The New York Tribune yesterday had
this to say Of a former Wilmington min
ister:
The Rev. I, NJ Haldeman, of the First
Baptist Church. Seventy-ninth street and
the Boulevard delivered the last of series
of sermons on The Second Coming OF
Christ last night. The subject of his SER
mon was "rhe Fivefold Want of the Times
and How It May Be Met"
The fivefold want, he said, was health.
happiness holiness, a better society and
the sight of God. All are necessary for
true existence, he declared.
Il don't wonder that there are so many
who believe in pantheism," he said.
"There is a great deal in it. | don't want
TO be understood as defending the creed Of
the Turk but there is great deal Of logic
and sound common-sense in pantheism.
What we want and should have is endless
life, and not this short transtory exist
cnce of seventy-five or one hundred years.
| don't want to go to heaven. | want to
stay here. I don't want to die. l want,
this body Of mine"
lie said that human society, after twen-
ty centuries Of experiment in civilization,
was still based o.. brute force, as was seen
in the large stsnding armies, prisons and
policemen.
"If you go down to Baxter street, or
Henry street, will show you he'll turned
inside out on the sidewalk. Society is rot
ten There is woman who sells her lib
erty for a home. There is another woman
who sells her liberty for a nickel on the
sidewalk, and yet some call it a good So
cicty, Down with society! That is a cry
now voiced in the very best literature and
art, and is constantly gathering force. We
want a new society of love and patience
and tenderness, health and happiness"
The second coming Of Christ, he said.
was not far distant and when that came to
pass society would be regenerated. Then
would come the remedy for the fivefold
want of the times. There would be health,
and with cessation Of pain would be happi-
ness and holiness. Then when man beheld
Christ the evils that now afilct society
would be cast away.

also keep the schools closed on next Fri

work
A number of bills were read and ordered
paid
Mr. Morrow asked If the board has given
its sanction to children begging in the
streets for money with which to buy
pianos. He moved that the board express
its dsapDroral OF such matters. He said
that he had been stopped on the streets by
children asking for money. He Understood
that parties untsde she city were at the
bottom of the scheme.
Mir. Ross said he tlrmErht it would he
well for the board to look INTO the matter.
Some school may have gone into the mat
ter innoccntly and have part pay for the
piano.
DR.. Sh0rtlidge called attention to the fart
that the board members had discussed this
matter informally and most OF those pres
ent appeared to favor such a plan The
way the matter was presented was very
tempting and appeared perfectly fair
Mr. Belts said that no one was COM
PEELED to collect. He thought, however.
that the pianos should be purchased here.
Mr. Pyle said that he had not liked the
scheme, but as other members appeared to
favor it he consented to its trial at No. |.
He said that the matter appeared likely to
extend and it might be we'll to stop it.
MIR. Baynard favored stopping the mat
ter at once. 1t has proved to be nuis-
ance. All of the newspapers and all Of
the people oppose it. The child who
proves to be the greatest beggar gets
prize. The piano man is all right, for tho
children will collect more money than a
piano is worth. He moved as a substitute
that the board prohibit pianos being placed
in the school under any such plan.
Mr.. Turner said that all of the churches
do the same thing. Each child that collects
% cents goes to a concert given.
Mr.. Raynnrd said that the men and wo-
men who give money get nothing.
DR.. Shortldes: Does not the Good Book
say that it is more blessed to give than to
receiver"
Mr. Leitch wanted the schools now try
ing to secure a piano be allowed to finish
their collections and the whole matter then
stopped.
