The Pastor of the Second Church Boldly
CriticizeS an Unchristian Rivalry.

| me Pastor oil the Second Church Boldly
Criticizes an Unchristian Rivalry.
A sudden and very explicit state
ment from the new pastor of the Second
Baptist Church Sunday, spoken to the
largest congregation that ever met in
that building for Sunday evening SER
vice, caused every face along the long
front rows, and, it is supposed, every
other face too of those that could not be
seen, to stiffen up rigidly in very posi-
tive interest in what Mr.. Meeser was
saying.
The pastor was reading the earlier
selection from the Scriptures for the
| evening lesson. 1t was from that nota-
BILE passage where certain of Christ's
critics PROFOUND the query as to whether
it was right for a jew to pay tribute to
| Caesar.
You see, Mr.. Meeser said, referring to
the context, how the Pharisees and
Saducees, themselves always at war,
Joined hands to combat what they con-
sidered a common enemy. So, it is, he
continued, that the opponents Of Christ
will Immediately drop their own
quarrels for the time and join forces
against the right. 1t reminds me, Mr..
Meeser said, OF my former home in New
Jersey, where most of you know of the
political strife, how both sides Joined to
oppose the movement that was made to
suppress the race track and the gamb-
ling places.
Turning to another species of rivalry
which has caused strife and condition
Of things not in perfect conformity with
Christian duty, Mr.. Meeser very plainly
criticized and condemned the peculiar
rivalry existing between the Young
Peoples Society of the Baptist Church
and the Epworth League of the Method
lists. 1t is already an unfriendly rivalry.
There was no need of either society, in
the paths they have taken, when there
already existed the most worth Society
of Christian Endeavor, one belonging
equally to all Christian churches, and
which called for undenomlnationa
work, divorced from every taint OF
jealous rivalry. Mr.. Meeser pleaded for
unanimity OF Christian work devoid of
all denmominational markings. He ex-
pressed his clear belief that the path of
Christian duty is wide enough and plain
enough for Baptists, Methodists, and
every other member of the Christian
family.
1t is understood that the Young
Peoples Union is the special pet of the
Baptists. What was gathered from Mr..
Meeser's expressions last night is that
he fears it is developing into a separatist
organization. Obviously, one strong
point OF the now pastor is an insistence
of public work more along Christian
than UNCONVENTIONAL lines.

A Proposition for Meeting of Repre-
sentutives of All Boards of Health in
the State.
Secretary d. B. Frazer of the State
Board of Health, has suggested to the
President, DR.. L. w. Cooper of Camden,
the practicability of calling q meeting
of the State Boards of Health in Viii.
mington, in the early part of February,
and to invite all the local Boards Of
Health throughout the State to send
representatives to discuss such measures
as are needed aud have been neglected.
The most important subject To be dis
cussed is the sanitary condition of the
public schools (the ventilation, light,
heat and dust in a school housel or
school room, should be under intelligent
supervision, the health of the pupils de.
mahds this.
There are Boards of Health at viii.
mington, New Castle, Newark, Odessa,
Middletown and Townsend, in New
Castle county; at Dover, Smyrna, Leip-
sic, Camden and Harrington, in Kent,
and at Milford, Lewes, Laurel, Seaford
and Bridgeville, in Sussex.
A representative from 16 local boards
and the eight members of the State
Board, including the secretaries of the
city and State boards, would make
good meeting, and plans for spring
work could be discussed, as well as
other subjects.

It Grew As IL Travelled.

An item that was printed in EVERY
EVENING last week about some con-
tracts for work received by the Pusey s.
Jones Company, travelled around in
various other papers, gathering impetus
as it progressed, until it assumed the
form of an announcement that the
works had resumed to their full ca
pacity, after an idle period of several
months. The result was an impression
that the company would have immediate
need Of large number of employees,
which has caused rush of applicants at
the works. AS matter of fact, the
Pusey & Jones works have not been
idle, but have been going along on their
usual winter schedule.

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the Senators and Representatives in

Gentlemen: l. 1t is known to you that
San Antonio with its mild and dry at
m)sphpre offers conditions favorable to
the cure of consumption aud other dis

Just stated has brought TO this city from
other parts of Texas, other states and
Canada, large numbers of patients who
come here often in the last stages Of coz
sumption and without money.
3. If not within your knowledge it can
be shown that the Accommodations Of this
place for invalidS, especially those with
pulmonary comp aintS, are wholly and
pit fniIy inadequate to their needs, and
further 1t is not possible for this city
aOn {" grapple with the difficulty pre-
SeDt'd.
The question then arises. who shall
provide for the army of sick people COM
ing this way in search of health?
A matter concerning the whole country.

charitable OF this but OF every communi-
" in the land, TO see that the afflicted
directed TO San Antonio from all over the
nation. shall be treated on their arrival
here in a manner dictated by the broadeSt
humanity; namely, by their reception
into suitable hospitals aud SanitariumS.
II this be not done the alternative, con-
tsgion will be sown broadcast in this
health resort, in hotels, boarding and
lodging bOuseS. and death will continue
% reap the harvest of hundreds and
thousands of lives. which. in a human
probability might have been saved.
Gentlemen, il j. earnestly begged that
you Will give due consideration to this
important subject. and if there be no
OvPrStatemeEt of the case, that you will
do all in your power to to promote the de-
sired results, in keeping with advanced
