Apropos Of tire recent Americaniza-
tion Day celebration and the fact
that among the new Americans vel
coined 70 our citizenship on that oc-
casion was woman-Miss Mary A.
Ospina-two interesting questions
have arisen, whose merits II seems
worth while 10 investigate.
The FIRST relates 10 the action Of the
Equal Suffrage Association OF VIII
mington appearing before the Ameri-
canization Day Committee TO ask for
recognition in ceremonies incident to
the welcome. planned. as the invita-
ton read. "in honor Of the newly
naturalized American citizens" and,
note the next clause, "for those who
contemplate becoming American clti-
zens"
The meaning of these words seem
ed unmistakeabla. and for women
who had reached years Of under
standing anu we're no longer in
fants" in the sight Of the law, II seem
ed natural 10 suppose that the logical
mind of man needed but to have
their practical application pointed
out, to act az once on the suggestion
OF the suffraeists that they be ex-
tended, through their representatives.
an official invitation TO be present at
the ceremonies, as guests Of the
Americanization Day Committee.
No other day IN the calendar prob
ably makes q stronger appeal to suf-
fragists than does the Fourth Of July
The date selected for this purely
patriotic celebration Governments
their just powers from the consent
of the governed declares that i'm
mortal documont-the Declaration Of
independence adopted on the Fourth
of July. l776 As women are govern
ed along with the rest Of mankind,
they quote The above unmistakable
language and take advantage Of every
legitimate opportunity OF pointing the
way 10 their inalienable rights.
II was hari for the Equal Suffrage
Association Of Wilmington. which has
been a part Of our city's life since
1895, 10 conceive that n body OF wom-
en- who have shown themselves 10 be
alive to all that citizenship in this
great country means. should be as
completely overlooked or forgotten in
this day and generation. as were their
foremothers In 1887 when 1--WE. the
people OF the United States. in order
10 form q more perfect union. estab-
lish Justice oto.. "and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity," did "ordain and es-
tablish" Constitution for the
United States of America" which.
while IL completely ignored one-half
the human race. recognized the possi-
bility of its own inadequacy for all
time and happily made provision for
its own amendment.

REV. ]. H. CRAWFORD
breaches SERMON

Making Light of sin." was the
sermon subject last night of the Rev.
j. II. Crawford. pastor Of Central
Presbyterian Church. who was the
principal speaker at Interdenomina-
uonal services, which were held in the
First Presbyterian Church. Despite the
rain, which prevented the meeting
from being held on the lawn of the
Court House, the service was attend
ed well. The service was extremely
interesting. The large chorus choir
with Jacob T. Clymer sang hymns and
Robert d. Eaton sang solo. "Be Not
Discouraged" The service was open-
ed with prayer by P. NJ. Colbert. sec
retary OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
The Rev. Mr.. Crawford said in part
Looking all around us we see sin
end sec what IL has done. II has
caused loneliness, unhappiness and
sorrow IN the home and still people
make light OF sin. Faith tells ms
not only what God thinks of good
ness but also Of what He thinks OF
sin
THE great fact Of life is that everv-
where men and women are making
light OF sin and speak Of il with Jest.
We look out and comment upon
others and fail TO see our own sin.
Sin is deadly. but God gave the med
ium and the only medium by which
we can free ourselves from sin. We
should never think that we should for
give our own sins; we should relaize
that we are guilty before God and.Ho
alone can forgive our sins. War is
terrible and so is sim war is real and
so is sin and We should not try ia
shift the blame off on someone else
inst because we in our hearts set a
different standard for our own judg-
ment"
