REV. G. c. HUNTING
DELIVERS SERMON
BEFORE THEEAGLES

Sunday being the day set apart by
the Fraternal Order of Eagles on
which TO hold memorial services for
those departed during the previous
year, the order attended service at
St Bartholomew, church in a body.
Rev. G. c. Hunting preached SER
mon for the occasion from the text.
so teach us to number our days
that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom. Psalm 90:12. He said in
part: 1t is good thing for men to
stop in the busy hour and as the
psalmist says. consider the days of
old and the years that are past" We
are able TO live today as today de-
mands only because We have made
right use of the experiences of yes
terday. 1t is the part of wisdom to
think of yesterdays and the lessons
taught and apply them today As
we consider the days gone by there
come into view perforce those fact
that have preceded us on the path
of life. Those lives that we com
monty term dead are not dead but
living and living just a little ahead
of us. | cannot explain to you the
great mystery of death, but | can
assure you that death is not extinc-
ton or humiliation or absorption
into the universe. I know that death
is mere transition. 1t is an Incl
dent in life only. This period be-
tween Easter and Ascension Day is
one peculiarly appropriate for the
consideration of the subject of life
in death. Because this period exists
isiproof that death is not the end for
in this time Christ appeared to His
followers and proved to. them that
He was not dead but living again.
Today you Irvine myrtle and for
get-me-nots in the chairs of those
who have gone before. Myrtle for
the love you bore them and that they
bore you, that affection that made
their lives and your lives brighter.
The forget-me-not that you have in
mind their good deeds, their kind |
words, their ambitions, their hopes. |
But ii is not enough to honor them t
today in words and in flowers. You
honor their memory most by living |
up to the principles of your frater-
nifty.
Liberty is and never can be license.
We too often think of liberty as
merely political liberty.
That is but one of many phases of
liberty Your forefathers came to
this country that they might have
liberty, but the liberty that they most
desired was liberty TO worship God.
And liberty to worship God means
o worship and not leave Him alone.
You are taught truth. But truth

by maintaining in the Pacific Ocean
an adequate fleet of war vessels.
Unuasal interest has been displayed
In this proposition and the people
are thoroughly aroused % the nee
essity of preserving the commercial
supremacy of the Pacific Ocean to the
United States by such means. The
committee in futhering its work has
issued the following letter:
In the past the Atlantic has been
the home of the American navy,
while the Pacific fleet has been in
name only, it having consisted of a
few cruisers and gunboats. Recently,
however, the importance of the Pa
cific. both commercially and strategi-
cally, has been recognized, and while
in the past the custom has been to
speak of the Pacific coast as the back
door of the United States, that day
is now past and our house has two
doors. Besides this. our important
over sea possessions are in the Pa
cific These possessions and this
commerce must be afforded protec-
ton, and such protection can only
be given by the means of an adequate
naval force.
1t is believed that this matter
properly presented to the administra-
ton at Washington, will result in the
maintaining of such a force in Pacific
waters. and the California promotion
committee has taken up the matter
through its various agencies and con-
nections, not only throughout Cal
iornia, but throughout Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Utah. Nevada and
Arizona. The various commercial
organizations throughout these states
west of the great Rocky Mountains
water shed-together with the COM
mercial organizations of the terri
tory of Hawaii, Alaska and the Phil
ippines-have been invited to CO.
operate with the committee in this
matter, by addressing a request to
the secretary of the navy, couched
in the following terms:
We respectfully petition for
proper and adequate naval protection
for the Pacific coast of the United
States.
We realize that with the con-
stantly growing commerce of the
Pacific, this ocean is to be the scene
of the future struggle for commercial
supremacy and that to no nation is
this supremacy more essential than
to the United States.
I'VE realize that the Pacific coast
of the United States is in such un.
protected condition that incalcuable
damage could be done to the nation
: and more especially to that part OF
it lying on the Pacific ocean, by q
foreign enemy, before an adequate
feet for protection and defense could
be Modified on Atlantic waters and
sent to Pacific waters.
Therefore we respectfully pra,
, that you will. in the exercise of You
authority order that there be main
tanned permanently upon the Pacin,
ocean a fleet of warships consisting
of not less than twelve first elias,
battleships and eight armoret
, cruisers"

Kent county, Delaware, is investigating
graft charges that have been made against
some of the county officials, notably the
Sheriff. ard evidence points that that~ofi-
cial profited by numerous overcharges and
r4ke-offs in the matter of board for
tramps committed to Jail. 1t appears the
Sheriff has overcharged the county be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. 1t is asserted
the Constables were in the game also.
The method of procedure was by sham
arrests and sentenced. Tramps would be
arrested and sentences to jail for term
of two weeks or thirty days, as the case
might be, but were released after two or
three days in jail, and the full amount of
board charged in the Sheriff's bill. The
taxpayers Of the county should take a
hand and have the guilty Constables and
Sheriff sent to the penitentiary for a
while, and see to it that they get their
full term behind the bars.
