in an address delivered at the Church
Of the Epiphany yesterday afternoon by
the Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, bishop
Of Delaware. The occasion was the an
nual service of the Society of Colonial
Wars. which for three years has been held
at the Church Of the Epiphany. The mem-
bers, wearing the insignia Of the order,

ciety flag and 'iOld Glory"

DIR. Randolph McKim. At the Invitation

heroes: men who are teaching US what
true religion Is. living after the pattern
of Christ Among the greatest Of these
is DR. Grenfen, the man who gave up all
that fortune offered him to go and work
among the natives along the northern
coast of Labrador, teaching them to care
for their bodies and souls. Another man
whom I can mention is briggs. of my do
cese of Delaware. who gave UP his charge
to teach the meanest arts OF living to the
Eskimo In Alaska"

OBLIGATION TO GOD AND MAN
"Duty In All Relations Of Life" Theme
Of DR.. Allison.

Rev. DR.. John Lee Allison preached yes
terday morning On DUTY" and took as
his text Romans, KILT. Render unto all
their dues, tribute unto whom tribute Is
due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom
fear and honor to whom honor" He said.
in part:
DUTY begins with life and ends with
death. 1t involves q great responsibility
when viewed in the light of our eternal
obligation to God and man. It is a princi-
pie and not a policy. 1t is something due
and must be paid. Hierocles says each life
is center, circumscribed by many con-
centric circles and so the sphere of duty
becomes immense and infinite, including
every relation In life.
There is more In the commandment hon.
or thy father and thy mother than We
think. for 1t requires preserving the honor
and performing the duties belonging to
every one In their several relations and
places as superiors interiors and equals.
1.-The idea Of duty Is usually associated
with soldier life, and the museum at Ma
pies contains the helmet, lance and breast
plate of the sentinel who stood at his post
of duty in Pompeii and won the praise of
generations but the principles includes all
spheres of action as we are related to God
and humanity. Duty demands that We be
kindly affectioned one to another, with
brotherly love; In houOr preferr1ng one an
other. To interiors in age. rank and sta
ton we are, to be condescending and con-
siderate, and to our superiors reverent and
respectful. These primal duties which
shine as stars OF the first MAGNITUDE grow
out of certain relations In life. such as
husband and wife. parent and child. master
and servant, or employer and employe and
magistrates and subjects. We should rem
der to all their dues tribute to whom trib-
ute Is due, custom to whom custom, fear
to whom fear and honor to whom honor.
Much Is written today about divorce and
the marriage relation In broken on mere
technicalities, whereas there should be
strict adherence to the marriage covenant.
The duty OF the parties is to love one an
other most tenderiy and affectionately and
to endeavor to preserve domestic peace.
The sense Of chivalry and honor should
be always In the hearts of employers
toward their interiors In rank and station:
and instead of smirching the soul and
killing the best in the soul do their full
duty and even business intimacy contribute
to purity OF life and nobility Of character.
