GOD CAN NEVER
FORGET FIDELITY
So Says Pastor Nicholson in
Sermon in First M. P.
Church

Rev. J. e. Nicholson, Of the First NJ
p. Church, Seventh and Walnut streets,
preached an impressive sermon at the
morning services yesterday on the theme
Fidelity Rewarded" His text was from
Joshua 14:14, Hebron therefore became the
inheritance of Caleb-because that he fol-
lowed the Lord God of Israel The theme
was presented as illustrated in the history
of Caleb, who was given Hebron and the
region around IL as a reward for follow
ing the Lord fully for so many years
Rev. Mr.. Nicholson said:
There is a vast difference between fully
and partly following the Lord. There is
a great difference IN our feelings as we
stand by the river shore and the seattle
one is circumscrlbed. the other practically
unlimited. You easily gauge a half and
half christian as 20 his liberalty in moral
support and financial assistance, but YOU
cannot measure the faithful whole-hearted
servant Of the Lord. You can form no
idea of the Divine energies locked up in
his nature ready to be used for the good
Of the cause. when needed.
Whom Caleb said; Let us go up and
possess the land it was no idle boast.
but his courage was tested by seven Yeas
OF fighting. God can never forget ndei ty
on the part Of His people. and will surrey
reward It, and give them at last the
promised land and place with the
'ransomed Of the Lord'-the sacramental
host-the blood-washed throng.
"rhe faith Of tho believer sustains his
courage; he contends with foes more
formidable than giants-the world. the

can only be overcome by assistance from
the Great Helper OF men, Jesus Christ. the
Saviour. Who has promised the necessary
help, IL we are faithful to Him and His
cause. Let us have courage to speak for
Jesus anywhere, and act for Him always.
More bravery is needed to face a ieering
and scornful world than to face the
blaying Caesar. Let us never be weary IN

40 years for his reward; it was 40 years
after Daniels trial before his elevation

Salisbury MiSrepreSented

The Every Evening of Wilmington,
Del, recently published what purported
to be interviews from the business men
of Salisbury, as to the effect the clos
ing of the saloons had on business and
morals. 1t would be hard to picture a
more over-drawn and false statement
Of facts and inferences which the re-
porter of the Every Evening drew from
some of those interviewed. As a matter
of fact If an unbiased and truthful
man was sent through our city to find
out the situation as IL exists to-day,
he would find that the sentiment in
favor of no whiskey is much stronger
than ever before, after the good effects
of doing away with ii have been seen
and recognized. We do not think il any
eXaggeration when we say that we be-
lieve 80 per cent. of the business men
in this town are opposed to its ever
being sold here again, both from a
business and a moral standpoint. As
to there being more drunkenness here
now than under the license system of
selling intoXicants. the charge is so
absurd that if it had not been published
in papers away from here and sown
broadcast in every paper in Delaware
for the purpose of eXerting an influence
in favor of whiskey and it's evils, it
would not be worth noticing. Anybody
at all, whiskey or temperance man.
who has any regard for the truth. and
any power of observation, will tell
you that the sight of a drunken man
on our streets is an unusual occurrence

at times to get up and down them for

Members Of the jamestown Commits
sion held meeting in the parlors of
the Clayton House this morning and
discussed plans for a Delaware Day
at the fair The commissioners are all
at sea as to what the plans of the
Commission at jamestown are regard
ing the celebration although the local
commissioners have mapped out all
their plans for the day. In order that
some definite knowledge may be OBJ
tanned General I. Pusey Wickersham
and State Senator David c. Rose were
appointed a committee to go to James,
town and ascertain the entire program
for the day.
They will leave Wilmington this
evening for the South and upon their
return an entire official program will
be prepared and sent out. The COM
mittee received it's first communion
tion this morning from down the State
setting forth those who might attend
Delaware Day but as nothing definite
was forthcoming no action was taken
on it. Official invitations will be sent
out by the Commission tomorrow to
.Delawareans to take part in the oele-
bration.

meeting and there were present mem
bers of the commission as follows

BIDS FOR FILTER
ARE NOT OPENED

favor Of the sand filtration system.
Mr.. Shaw said he stin believed the sand
filtration system to be the best.
Mr. Ford continued to discuss the ac-
tion, to which he was opposed. He
pointed out that representatives. of diff
ferent bidders were present, and had
gone to much expense to prepare esti-
mates.
Four sealed bids had been received.
ut is a question now Of whether new
filters ever will be built, as was stated
in THE EVENING JOURNAL about a
month ago.
Shoul dthe filters not be constructed,
il is believed the Water Commission
will expend tho money in buying the
Lea water rights along the Brandywine.
There is not enough money available
to buy the water rights and construct
a filter plant at the same time. BY
holding up the filtration system the
commission could buy the water rights
for 100000.
Evening journal., 1907-09-30

When the Water Commissioners met this
afternoon to open bids for the oonstruc-
ton Of a new fltcr plant a surprise was
sprung Vten Mr.. Knox moved to post
pone indefinitely the opening Of BIDS
President Shaw seconded the motion. and
it prevailed.
Mr.. Ford asked a reason for this ac-
tion, and Mr.. Knox replied that it was
because Of the unfinished condition of
the present water system and the prelimi-
nary filter plant and also because Of his
uncertainty as TO whether sand nltrat on
was the best system for removing the bac-
erla and impurities from water.
Mr.. Ford said he was surprised at this.
He said he could understand how Mr.
Knox, new member, mi sht not b. fully

tenn, but he remarked that Mr.. Shaw had

threshed out and Mr. Shaw was then ir

In view of the fact that our friends
of the License Committee seem particu-

statements, probably the following cor

no doubt, help to enlighten the general

thoritative sources will be published
from time to time:
