centuries we see 1t sitting on the
throne of the Caesars at CONSTANT
nople, then, as now, a pivotal spot in
world affairs.
To-day is linked with Yesterday by
this lesson on the Ascension. 1t is a
story of mingled triumph and depres-
sion; of victory and Of suffering. The
departing Teacher and King commits
stoned His friends as witnesses-"mar-
tyrS' Is the Greek word--and only one
of the group died a natural death.
Alartyrdom awaited them just a few
years ahead; and now, behold. after
these nineteen centuries, we find the
Church Offering, the witness of a
greater number of martyrs than ever
before in all her blood stained history.
The land Of the Lord is still the land
of martyrdom; and within the past six
months nearly a million Armenian
Christians have followed their cru
Gifted Lord in the supreme act of tes-
timonN.
An Early Journalists Feat
A convert on the mission field once
naivelY remarked. II like the Book of
Acts best. for it is so full of real
people. The new Christians there
have their faults and stumblings, just
in this history of the early Church we
are struck by the singularly human
quality OF its pages. Its characters are
real folks, who live and feel and act
like the mortals we know. 1t is q
vivid bit of literature. and the fact that
it breaks off in the middle of things
but ads to its power: for it was writ
ten down to date. The point has often
been made that the Book of Acts was
left unfinished and is still being con-
tinued.
We know the man who wrote this
narrative, and when he wrote it and
where and what were his sources of
information. Luke, ''the beloved ply
sician," was the author, and he wrote
about SO A. D., probably in Rome,
and, it may well be, in the very hired
house" where Paul was a prisoner.
His facts he got warm from the lips
of the very men who figured in the
story. The book covers about the same

bons having City Solicitor Daniel o.
Hastings.
"When the situation is understood
when Miss Bissell's position is clear
in the minds of the decent people OF
the State. there is no doubt there will
be a popular uprising against the kind
of trickery that is being resorted to to
wipe the labor laws off the statute
books. Il is expected that the fight
will be taken up by the State Fedora
ton of Labor, that the women who are
being attacked will rally to the sup
port Of the woman who has repre-
sented them for many years and that
the line Of demarcation between the
people and the privileged few will be
more sharply drawn than at any time
in the history of the State.
Suffrage Also Involved.
The fact that Miss Bissell is an anti
suffragist, that she has been unable TO
recognize the need for the ballot in
woman's hands, has perhaps added to
the misunderstanding of the situation.
But by those who are big enough to
appreciate her. even in this matter the
sincerity Of the woman has never been
questioned. Il is probable that the
women will forget all differences on
this score, and that suffragists and
antis will unite in defending her and
in protecting the sex from the limita-
tions that the Legislature will strive
to put upon IT, The suffrage ques-
ton, according to Delaware leaders,
is as much involved in the child labor
fight as in the amendment to the
State Constitution doing away with
the sex limitation.
Emily Bissell's work for humanity
is not only known in Delaware, but in
every State where men and women
are striving to help each other by or
ganized effort. She was the prime
mover in the Red Cross stamp pro-
ject to raise funds for the anti-tuber-
culOsis fight She was the originator
of the West End Reading Room in Will
mington She is responsible for Hope
Farm. where scores OF white plague
victims have gained a new lease on
| life. She has stood head and shoulders
at the top of all social bettermeni
movements in Delaware.
The fact that the State has been
willing to believe evil of this woman
/ that Il has pilloried her and doubted
/ her judgment in a case where human
I ity was concerned, shows how the bic
| interests have smothered Delaware
beneath the oppression of their con-
troll"

NO POLICE FUND AMENDMENTS.

It was learned this morning that the
trustees of the Police Pension Fund
had abandoned all thought of present
ing any amendments to the present
act, looking towards a reduction in
the time clause of the act creating the
fund. 1t had been suggested that the
law be changed so that officers who
had served twenty years on the local
force, should be pensioned. At the
meeting of the trustees last night, no
one mentioned the matter and it was
decided not to take any action at this
this time.
