PASTOR HOPKINS
DEFENDS CHURCH
Says Its Virtues Exceeds It's
Defects and Believes All
Should be Friendly
URGES MEMBERSHIP IN BODY

"a Defense OF the Church" was tho
subject OF an interesting sermon by the
Rev. T. J, Hopkins in Delaware Avenue
Baptist Church last night. ''The church
cannot be partisan in spirit. since It is
called to minister to all" was his reply
TO critics OF the church, dissatisfied be-
cause they did not have It's favor against
others Mr. Hopkins said in part:
There is "a tendency In certain quarters
today 10 ignore the Church Of Christ.
Some people pretend 10 feel that It can
perform little or no services for them.
and hence they disregard It almost en-
tirely. The only time il is permitted to
minister to such people Is in sickness
of death
Sometimes the iaboring man stands
aloof from the church because Il does not
champion his cause as against his en-
ployer. But such smen forget that the
church cannot be partisan IN spirit
since II is called to minister to all. It's
duty is TO preach righteousness and con-
denim wrong wherever found but Il
must be impartial. showing special favors
to neither rich nor poor.
Another class find fault with the
church because IL IS imperfect Wen,
the church does not claim perfection; II
has perfection as its ideal. Now and
then small sect OF misguided Christ
ians arise that claim sinlessness. ana
these join in with a critcizing world and
point out imperfections In the larger
bodies Of Christ's followers. imperfec-
tlons which thoy unconsciously possess
to an equal or even greater degree them
selves. ! have but one word 10 say TO
such people. They may be sincere. but
arc certainly ignorant as to their own
moral attainments and the Scriptural
teachings on the subject OF perfection.
And so far as the criticism OF uncon-
verted men IS concerned. let me say this,
] have no apologies to make for some
Christians; they could, perhaps be bet.
ter than they arc: and yet 1 do not
know with what terrible natural and
acquired tendencies they fight But IN,
church as whole needs no apology. Lei
Il not be forgotten that It gets its mem
bers from the world imperfect. and tina
Il IS on account OF previous worldly n
fuence tbat polishing the stono is oftei
so long and dinicuit a process. Tn

proceeded at once to the scene Of the sup

ing this morning on the question Of the
right OF tho department to enter into a
contract with private Individual or cor
poration for the erection Of filter plant
from whom the city could buy its water
supply and secure an option to purchase
the plant at future time.
AS a mater OF fact. no opinion was
expected from the city solicitor. because
the matter was never referred to him. At
meeting OF the Water Board sometime
ago at least two members OF Il, Messrs.
Ford and Shaw. expressed themselves that
an opinion on the matter from the city
solicitor would be biased and for that
reason these two members passed a mo-
tion giving the president Of the board au-
thority to employ counsel to furnish an
opinion. Mr. Knox. the Republican meme

and voted against lt.

When this section was brought TO tho
attention OF Mr. Shaw this morning. he
said he was aware OF it's existence but
with a smile he said: "That does not pre-
vent us from paying counsel out Of our

feel much like employing special counsel

Mr.. shaw was asked whether the COM

decided upon and he replied no; that the
filter question had only recently been
taken up.

Big Fund on Saturday.

Saturday was tag day in Worcester.

counted contributions up 70 a late hour
Saturday night that footed up close to
$4,000. This was all collected in "a
hours. but the system that planned and

siderably more than "a days getting
ready for It.
The fund from tag day in Worcester
is for the building Of a new hospital.
over 1000 women helped TO make the
day a success. Many large contribu-
tions were received, one Of these being
for $4,000. The mayor OF Worcester Sc
cured one hundred crisp dollar bills
from his bank early in the day, and
spent all for tags before night. There
were many Others who contributed
wit hequal liberality
This may be encouraging news 10 the

IN this city, who have planned TO have
tag day In Wilmington on Saturday
next. OF course il is not expected TO
raise such a large sum here, but the
women should easily raise a thousand
dollars or more to assist the charity
for which they are working.
