MUST CHOOSE SIDE
No Christian Can Afford to Re-

Waged Against Sin.

Curse ye Meroz, said the angel OF
the Lord, curse we bitterly the inhabi-
tants thereof; because they came not
to the help of the Lord, to the help
Of the Lord against the mighty
Judges v. %.
These words breathe the spirit of
Old Testament religion; the spirit
of many of the Psalms; the spirit of
an intense hatred of evil; the spirit
which made a devout ~Israelite think
of Gods enemies as his own, and call
down upon them the same fate that
in violent and vengeful days men were
accustomed to wreak or to invoke up
on their personal foes. do not hate
them that hate thee? Yes, / hate
them right sore, even as though they
were mine enemies" 1t is not the
spirit of Christianity which breathes
in such passages; and there are many
people land l confess that I am one
of them) who would gladly see the
use of such Psalms in Christian wor-
ship discontinued; for we cannot
rightly make that spirit our own. Yet
such u~tterances have also their noble
side; If they are vindictive, it is be-
cause men were eager for Gods
cause; If they show a hatred of the
sinner, 1t is because those who ut
tered them had a burning indignation
against the sin; whereas in modern
times, if we are apt to be very gentle
with sinners, it is partly, l fear, be-
cause we have no real horror of sin,
and are no longer consumed with zeal
for righteousness or for the service of
God.
Neutrality Sometimes a Sin.
We know nothing at all of Meroz
and its people. They are known to
us only by this simple denunciation.
Just as in the New Testament Cho-
rain is known only by the denuncia-
ton of wee; but Deborah's wrath was
stirred against a people who had re-
fused to Join in a great cause, the
cause of the Lord and her burning
words kindled for all time a noble
protest against unworthy refusals.
Meroz apparently was lot an active
opponent-it stood aloof; it main
tanned a judicious neutrality in the
face of danger from a powerful foe;
and when the struggle is between
right and wrong, between Gods cause
and the cause which is opposed to it,
then neutrality becomes a sin, and
he that is not with God is against 1T

MOVING SLOWLY ON
SQUARE Improvement
No Early Change Expected
in Present Court
House Site
FIVE ARCHITECTS
TO SUBMIT DESIGNS

Prospects for the early improve
ment Of the square, where the New
Castle County Court House now
stands. along lines adopted by the
Board Of Park Commissioners, are not
bright. and it is expected that the &C
tual work Of beautifying the square
will not be started for many weeks
OF until the present occupants of the
Court House have moved to the new
Public Building. Various estimates as
to when this will occur have been
made, some holding that the last OF
the Offices cannot be transferred to
the new location until about the first
OF the year.
In the meantime a plan for the i'm
provement OF the square will be de-
cided upon. and this is the matter
which is occupying the attention oil
the executive committee Of The Board
of Park Commissioners at the present
time. A resolution directing this
committee, which is composed OF Park
Commissioner William p. Bancroft
Samuel II. Baynard, Joseph L. Car
penter, Henry NJ Candy. and Irenee
dupont, to proceed with the work OF
removing the old building and i'm
proving the square, was adopted at
the last meeting Of the board, which
was the signal for the task to be pro-
ceeded with.
In order to secure the best possible
design for an improvement TO the
square, the services Of several emil
nent landscape architects were DEEM
ed necessary. and to secure these a
competition was arranged, in which
five OF the leading architects, masters
in this line OF work, will take part. To
limit the competition to those artists
who are classed among the highest in
their profession, Professor Warren
Powers Laird professor OF architec-
lture in the University Of Pennsylvania
was engaged by the executive COM
mittee to act in an advisory capacity
and to select five men TO submit de-
signs in this competition. Professor
Laird is proceeding slowly in making
his choice. The one OF the Ave whose
design is ultimately accepted will re-
ceive the fee provided for the work
81 900 but the four unsuccessful ones
will be paid $500 each for their work
I All these fees to be pair by Com
