CHRISTIANITY REQUIRES
MANHOOD. PASTOR Says

Services last night in the First
Methodist Protestant Church, Seventh
and Walnut streets, resulted in three
conversions. Mr.. Jones took for his
subject, What is the soul?" and said
in part:
"Two Of the greatest things for us
to remember is the value and peril
that Christ places on the soul.
"A man has nothing to lose by ac-
cepting Christ, but everything TO gain.
Man in his present state is lost al
ready, as sin has separated man from
God.
'Through faith in Christ the soul is
again restored In the favor of God.
Man has been created for some
thing higher than to live in sin.
ANY old coward can serve the devil
but it takes all the manhood you
possess to be a Christian.
"The mind may be all right; the
body may be all right, but is the soul
all right?
ais il well with thy mind? Yes
Is it we'll with thy body? Yes. Then
God help you to say tonight, 1T is well
with my soul

hands for prayer.

Castle County Levy Court Ripper

is asserted in certain influential quar-
ters that 1t has not been drawn, al
though it is admitted such measure
has been discussed both here and in
Wilmington.
The understanding here is that the
bad financial condition Of New Castle
county gave rise TO the suggestion
that the old court be wiped out at
once, instead of waiting two years.
and that the Governor appoint three
good business men 70 spend the next
two years getting the county out of It's
financial hole.
II is said the bill may not be offered
as so much opposition TO II has de-
velOped among the Democratic and
rural Republican members that it
probably would be defeated II offered.
Doubt is expressed in some quarters
that II even will be drawn.
