rev. sansnsi Mooge, cur beloved
psstor, broke ont in bitter TRADE Of

against high society In Einsviile. or

ferred 10 among the local swell set.
at MS sermon last Sunday morning. His
text was as follows: take no thousiit
OF what ye shall wear"
3 The Rev. Moore IL not as poplar
now among the social leaders as he was
before he got of that sermon. A par
son can generally keep on speskis'
terms with the members of his flock
until he begins to tell them the truth
right to their faces. Then they get
rlied and begin to kick over the traces.
The Rev. Moore said that II give him
q deep-seated pain 10 obseyve that GER
tain members Of his herd give more
thoaght to what they wcuid wear to
church than to salvation. He said there
would be some excuse for this II sal
vaeicn was expensive, bat the salvation
was fgee--and is yet. He said anybody
needing salvation eouid pganee right up
to the riourners' bench and get all ct
il they could use for the asking.
He said some of the social lions OF
Bingvilie thought more about new 81
hat than they did about the welfare of
their immortal souls. This was lab

society, who recently got new fali
hat at the county seat. Amelia was set

made this statement. She at once
jumpt up and sailed out of the church.
slasaning the door behind her. Amelia
says she will never sing in the choir
again until the Rev. Moore apologies
to her.
The Rev. Moore also denounced cards
and dancing. He said these two evils
done more, Ia his opinion, to divert the
thoughts Of Bingviiie boys and girls
from higher things than most anything
else he could think Of. He said he
knowed of one instance where the
guests ct q Bingviiie social funkshion
staid tsp till 9 p. m playing "arthurs,"
and that as far as dancing was con
eeYned, II was only a foolish waste Of
time. and that il generally het young
folks all up until they caught colds in
Ihetr neAds. i ne PSISOu sdiu nc uau no
objections to a tafy pull, although he
could not eonshienshiousiy indorse kiss
ing games. He concluded by hoping
that his. sermon would have a good
eiEeelSt on the society leaders Of Bing-
vile.
We do not exactly agree with the
Rev. Moore. II leopie took no thought
Of what they should put on they
wouldn't be fit TO be saw In our streets.
Some Of the savage tribes of the earth
don't take no thought Of What they
shall wear, and the result 10 that they
amt hardly kt to appear in pubiick.
We can't see no especial harm in dane

and as far as cards is eoneerned-well,
there amt anything that appeals to US
in this line like a nice quiet game of

GEORGETOWN, Del. Nov. 29--With
their heads bowed In prayer at an early
meeting. the congregation OF the Meth

that their church was on FIRE until

that the roof was a mass Of flames.
The little congregation struggled In a
bewildered manner TO the door and
there saw that their church was

Headed by their pastor. the Rev. =.

escaped with their lives as the roof
crashed in, and James McGlothen, a
well known business man, was scraped
with the falling timbers, badly burn
ing his face and hald. Others were
burned. but not seriously.N
The FIRE was discovered by two
churchgoers about 10 o'clock. who say
that the flames burst out from the
roof as If an explosion had taken
place In a moment the roof was O
mass OF flame and It was then that
the little band OF worshippers inside
were notified. The roof soon fell in
making a mass of burning timherl
inside that the hremen could not fighi
and which soon burned the walls OF
the building.
Amid the excitement the pastor re
manned calm, and as the church wa
passing up in smoke announced that h

from a defective fue and is suppose,
to have begun yesterday afternoon
when a fire was kindled for a chill
