A we'll known fisherman residing over
Eleventh street bridge, Monday morning
told the thirteen gentlemen who made the
annual inspection of the Cherry Island
Marsh banks that there was MANN 9th
German carp between the banks of the
sluice that runs from Shellpot creek into
the bitches that has a head on IL as large
as mans and which would measure
from one end of the tips of his fingers to
the other Extending both arms at full
length to show its size) and which would
weigh one hundred pounds or more. He
with other fishermen had seen the monster
fish and had made several attempts to cap
ture 1t.
Thus far all of their efforts have proven
In vain, as the fist has managed to elude
all their snares for his capture. You
can see 1t at low water splashing around
between the two water ways trying in
vain to get to deep water. 1t Is supposed
to have gone in between the four inch
iron bars when it was somewhat smaller
in size, and failing to make its exit has
been imprisoned in this narrow contine
and grew to its present size until now it
Is unable TO make Its way out again.
I'VE should like to see this fish caught
and placed in Mr.. William Lawton's store
window on exhibition. The frog concert
was also in evidence on piece of the
marsh land owned by the Delaware Con.
structlon Company, which sounded as II
az least million of these deieCtabie ar.
tlclus of diet were out singing their song
called by the boys more room, more

Rep'Y to john W. Uny,

Mr., Day takes exception to the cOmmu-
nicatiOn concerning MI Lebanon parsou-
uge. which appeared in your columns of
the cath inst, signed Justice. He says it
was well the writer used the WORT some"
us the article only contained some facts,
and sono things that were not facts.
Maybe so, from his point Of view We are
willing to let the public judge as to that.
Mr. Day says no Christian gentleman
shDHld or would have paraded this matter
before the public
We think Us 1t was pubic matter, the
public should have boon we'll informed of
what was going on Mr. Day says the
house now occupied by the church rs par
sonugo is owned by the Messrs. Dupont
ind the rent is one year in arrears This
is true, but it Is not the first time, and it
has been paid, and SO will this be paid.
We are also told the house in Question
would be much cheaper than the Mes5rs.
DUPONT property, Nothing is cheap you
don't want,
Mr.. Day says the Trustees were fearful
that the Jones house would fail into The
hands of one who would fiji 1t with Ital.
ians very considerable indeed, but bet.
ter be Italians from Il matter of choice
than Mt. LcbanOn's preacher by way of
Cumpulsion.
Mr.. Days communication tells us that
the matter of the purchase OF the Jones
property was brought up before the official
Board of said Church and the whole Board
with one SlnRle exception We're in favor Of
purchasing the Jones property for Par
sunagc.
If this be true will some one toll us how
1t is that there isH remunstrancO gotten
up against it and signed by nearly seventy
persons including two trustees CIt of six,
and eight stewards out Of ten. We said
in our letter that there were only Il few
opposed to it but say now that we buliove
there are only Il very few in favor II such

Yesterday afternoons Lenten service al
st. Andrews Church was conducted by
Rev. X. A. Sawyer who took his text
from Psalms, o, l6: '"Ihe wicked is
SHARED in the work Of his own hand"
Among other things DR.. Sawyer said:
"The world Ia unwilling to believe that
the punishment for sin Is the result Of a
Divine ediot issued not by tyrannical,
despotio, cruel God, but ordained by God
of Justice and love as the natural result
of the infraction OF His spiritual laws.
The Judgment OF God which follow as
sequence to sin are the very back ground
of the Gospel. Sin Is no delusion and no
human remedy can possibly be its cure.
A life attached to God Is godly, and II life
away from God, no matter what virtues 1t
may possess IL absolutely without spirit
ual connection II the aims and purposes Of
the heart are worldly.
. 1t IL the fashion to ,decry the preaching of
future punishment. Human pride asserts
itself and says why may not live as
please think as please, act as please; it
will be all right by and by This is where
the false philosophy works its OWL. 1t Is
impossible for mon to go on rebelling
against the spiritual laws which God has
laid down for the welfare Of the soul and
escape punishment"
