copal church, Dr. W. F.. Tillett, dean of
the theological school of Vanderbilt, uni
versity, delivered a forceful sermon on the
qualifications of leadership in laity and
ministry, taking his text from Acts vi
to 4.
He dwelt upon the appropriateness of
studying Acts at this day and time. To-
days events constitute a new book of
acts. Some one has said that this book
might have been called the acts of the
Holy Spirit. for they bear the same re-
lation to the Holy Spirit as it does to
the gospel to Christ.
He said that the chapter under consid-
GRAFTON was especially interesting because
of its recognition of the value of the laity
in the church. The men who do lay duty
in the church contribute of their means
and services without compensation, and
they are linen Of honest report and filled
with the Holy Ghost and with wisdom"
He spoke of the misfortune of having men
in the church who are not of good re-
port and who are not honest.
The speaker took up the qualifications
OF spiritual leadership in preachers and
pastors "giving themselves to prayer and
ministry of the word" The great pur-
pose of God is the salvation of men,
the getting rid of all sin and making
man good, holy and wholly useful in
divine service. The whole duty of the
whole church is to take the whole gospel
to the whole world"
Character Of the Man.
Every sermon Is worth just so much
plus or minus the character of the man
who delivers the sermon. 1t means much
more than to fill your place, and there are
few who can claim higher work than
they are already In. However, 1t is pos
sible to more than fill place. and when
this Is true the church is sure to get
man in the right place.
God can do work through imperfect
men, but a greater and grander work
through perfect men. When He had no
better than the Athlete Sampson He con-
descended to use him and did good work
work through men like Moses, Isah, Paul
and John.
Every pastor is called upon to be
leader and he needs faith in the leader
ship of the Holy Spirit and of the guild
ance of Divine Providence in and over
the church.
There is an in-look. an outlook.
down-look and an up-loolo for every
Christian in our day. The in-look will lead
him to examine the heart and faith and
bring him into conformity with the spirit
and will of Christ.
The outlook gives him vision OF the
wide work being done among the nations
of the earth.
The down-look will take him into the
slums and homes of the lowly.
The up-look is necessary to inspire him
with faith In God and the leadership OF
the Holy Spirit.

ltwould appear that no matter what may
be the result Of the pending controversy
between the coal miners and the coal
operators, the people are in for being
mulcted through high prices for coal
The refusal of the coal operators to
advance the wages Of the soft coal miners
was met with the stern demand of the
Steel Trust for concession. The Trust
has profitable contracts on hand, and does
not want them interfered with by lack
Of coal. Therefore, using It's patronage
as club, il ordered the operators to
comply with the demand of the miners
for moro wages.
If the miners Of soft coal secure higher
wages and shorter hours Of labor as now
seems probable, it is only natural to pre-
sumo that the miners OF hard coal will
make demands for similar privileges.
II higher wages are granted the in
creased cost Of mining coal will be i'm
posed upon the consumers. II the de
mands Of the miners arc refused, and a
long and costly strike ensues, the cost
thereof will be imposed upon the people.
The truth Of this statement has been
attested upon several notable occasions.
Therefore, tho people will suffer- no
matter what the outcome may be. Either
higher wages or a strike will compel them to
pay more for coal. Truly, very dis
agreeable position 10 be in.

hy March ist 1906 rchuttal evidence was
to be concluded ly July lsi 1908, and
the commissioner was to file bis report
with The supreme Court on or before
March ist 1906
Il will thus be seen that had the Logis-
loturo refused TO surrender our contention
and permitted the proceedings to CON
tinue. the case would now be ready for
final argument before the Supreme Court
Of tho United States Il would have
been matter Of only few more months
Of waiting for the decision Of that tribunal,
which would have been determination
OF the long legal battle. We should then
have known to a certainty whether our
claim TO jurisdiction within the Twelve
mile Circle to low water mark on the
New Jersey shore was nghtful or had no
standing in law.
This great question, therefore, remains
unsettled. Il was abandoned on the
eve Of a Judicial decision. A compact
has been entered into, but that COM
pact will not free the future Of disturbing
questions New conditions have arisen,
one Of which is considered as Of vital
Importance, involving the question Of
jurisdiction over an island which has
been created in the Delaware River by
dredging operations. This island includes
nearly a thousand acres Of available ter
ritory, and its occupancy will raise the
question OF jurisdiction and taxation. In
that event, the boundary dispute is pretty
sure to be reopened, and then all that has
been done in the past, and carried almost
to the concluding point, may be, in truth,
a waste Of time and money.
The question Of what course IL will
be best to adopt for the future now be-
comes most pertinent and important.
We venture the suggestion that those
who have a deep interest in the subject,
and who are convesant with 10, and who
maintain the righteousness Of Delaware 3
claim, give il their serious consideration.

Reform In Lone Rnnnn.

"I.iSo tho poor tho graftors arc lways
with us, safaeiously observes the Morn
ing News. But lest this announcement
cause a shock, We hasten TO add that iis
reference was directed towards the CON
yiotion Of some official graftors in Toledo,
Ohio. The Morning News is deeply
interested in the cause of reform in Ohio
lin fact in every State in tho Union
save its own State of Delaware.
Because we allude to this surprising
fact occasionally, and have pointed out
how particularly lukewam our morning
contemporary has been toward the cause
Of election reform in this State, We are
accused Of deliberate mondacity" and
"bearing false witness"
But these silly charges fall before the
testimony OF our contemporary's own
columns. Il cannot call few words of
perlunctory Endorsement sincere sup
port Of the anti-bribery movement. Ii
has not yet printed tho anti-bribery pledge
or the names of the signers. 1t has taken
no part in the brief, but earnest cam

what cummins Proposes.

ln his campaign for securing a change
in the Constitution of the United States
so as 10 provide for the election of sena-
tors by the popular vote, Gov Cummins
OF Iowa does not propose to stop at vocal
agitation lie has started movement
which may lead TO practical action
Gov. Commins contemplates calling
national convention, to assemble in
Des Moines next summer. for consider
ing the matter 1t is considered highly
probable that a majority of the States
will send delegates to the convention.
The result Of this convention, therefore,
may be concerted action, directed upon
the Legislatures of the several States,
for tho calling Of a convention TO revise
the Federal Constitution.
One OF the plans for amendment laid
down by the Constitution of the United
States is this: The Congress- "on the
application Of the Legislatures Of two
thirds Of the several States, shall call a
convention for proposing amendments
which shall be "valid to all intents and
purposes as part Of this Constitution,
when ratified by tho Legislatures in
three-fourths of the several statesl, Of by
the conventions in threo-fourths thereof,
as the one or the other mode Of ratih-
cation may be proposed by the Congress. d
Thus, the Cummins plan may come
very close to call upon Congress
by the Legislatures of two-thirds Of the
several States for convention to pro-
pose amendments to the Constitution.
For the Cummins convention will come
from the people Of the States, as the
Legislatures will
However, it is hoped that no conv-
vention for the purpose Of doing over
the Federal Constitution will be called
There is no knowing what would be done
with our fundamental law in such ar
event. II is a pretty good Constitution
and has nobly stood the tests Of time anc
application. The usual method of amend
mont is slow, and it is we'll that it is. In
frequent amendments will much better
serve the purposes of the people thar
radical revision through a convention.
