THE Hon. ]. S. Willis addressed the
Young Mems Christian Association 'oi
Wilmington on Sunday last. He chose
for his text:
Though a sinner do evil a hundred
times, and his DAYS be prolonged, yet
surely know that it shall be well with
them that fear God, which fear before
Him
But it shall not be we'll with the
wicked neither shall he prolong his days,
which are as a shadow because he fear
eth not before God" Ecclesiastes VIII,
II. I3.
The speaker began his remarks by ad-
dressing his congregation in the familiar
term OF brothers and sisters. He did this
he said. because he wanted to stand with
them in recognition of the basis OF a COM
mon humanity, and in the fatherhood OF
God The topic which he found IN the
text was that lit pays to be good" he
first spoke of the pernicious example OF
the prosperous wicked man Too often
they set the pace and give the guage OF
success to young people and encouraging
Them TO do evil because of the deferred
Judgment of God. The declaration, he
said, was true in spite Of the apparent evi
dences TO the contrary. Il shall not be
well with the wicked.
The speaker described the wicked man
under the guise Of dishonest though

decorated with cedar. evergreens and polted
flowers Over either aisle of the church
was an arch and 10 front of the pulpit was
another arch from which was suspended a

lovely aud pleasing appearance.

gan and Miss EVELYN Doegins on the right
aisle The bride entered the church on the
arm Of Miss Minnie Luttrell and the groom

successful merchant, aud lie man feared
Cod under the guise of the honest mer-
chant who failed in business but passed
his after-life in peace, conscious Of the
favor of God. The pictures were admir-
ably drawn word paintings and were lis
tened to with marked interest by the
great audience. Turning to the express
sion fear of God" in his text, the speaker
said that this did not mean a cringiHg
fear, but the fear that one has for offend
ing very dear friend. The service of
God was a life governed by that kind Of
fear which compels obedience to those
who men love and who loves them. Men
cannot love and obey God without loving
one another. Obedience to God IS not
the acceptance of creeds, but
the doing Of righteousness; to such the
truth comes thatthey are accepted OF Goa
The world cannot give this assurance,
neither can it take it away. 1t pays to

THE financial report made by James
Welch, treasurer of the Avenue NJ,
Church fund as read on Sunday morn
ing last. showed that every claim against
the church WIS paid and about hum
dred dollars left remaining in the treas
ury. During the year about two thous
and dollars was raised and this was
enough to pay all expenses for the year.
to pay few outstanding bills from last
year and to leave something over hun
dred dollars IN cash in the hands OF the
treasurer. This showing is unusually
good, considering the striHgency IN the
money market and the unusual hard
times. The report covered everything
up to the first day of March Each
month during the year the pastors salary
has been paid in full as has also all other
bills made by the present financial man
ayers of the church's affairs. The new
conference year begins with not a dollar
of Indebtedness on the church, and the
are that there will not be any
trouble in a financial way during the
year or as long thereafter as the
Rev DR. Marundale remains as the pas
tor in charge.

PROF. POWELL's fourth lecture was de-
/ livered Friday night last. The attend
ance showed an increased interest. The
attention was marked from beginning to
end aud deservedly so, for the lecturer
handled his subject most ably. The first
federal administration had for its head
Thos Adams an experienced, courageous
statesman, who governed the country from
1907 to 1901, when the first Democratic or
Republican administration came in
Adams defects and merits we're portrayed,
the various measures Of the federal Con-
gress described aud the stirring events of
the period terselv aud skilfully narrated.
Due honor was given to federalism for
his achievements and the cause of its fall
was shown The lecturer reviewed the
various tendencies at work during the
last four wears of the century and devo-
ted particular attention to the troubles
with France, lays treaty and the alien
aud sedition act. He paid a well mer
tied tribute to John Jay, who although
he was the iutice of the supreme court,
accepted the difficult post of Ambassador
to England. we'll knowing that he could
not fulfill the duties of the position eX
cept at the sacrifice of his popularity, and
as a consequence OF the presidency to
which he may well have aspired In the
darkness of the age his selfsacrifcing /
act shines like a star. The intense bit
terness Of the time was alluded to aud |
some violent ebullitions of partisan feel |
ing recited showing how deeply our an |
cestors felt. how hastily they juuged and |
how thorny was the path of the aspirant |
for political houors The personal rela- |
tons to Adams and Jefferson were also |
considered the interesting fact brought |
nut that their estrangemeut was turned /
into friendship and good will by Mrs.
Adams Both ex Presidents died on the
,ame day, July 4, 1926 The subject of
he next lecture will be: The Strange
