise. The customer still
couldn't quite see it, and asked what
the Mckinley tariff had to do with it.
The storekeeper was not to be cornered
and, having no doubt been aceustom-
ed to giving arguments against the
Mckinley tariff, was ready with his re-
ply, and looking into the eyes of his
customer said: well, you see the silk
worms didn't work right" This was 0
knock down argument, the customer
paid the price asked for the thread and
departed.
The storekeeper seeing how nico hi.
little game worked, told his clerk o.
his success and urged him to drive
sharp transactions on the strength o
the Mckinley tariff. The clerk had no
long to wait for IN opportunity.
customer came in to buy aroll of tape
1t too was five cents, but the clerl
asked eight, giving as an excuse thai
on account of the Mckinley tariff, the
"tape worms didn't work right" Upol
this course OF reasoning, we m ay OK.
pect our Democratic friends to give u:
an excuse for sugar, if iteyer goes vi
in price that on account of the McKin
ley tariff, the humble bee didn't worl
right or in regard to the tin-plat
tariff tho excuse may be that there i
no iron nor pudding furnaces il

The writer thinks obedience to God
Is not voluntary matter with man.
Man owes the obedience. But as God
liz holy, pure, truthful, Just and right
eous and man, in his Inherent nature,
the opposite, 1t follows that original
man Is alienated from, and rebellious
toward, God. He cannot thus give the
obedience which he owes The law In
the nature OF God Is memorable and
Interchangeable.
Hence because man cannot render
the obedience he must suffer the penal-
ty. Now Jesus Christ the Son OF
God, lived, died and resurrected tri-
umphant over sin, Satan and death,
whereby in His Holy Spirit, He comes
to earth and lives His life in man. The
beginning OF this Chrlst-life in man Is
called born of the Spirit of God,n its
continuance is Christian living. Tho
status OF a mans obligation and rela-
tionship to God stands unimpalred by
the conduct of his fellow beings. He
cannot plead their disobedience to
God in excavation OF his own.
But while obedience to God Is not n
voluntary matter with man his accept.
ance or rejection of Christ as his Saw
Jour from sin and its consequences is
humanely conceded to be voluntary
" tilo thdJOtibN Vi CuIlSLlullS. AT leubJ
the writer understood DR.. Cook to ex-
hibit that view in his Sunday forenoon
sermon and also supposes him to be as
Calvanistic as any pastor in this city,
and strictly orthodox:
Now the writer thinks that the Cos
pei fills the place OF the divine law and,
by it's Christ-life within, puts into a
man tho powers OF reconciliation to
God and of Gospel obedience, the fruits
OF which are salvation from sin and
eternal life.
A sufiiciency of divine wisdom hos
never yet been given to the writer to
| enable him to reconcile in his mind the
''sovereignty OF God" with the free
| agency of man" while he admits both
facts. He admits to be true what he
does not understand. But God is In
| finitely great and wise and does under
stand 1t, and all persons, who accept
Jesus Christ in Gospel obedience to
God, will come to understand it. by
the time they understand that there
will be nobody present to say they are
not ''pure In heart" .....
IL Is u wonderful mystery why the
| Infinite God should, In the person OF
Jesus Christ on earth, lay aside for a
time His powers and permit men to
execute upon Him the utterly deprav.
ell and murderous instincts OF thelI
own hearts. But IL was an eternal
abandonment OF the carnal nature OF
man. We cannot measure the love
the wisdom and the glory OF God.
