and mind and in the service of the
Master. He reviewed the history of
Grace Church and told how the church
had raised $550,000 during the first 25
years Of its history. He thought that

in the church. The founders, all of
whom are dead were: j. Taylor Cause

Continuing with the historical sketch
Mr.. Heisler said that In 1864 the first
service was held In the chapel. A fine
tribute was paid to each of the minis
ters who has served a pastorate at
Grace Church.
In his response, DR.. Craig expressed
appreciation of the cordial welcome.
He said that since he began his min
istry in Ontario he had found such
loyal welcome everywhere. He was
pleased, he said, to know how Method
istieal Delaware was, and he spoke of
some Of the ministers of Grace Church
who have been we'll known. He was
satisfied that the spirit which had
founded Grace Church was continuing
its great Christian service He pledged
his interest in all the departments of
the church. In closing he said: 81
am here as your minister and that
means service. The parsonage is
yours, and we viii expect you there
on all occasions"
DR.. Hoffecker welcomed the new
pastor on behalf of the Wilmington
Conference. He emphasized the SPLEEN
did organization of the Methodist
Church, saying the Methodist Church
was every year increasing it's power
to make Christians.
After the addresses, there was a
social hour. and refreshments were
served. The young men of the church
we're the walters. Grace Sunday

SECY. WILSON
ON THE COAST

PORTLAND, July 23.-James Will
son, Secretary of Agriculture, arrived
in this city tonight from Seattle and
almost his first act, after his arrival
in Portland, was to make a statement
of significance to the West.
The Secretary said that he had ia
ken personal charge of the forestry
service, and declared 1t his intention
to open up for settlement all lands
now within the Government forest
reserves which are suitable for agri-
culture and do not run over 1000 feet
of timber to the acre.
Secretary Wilson is on his inspec-
ton tour of the West and will re-
main in Portland until Monday.
"The forest reserve Withdrawals
were hastily made" said Wilson, "and
there is much land within their
boundaries as they at present exist
that is more valuable for agricultural
purposes than for the timber, Five
or six million acres of this class of
land will be eliminated this summer

will be himself in a short time.
There is no good reason why JEFF
fries should not try to wipe out his
defeat" said Berger. my confident
opinion is that he would whip John
son ally day in the week. 1t wasn't
a question of coming back when JEFF
fries stepped into the ring at Reno.
Jeffries was all in when he went into
that fight He was a nervous wreck.
Gleason explained that before sign
ing the fight articles Jeffries wanted a
clause put in which would make him
free to have couple of fights before
his meeting with Johnson The pro.
moters were willing, but as Johnson
asked the same thing they feared that
possibly the colored champion would
grow reckless and either stumble in
to defeat or else injure himself, so
they decided to keep both out of the
ring
Berger now thinks that a real bout
before the fight would have put JEFF
fries in far better trim than he was.
