Sermon By Rev. S. L. Gracey.

Rev. DIR. Samuel L. Gracey, of Linn,
Mass, thirty years ago pastor of the
Methodist church here and during the
ADMINISTRATION of President Harrison, U.
S. Consul in China, spent Sunday in
Smyrna, guest of his wifes sisters,
Mrs. Ella Griffith and Miss Mollie
Thompson preached an able sermon in
the NJ. e. Church Sunday morning.
He took for his text "FOr what man
knOweth the things of a man, save the
spirit of man which is in him? even so
the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God" 1 Cor. gil.
The text opened up broad view of
theological thought which was fol-
lowed in logical train to a conclusion
but with considerable latitude in strik-
ing and forceful illustrations that
ELECTED and held the close attention OF
his audience for the time occupied
three quarters of an hour,
The object of the speaker was to
show that men saw and know each
other from the common plane of their
lives in an existence that graded but
little above the brute to that of the
highest education, and their judgment
was naturally from the line of theil
own environments. In the same way
God is known-by accepting him, in
his revealed word, and with childlikt
simplicity receiving him in the heart
As man knows man by the spirit that
is i'll him, so he can know God only by
the spirit received from God. TIL,
highly educated, self-sufficient maj
who relies on his own intelligence
rather than simple faith accepted as
child or in the manner of the humbl,
poor, cannot have the spirit of God re
ferred to in the text. Such q on,
could not have place in heaven be
cause the spirit of God was not in him
Such a relation, to be transplanted t,
heaven, must be begun on earth.
was to this class and to this life tn
speaker held that the Apostle refere,
in the preceding verses where he de
clared, "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard
neither have entered into the heart O
man, the things which God hath pre-
pared for them that love him."

Ratification Meeting.

The Republican ratification meetings
commenced last week in Delaware.
The first was held in the Opera House,
Wilmington, ON Wednesday night, the
large building being filled TO its ut
most capacity and much enthusiasm
manifested. State Chairman Wiley
presided and speeches were made by
candidate for Governor, John H. Hof-
fecker; candidate for Congress, J. S.
Willis; Hon. G. M. Brumm, of Pennsyl-
vania, and ex-COnsul to China, S. L.
Gracey. The two last were the chief
speakers, the meeting holding till II
o'clock.
Similar meetings were held Mt Mil
ford on Thursday evening and George
town Friday evening, with the same
speakers except Congressman Brumm.
Mr.. Gracey made long and telling
speeches at both places, and MIR. Willis
followed in his usual happy vein. In
the Milford meeting our fellow towns
man is thus referred to:
Mr.. HOffecker was the first speaker.
In his address he gave brief sketch
of the Republican party in Delaware,
says that he was one of the forty men
who voted for Abraham Lincoln. in
Kent County, in the election of 1860.
He also gave resume of the events of
this campaign previous to his nomina-
tlOn by the convention at Dover, DENY
ing that he had either sought, or'' Jumped
at" the nomination when proffered to
him. He had seriously considered the
matter and decided to accept the nOmi-
nation when convinced of his duty a:
a citizen and member of the party il
this crisis. As the candidate of the
Republican party he recognized no fac
tion, was bound by no pledges, and il
elected would attempt to do his duty
to the whole people and for the good O
the State, He regretted the existenc,
of factiOnal feuds, entertained no per
sonal animosities, hoped that all fac
tlonalism might disappear, and if tha
could be brought about was confden
of success. AS the candidate of tn,
party preserving and perpetuating tn
historic organization through orderly
successive and lawful conventions, h,
could resign the the place assigned
him without it was so ordered by tn
reassembled convention. In the alb
sence of such action he was in the figh
to stay until decision was reached a
the polls. For the party's sake h
urged every one to earnest, loyal worE
for State and national victory. Mr.
HOffecker's address made an excellen
impression and was vigorously ap
plauded.

THE primary election of the Demo-
Gratis in Wilmington on Saturday was
such an open violation of law accom-
panied with violence as to call for con-
demnation on the part of the better
citizens and the best members of the
party that another primary be held for
an honest expression of the party as to
the candidates for the Legislature.
Unseemly demonstrations, boiling OF
the charges of fraud in the election,
has attended most every primary meet
ing or convention this year held in the
State. It shows q bad condition OF
politics, or low moral tone as to the
rights of individuals as expressed
through the ballot. When law is
trampled under foot and brute force
taxes its place, there is always danger
to the commonwealth. Such wicked
ness, as it did some years ago in Cali
fOrnia, as it has later in New York
Jersey City, Troy and other places
went from bad to worse until it had it,
natural reaction in the rise of the peo
pie in political revolution. Politics
like all other sins that run into oprres
sion, often atone for tuo.. '- il
blood. The evils i'll Delaware nav,
had their counterpart in other places
The highest right of an American citi
zen is the right of franchise. Whel
this is tampered with as was the cast
two years ago in Kent County for
political advantage and protected b.
the Judiciary, it arouses the wOrs
feelings in the breasts of the defrauded
When a large part of the people ar
made to feel that the law is used t.
punish instead of protect, then th
feeling that is inherent in our commo,
humanity comes up, of self protection
1t does not and will not reach thi
stage where the individual and poll
tical rights of community are at a
respected.

tainment.
At the announcement made by the
ringing of the church bell, Thursday
evening last, a goQdly number of peo-
pie turned out to the NJ. E. Church to
attend the reunion exercises of the
Sunday School, The school had been
rather inactive during the summer
months and it was thought highly
polite for the teachers and scholars to
re-assemble again and make an effort to
re-unite the school for the winter
months, Hence neat program was
arranged and entertainment given for
pleasant social pastime.
The lecture or Sunday School room
was becomingly decorated for the Oc-
casiOn in beautiful, autumnal tints.
The chairs and benches had to be
moved back and scattered here and
there were tables on which were ar
ranged beautiful roses and golden rod.
The effect made beautiful contrast to
the decorations which adorned the
chancel for here banks of potted plants
and flowers were neatly arranged.
Through this room social intercourse
took place and old and young joined
in greeting each other and hearing the
pleasant experiences of summer pas
time. In charge of the entertainment
was committee formed with Mrs. w.
H. Baggs, chairman, and Miss Clara
Bewley and Miss Irene Roberts and
through their efforts the following en-.
program was given:
Instrumental Solo, ':arNcissus' Miss M

ened by the acquisition of Miss Miriam

herself very accommodating about tax

ment committee, composed of Mrs

fecker and Mrs. w. o. Hoffecker

the evening soon passed away. 1t wa

THE question of having but one
Electoral ticket is exercising the mind
of the Republican party, and the COM
mittees of the Boilers or Higgins wing,
and the Union Republicans or Addicks
wing, are now trying to bring about
this result as they are all aiming at the
the election of Mckinley. There is
hardly any question but this will be
effected in a few days. Another
equally important matter to the party
in Delaware is the State ticket-but
one candidate for Governor and Con.
gressman, and which of the two nOmi.
nations shall come off. The Higgins
tail wants to wag the dog, but Ken
and Sussex and a large part Of New
Castle do not see it so: if the con
ditiOn was reversed, they would
The position of things in Kent wal
shown a few days ago when the Hig

the State but not so decisively. TIL

Circus Scheminp.

The Uniontown, Pa, Standard of
April 21st 1896, gives some interesting
information about the Great Walter L.
Main Show which is billed to appear
in Smyrna on Saturday Sept. 26th and
to illustrate the keen business tact Of
Mr.. Main we copy the following.
"Ihe afternoon performance was at
tended by large crowd and was one
of the best ever Witnessed in this place.
All the leading stars who were with
the circus last year are here again and
are the same old favorites as of yore.
Sturk and Zeno, the aerial performers,
are succeeded by the Fisher family and
nothing is lost by the change. In
Tony Lowande, the bareback rider.
Main has one of the stars of the ring.
His performances frequently brought
forth applause, One of the most at=
tractive features was the acting of the
wild animals, the lions, tigers, ETC., in
the big iron cage erected in the circus
tent. Wallace, the riding lion, is here
again with some new tricks. The boys
all remembered him last year and gave
him a warm reception. The races were
good and one of the pleasing perfor-
mances was by Prof. Joe Berris in
driving 81 horses. The performances
will be given again tonight.

Bethel A. Nj. E. Camp Meeting.

The colored people were in evidence
Sunday, it being "camp day" with
them, a tent being placed along side
Bethel A. M; E. Church and seats con-
structed to accommodate large num-
Der of the visitors. Besides those who
came from the surrounding country
and towns, was train of five coaches
from Chestertown, Nd, bringing over
300 people. The latter did up the town
pretty well, spending large part of
their time In perambulating the streets
on tour of inspection. A feature of
the colored people, new with this year,
was charging admission to the grounds
% cents. This was found to work
splendidly, as it relieved them of all
necessity of begging collection, as
heretofore, and thus delaying or inter
fering with the regular worship, The
money thus obtained was over $50. 90.
showing between 600 and 700 people
who attended the meeting through the
day. With the large class who would
rather spend $500 for something
'ornery" than one cent for religious
purposes, (and it is a class that includ-
es both colors) the admission charge
is 0 good thing for they would eontri-
butte nothing otherwise. 1t was with
this as with other meetings of the
kind, a number who came were nc
credit to the occasion or the company
they were with Those who came for
the camp services seemed to have a
good time and the meeting was kept
up without intermission through the
day and evening, Rev, Frank Bradley

THE Indec indicated in its issue
right after the County Convention last
week at Dover that there was consider
able dissatisfaction with the ticket in
certain quarters, but the editor urged it
as a democratic duty to abide by the
decision of the majority, and sustain
the ticket. The Salisbury influence
it seems prevailed in the Convention,
with the United States Senator in view.
One of the members of the convention
from below, in talking to this effect
was asked ''wsll 1 suppose you IL
tend sending Willard to Washington?
replied oh! no, sit is John F. Salisbury
we want" Bhe object of the friend:
of the latter would seem to be to pu
him in the place of Senator Geo. Gray
Such condition of things will make
the senatorial team for Kent County
John F. Salisbury and J. Edward
Addicks.

Four years ago Mr.. Cleveland was
swung into power over the heads of
politicians, as the one man of the party
uniting in himself the elements of

firm hold on the helm of the ship of
