PASTOR DEFENDS
HEAVENLY RECOGNITION

Recognition in Heaven" was the
theme of the Rev. Henry Cunning
hams sermon preached in East Lake
Presbyterian Church last night. He
said there was a strong presumption
that friends would know one other in
heaven, because through all ages peo-
pie have believed it, even the heather
From Homer to the American Indian,
said the preacher, there was express
sion of this belief, showing it to be
the voice Of nature, which surely was
the voice of God. Mr.. Cunningham
quoted Bible authority for such a be-
lief. in that the Bible says in heaven
there will be greater knowledge, and
love, memory will survive, and de-
clares men will be like angels. He
finally spoke of the TRANSPORTATION
where Moses and Elijah appeared with
Christ, and were known both to each
other and to Peter, James and John.

Association suggestion follows
Shall Delaware have a Bankers AS

At the last meeting Of the Board a
resolution was adopted authorizing
me to communicate with the banks
and trust. companies OF the state on
the subject and request that they sug-
gest a time, place and plan Of bring
ing about such an organization.
The statement has been made upon
very good authority that Delaware Is
the only state in the union which has
no organization OF bankers. Surely
this is very much TO the discredit of
the entire community and should be
sufficient incentive to organize with
out delay an association that will be
not only the pride of the people of
the state, but recognized largely
throughout the country as a progres.
sive body contributing largely to the
settlement of the many broad ques'
tions now before the people ant
directly affecting the interests of the
banks and trust companies.

iect and suggesting the most available
place for bringing the bankers OF th'
