TAKE YOUR CHOICE
Faith is not feeling.

Faith is not feeling
''Faith is the substance of things hoped
for;" feeling is often but the empty bub-
BILE blown by perserve human nature.
Faith rests upon the Interchangeable foun-
dations Of Gods word; feeling floats upon
the tickle currents Of physical or mental
conditions.
Faith is always upright and trust
worthy; feeling is often despicably mean
and low, and therefore unreliable.
Faith constantly brings victory; feeling
largely produces failure
Faith sees clearly in the time Of great
est darkness feeling is befogged and con-
fused in time Of creates light.
Faith speaks to FIRE cone from the power
of physical ills; feeling vents itself to en-
tangle one in the meshes of his own fallen
nature
Faith creates it's own atmosphere; feeling
sucumbs to the miasma of the hour.
Faith triumphantly presses forward in
tn eface Of bitter opposition; feeling gives
up as soon as bar is thrown across it's
path.
Faith asks not for demonstration Of the
truth before accepting it; feeling waits for
signs and wonders before obeying.
Faith is the gift Of God, through the
visitation Of the Holly Spirit; feeling may
of the nervous system or the alimnetary
tract.
Faith never claims to be feeling; but
feeling often claims to be faith.
Faith rejoices and is strong in the midst
of greatest Affections and temptations feel
ing wits and weeps over supposed difficult
ties.
Faith pursues the even tenor of it's way
without change feeling is up to day, but
down tomorrow
Faith lives always in the now; feeling
has it's mind on the things Of yesterday or
tomorrow.
Faith looks to the God who has hidden
that Jericho be taken; feeling trembles at
thought Of the giants who are within the
walls.
Strong faith may be- accompanied by
very weak feelings or no feelings at all;
weak faith may have as a companion very
strong and joyous feelings.
He who lives by faith may do his best
when he feels his worst

TALK Of
NEW ANTI-BOOZE
Shipment BILL
No Penalties on Books for
Sending Of.LiquOr Into
Kent or Sussex
Hear OF
AGITATION FOR new Law
STAFF Correspondent.

STAFF Correspondent.
STATE HOUSE, DOVER, Del. Jan.
9.-The local effect OF the decision OF
the Supreme Court OF the United
States upholding the constitutionality
of the Webb-Kenyon dry" law, was
the principal topic of discussion
among Delaware legislators this
morning.
The action of the Supreme Court in
this case which would prohibit the
shipment Of liquor from another State
into the dry territory OF Delaware
Kent and Sussex counties-even took
precedence over the Senate deadlock
in the discussion of the members OF
the Legislature.
The general opinion among legis-
lators and politicians seems to be
that the effect of the decision will be
an attempt to enact another law SINH
lar TO the now famous Hazel anti
I shipment bill.
It will be remembered that the Cen
eral Assembly of 1913 passed bill in
troduced by Senator William NJ. Ha-
eel, of Dover. which made it unlawful
90 ship liquor from the wet section
OF the State into the two dry" coun-
ties. and also restricted the amount
that a person personally could carry
or transport into the dry" territory.
The liuuOr interests made a test OF
the law and the State Court decided il
was unconstitutional in certain phases,
the court ruling that the law prohibit
ed New Castle county dealers from
shipping liquors into Kent and Sus-
sex counties. but permitted shipments
from other States into Kent and Sus-
sex counties. because Of the discrimi-
nation under the decision against Del
aware liquor dealers, sentiment be-
came strong for repeal OF the Hazel
law, and il was wiped of the statute
books by the Legislature two years
ago.
The Hazel law contained penalties
for illegal shipment Of liquors into
Kent and Sussex counties.
Now there are no penalties, and
I while Observation-Disclosures Federal law
. prohibits liquor shipments from wet"
binto "dry" territories, It contains no
penalties, leaving the enforcement
and punishment to the various States
Delaware, now having no penalties
in any law on the books against ship
ments OF liquor into dry" territory,
the Webb-Kenyon law will not have
the effect of barring liquors from
Kent and Sussex counties.
A dealer or person outside the State
might be arrested for making such
shipments Of liquor into Kent or Sus-
sex counties, but there are no Della
ware penalties that could. be imposed
for such shipments.
