PRESBYTERY IS
AGAINST BRIBERY
Meets During Recess of
Synod in Washington and
Adopts Resolutions
WERE OPPOSED BY ELWOOD
On the Grounds of Being Too General.
Text of the Paper Presented to
Synod of Baltimore, by the New
Castle Body.

The Rev. Francis +. Moore, ID. d.,
the Rev. n. A. McCurdy and the Rev.
John Mcltlmoyle, the committee repre-
senting the New Castle Presbytery. has
presented the following resolutions to
the Baltimore Synod, now in session IN
Washington:
Your committee, appointed to for
mulate a minute fittingly expressive
OF the attitude OF the Presbytery Of
New Castle on the matter OF sins
against civic righteousness, would re-
port as follows:
I'VE have carefully and consciously
considered the subject committed to
our care. We have felt ourselves. as
loyal Presbyterians, bound by the linn
itations imposed upon US by the Con-
fession of Faith, chapter xxi. section
4. Synods and councils are to handle
or conclude nothing but that which is
ecclesiastical, and are not to intermed-
die with civil affairs, which concern
7 the commonwealth, unless by way Of
humble petition i'm cases extraordinary
Our church has consistently stood upon
that platform. While she recognizes
civil government as the ordinance of
God, she maintains the complete sep
aration of church and State knowing
well that entangling alliances with
politics and the State always result
disastrously TO the church in crippline
her moral and spiritual influence and
power.
"On the other hand we are not un-
mindful of one great function Of the
church, that Of witnessing for the truth
and against all unrighteousness. wher-
ever found. This testimony is to be
borne by the steady and unrailing pro-
clamation Of the truth as IL is I'm Jesus
the only remedy for the ills and evils
OF society, and by lives in harmony
with this truth. manifesting righteous
ness in all duties sacred and secular,
and in all relations, individual, social
and civil.
In harmony with these principles
the Presbytery Of New Castle views
with alarm the widespread and in
creasing evil, not only within our bor-
ders but throughout our country OF
the corrupt and corrupting use
by individuals and parties. O
money in furthcrauce OF their am
N bitions. resulting in the demoralizatio,
Of the community and in the debauch.
ing Of the public conscience.
i I'VE unhesitatingly and without re-
serve condemn all such practices as. sin
which is reproach TO any people. a.
crime against that righteousness which
exalteth a nation. and as a serious me-
mace to the progress of the Kingdom
of Christ.
We therefore urge the ministers and
members Of our churches. and all citi-
zens within the limits of New Castle
Presbytery TO let their influence and
their efforts Ssll to the utmost in d.
recting public sentiment against this
iniquity, and in the prompt securing OF
such effective legislation as shall re-
suit in the unhindered spread of tenn
I perance and sohriety, political morality
and Righteousness throughout our
bounds"

.LANGLEY'S AIRSHIP MODEL
MAKES A SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT

Whitewater. Va. August "a partly
successful experiment with the 15-foot
Langley airship was made yesterday
from the houseboat in the Potomac
river on this point. The aerodrome
started well in straight line south
with = velocity of 70 feet per second
and new for distance variously esti-
mated At from four to six hundred
yards. Some reflections in the wings
soon after the launching caused 1t to
take downward course which 1t fol-
lowed rapidly and was impelled into
the water under the full power of Its
engine.
There was suhicient steam generated
for a rapid flight Of q half or three
quarters Of mile. Under the full
struck the water and a moment later
had disappeared from view.
At given signal the model was dis
patched on its voyage. A better launch
ing could not have been desired The
Smithsonian scientists believed that the
highest hopes were about to be realized
but after the first few seconds of flight
the wings were DETECTED and the flying
machine went downward until her
course was ended on the mud bottom
Of the Potomac. She was travelling at
q velocity of about 40 miles an hour
When the machine was raised from the
water workman attempted to cover it
with cloth. but for long time was
unsuccessful. Its mechanism and d.
mensions were plainly seen. 1t was
equipped with four wings. two on each
side. about four by six feet. made of the
finest oil silk and held upon delicate
wooden rods. The wings were shaped
