ON
FRATERNITY TAXATION
ATTEMPTS BEING MADE TO COMPROMISE

Council, however, authorized the
bill and had same presented to the
General Assembly. At the meeting
last night held at the home Of Eben
Frazer, letters from other college
towns were presented showing prac-
tice of taxation. 1t is understood
that Council made a proposition to
the fraternities that if they permit
ted the bill to pass Council would
assess them for only nominal tax
for the next two years. 1t is not
known what action the fraternities
will take. Information from Dover
says that there is considerable op-
position to the bill and that it may
have bearing on other Newark
legislation. 1t is thought today,
however, by those interested that
compromise will be effected.
1t is generally admitted that the
conference should have been held
before Council took official action.
Council claims sufficient reason for
it's action, however, but refused to
talk for publication until the re-
suit Of the conferences was made
known.

Death Of Reverend
Hugh Charles Mcbride

This community was deeply
grieved last Thursday to hear of
the death of Rev. Hugh Charles
Mcbride. in the Frankford Hospi-
tial, Philadelphia, following an op-
GRAFTON for appendicitis, which was
performed on Monday. At the
time of his death Mr.. Mcbride was
pastor of Disston Memorial Presby-
t2rian Church, Tacony, Pa, and it
was while preaching in that church
on January "a that he was stricken
with appendicitis. Mrs. Mcbride
nd two daughters, Louise and Eliz-
abeth, survive, also Mr.. Mcbride s
mother, Mrs. William Mcbride,
who made her home with her son.
The father is dead.
Though a native Of Ireland, Rev.
Hugh G. Mcbride, who was "a
years old, passed most of his life
in Delaware, his parents coming to
Wilmington when he was a young
child. He was a member of Rod
ney street Presbyterian Church
(now Westminster) and with the
backing of that church and through
his own efforts acquired a thorough
education, graduating from Lafay-
cite College and Princeton Theo-
logical Seminary. Upon his grad
uation from the latter, in 1906, he
became pastor of White Clay Creek
Presbyterian Church, which he
served faithfully for three years,
going to Disston Church, Tacony,
in 1909. Under his leadership the
congregation had more than dou-
bled and the church was prosper
Gus in every way. He made many
friends in the community.
In December, 1918, Mayor Blank
enburg laid the cornerstone of the
manse, which Mr.. Mcbride made
social and religious center for his
neighborhood. Before the Sunday
meetings began he held a monster
gathering of men, which resulted
in a delegation Of 1000 from Tao
ony appearing on Wednesday night
at the Sunday tabernacle.
He was a member of the Enter
prise Assembly of Artisans, and

On account of pending confer
ences between representatives OF
Council and the several fraterni-
ties, we are unable to give article
mentioned last week, on the Taxa
ton Bill now before the General
Assembly. Mayor Hossinger and
Eben B. Frazer, who were appoint
ed by Council to act as the Legisla-
tive Committee held a conference
with the Faculty members Of the
fraternities last week. Last even
ing another conference was held
with student representatives. The
student members Of the fraterni-
ties will meet this evening to con-
slider the proposition Of the Coun-
Gil. Neither side would give any
information this morning and in
fact withdrew statements made
earlier in the week. Both sides will
be presented next week. Early in
the agitation before Council took
action, the fraternities offered to
present the bill themselves four
years from now, claiming that un-
til that time, it would work a hard
ship on the younger fraternities'

Local Contractor
Receives Big Contract

L. B. Jacobs, local contracting
engineer, has been awarded the
contract for remodeling the plumb
ing at the Government Hospital for
the Insane at Washington. The in
teresting part of this award is the
fact that Mr.. Jacobs won the job,
not on a competitive bid but based
on merits Of previous work done
for several departments of the
Government. Considering the rigid
inspection made on all work Of this
nature this is no small compliment
to the local contractor.
Mr.. Jacobs will begin work at
once on this $4,000 contract.

chaplain Of the Grand Lodge Of
Artisans. Also he belonged to
Hiram Lodge, A. F. & A. M, Of
Newark; the Henry Disston Lodge
Of Odd Fellows, and Tacoma Tribe,
No. 277, Red Men.
Many members Of the White
Clay Creek congregation, where the
deceased was greatly beloved, at
tended the funeral held in the Dis
ston Memorial Chapel on Monday.
The funeral sermon was preached
by DR.. Robert Hugh Morris, pastor
Of the Central North Broad Pres
byterian Church, Philadelphia. DR..
Morris and the dead minister were
classmates at Princeton Theological
Seminary, from which they were
graduated in 1906. When Mr.. Nc
Bride married, it was DR.. Morris
who performed the ceremony.
When each Of his two children
were baptized, it was the same
friend who officiated. Thus DR..
Morris presided on some Of the
most important occasions in his
friends life.
Ten thousand persons filed
through Disston Church to view
the body of the dead pastor as it
lay in state from two o'clock Mon
day until nine o'clock at night.
Two members Of the Mems Bible
Glass Of the church, stood guard.
They were relieved hour by hour.
Services were held both in the
afternoon and night The bene-
diction was pronounced by Rev. DR..
Dobert A. Edwards, rector Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Holy Innocents, and resolution,
signed by all the clergymen of
Tacony, regardless of their denom-
national affiliations, was read. In
it they deplored the death of the
popular minister. Among other
clergymen at the funeral were Rev.
George H. Hemingway, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
Camden, N. j.; Rev. Edward Trip
lett, pastor of the First Presbyter-
ian Church Of Woodbury., N. j.:
and Rev. A. Biemuller, pastor of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church
of Tacony, who read the resolution.
The body was brought to Whining

they remained as Christians.
The sins, with which these peo-
pie were beset, were the very sins
into which Satan had sought to
lead the Divine Savious at the
temptation in the wilderness. AS
The Christ, in the Name Of God,
overcame the tempter and rose to
the righteous life Of God, so these
must be taught to overcome with
Him and rise to the same divine
life. After the analogy Of Christ s
wilderness experience, the Lenten
Fast of forty hours was extended
to forty days, and made disciplin-
ary for the simple purpose of driv-
ing home the deep truths of the re-
ligion which these converts had so
lightly professed. First,-they
were to fast,-fast rigidly,-not as
a virtue in itself, but to teach them
to guard against the abnormal in
dulgences Of natural appetites.
This struck at sensuality, immoral
ity, and excesses Of every kind.
Second-a form of aims giving
was enjoined. This touched selfish
ness in it's varied forms. In en-
forced the principle Of self-denial,
which has for it's object justice,
even to generosity. 1t taught that
to build up private interests at the
expense Of another is wrong; that
Christians must help rather than
hinder, oppress, or neglect weaker
brethern.

tions, multiplied services for in
struction in the word Of God, and
for the deepening of the life of
worship.

THE HISTORY of LENT
LEN7,EN CALENDAR At ST. THOMAS

The celebration Of Easter, and
the observance of Lent fast before
it, date back to the days of the
Holy Apostles. The great Bishop
Of Lyons, in France, st. Irenaeus,
in one of his letters, writes of the
observance Of Lent, in this way:
"It has not originated in our time,
but long before in that of our an
cestors. " st. Irenaeus was born in
13O A. d., just thirty years after
the death Of st. John. He was the
disciple Of st. Polycarp, and the
latter was the disciple of st. John.
If this pious custom originated
"long before" st. Irenaeus in the
time Of his ancestors it is evil
dent that it dates back to the era
of the Holy Apostles, and the many
fasts mentioned in the New Testa-
ment doubtless have reference to
this solemn Fast.
In the earliest years of the
Church the Lenten Fast was
purely devotional, without any sug-
gestion of that discipline which is
now the central idea of it. 1t was
shorter, also, in duration, begin
ming Good Friday afternoon and
ending Easter Morning,-forty
hours. It's purpose was the rever-
ent commemoration Of the sacrifice
and death Of Jesus Christ. It was
to keep fresh in the hearts of His
people, and to perpetuate in the
hearts of their children, their sor-
row for the sin, which caused
Christ s death, and thankful rec
ognition of the benefits flowing
from His sacrifice on the Cross.
This was the age Of the persecu-
tions, when faith was strong and
spiritual fervor was deep; when,
those who became members of the
Church did so at the risk of their
lives and none became Churchmen
except such as were sincerely and
devoutly in earnest.
The era of the Nicene Council.
the Fourth Century saw this condi-
tion changed. The Emperor Con-
stantine became a Christian. He
made Christianity the state reli-
gion. From the scorn and con-
tempt Of past years Christians were
raised to preferment and honor. 1t
was no longer necessary to worship
in the secrecy Of Catacombs ana
Caves. Magnificent churches were
built by the Emperor command,
and the Christian religion became
fashionable and popular. Thous-
ands entered the Church, not be-
cause they were touched and moved
by their love for Jesus Christ; not
because they aspired to the holi-
ness of the Christ life, but simply
to share the honors of popular
movement.
The effect of this on the spiritual
life Of the Church is easily guessed.
The fervor and devotion of Apos-
tolic days were lost. The lust Of
the world swept into the Church.
The multitudes, who rushed into
the Church, because it was now
popular, were but nominally Chris
tians. Their hearts were untouched.
Their lives were unchanged. They
proundly said they were Church
men, but they were in woeful ig-
sorance of what that obligation i'm
piled. Selfish, sensual, worldly
