ALL-DAY SERVICES HELD AT
KINGsWOOD TO MARK THE
EVENT.
The twenty-hfth Anniversary Of
Kingswood NJ. E. Church was cele-
brated yesterday. During the day ST.
600 was raised, which will be used in
paying off the debt OF the church.
The congregation enjoyed two excel
lent sermons by Rev. S. f. Upham, OF
Drew Theological Seminary, and in the
afternoon the Sunday school held a
celebration, at which several addresses
were made.
At the morning service DR.. Upham
preached an interesting and instructive
sermon. At the celebration in the after
noon addresses were made by Chief
Justice Lore, Rev. Jabez HOdson, Rev
R. l. Watkins. Superintendent George
w. Todd, Mis-. Rinker and Miss Lille
Rinker.
The church was crowded in the even
ing. A large choir sang some excellent
music, which was feature of the ser
vice. The sermon was preached by Dr.
Upham, who took for his subject
"Paul's Words; / Know in Him I Be
lieve." He clearly showed that the
Christians were just as strong
in these days as they were in
Rome at the opening Of the Christian
era. DR.. Upham said there was no
hesitancy in Pauls saying that he
knew in whom he believed, while he
was in his cell in Rome awaiting the
coming Of the executioner.

CATION sElRvICEs-NEW OR.
GAN USED FOR THE FIRsn
TIME.
The rededication Of Asbury NJ. E
Church, at Third and Walnut streets
yesterday was one OF the notable events
in Delaware Methodism. It is one OF
the Oldest churches in the conference
being built 100 years ago.
The church has just been renovated
at cost Of over $4,000, and pledges OF
subscriptions amounting TO $6,62S
were handed in during the day by
members of the church to defray the
expenses. 1t is said that the subscrip-
ton is the largest ever received by
any Wilmington Methodist church IN
single day. Every society in the
church, and every class in the Sunday
school contributed.
The rededication sermon was preach
cd by Rev. B. l. Ives, Of Auburn. N. Y.
who took for his theme THE Glorious
Gospel Of Christ" Throughout the ser
vices an excellent musical program was
given by the choir, under the leader
ship OF william Groves. John Brown
presided at the new organ, which
pealed forth in sweet tones, adding in
spiratlon to the service.
AT the conclusion Of his discourse
DR.. Ives stated briefly that an effort
was being made to secure sufficient
monsy to pay for the improvements.
He then asked for pledges, and in
about an hour more than $500 was
subscribed. The trustees pledged ST.
900.
In the evening every seat in the
church was filled and many could not
secure admittance. The choir sang sew
eral selections prior to the sermon.
which was preached by Presiding Elder
Robert Watt. After Or. Watt had fin
isLed DR.. Ives stated that more money
was needed to insure the lifting Of the
debt, and after a short exhortation
enough subscriptions to swell the
amount to s6.62S were peldged. When
he had been assured that the money
raised was sufficient, Dr. Ives formally
rededicated the church, calling upon
Dr. Watt to make the rededication
prayer.
At the request OF members, Colonel
c. n. Leitch sang Another Glorious
Victory" the congregation joining in
the chorus. The services closed by DR..
Watt pronouncing the benediction.

WANT TO REPEAll THE LAW

1t is reported that move

lg cities in the country, having as its
inn the repeal OF the present act OF
ssembly, approved June, 1897, where
~ the tax upon the capital stock OF
Ilese institutions was made to apply
p the book instead of the market

Then the law was passed there was a
rowing sentiment against corpora

effectively nor individually at that
me offered any opposition to the act.
1t since it became effective feeling
antagonism TO it has developed in
,me quarters.
1t is stamped as an injustice on the
'cund that in some instances it
ubles the tax heretofore paid. BY the
)ok value the tax is levied on the
lnlTs capital, surplus and undivided
offs. This, it is claimed, is an un-
ir valuation because the stock never
'ings in excass of the open market

I'VE the act repealed. No concen-
ated action by the banks has ben
ken, nor has the influence Of the

)n been solicited.
Several banking officials expressed
cir views on the matter and it is
obable that definite action will not
taken until after the assem-
ing Of tho Legislature in January
