The Presbytery of New Castle was in
session at FELTON, on Monday and Tues
day of this week. The hospitality of
FELTON, was exceedingly cordial. and
the Presbytery was taken to the famous
religious landmark, the Barrett Chapel.
The route went through the town of
Frederick, which had received the
United States Government Honor
Flag" on Monday evening for having
subscribed $50, 600 to the third Liberty
Loan instant Of their quota Of $4,000
Let this patriotic action Of Frederick
inspire Middletown to renewed endeavor
to make our efforts a grand success
Probably the most notable action of
Presbytery was unanimous, the adop;-
ton of the following preamble and re
solutions cOscerning the tax marriage
laws Of Maryland. which have made
Elkton especially conspicuous.
"WHEREAs, The Presby yteifan Church
IN the United states of America has, III
its DIRECTORY of Worship" chapter l.,
section 5, made the following decara
ton in reference to marriage: MAR
riage is of public nature; the welfare
of civil society; the happiness OF fam
lilies and the credit of religion are deep
ly interested in it; therefore, the pur-
pose of marriage ought to be sufficient
ly published proper time previously
to the solemuization OF it. 1t is en-
Joined on all ministers to be careful
that in this matter they neither trans
gress the law Of God nor the laws of
the community. and that they may not
destroy the power and comfort of fam
illes they must be properly certified
with respect to the parties applying to
them, that no just objection lies against
their marriage; and
"WHEREAs, Under the Maryland
law relating to marriages, non-residents
may obtain marriage licenses and i'm
mediatly have the ceremony performed,
while in States adjoining Maryland;
| non. esidents are required to procure
licenses a certain number of hours be-
fore the marriage ceremony; and
WHEREAS, The same abuses prevail
in EIkton which prevailed in Whining
| ton, Delaware, previous to the amend
ment of Delaware's marriage laws
therefore be it
"REsoLvED. by the New Castle Pres
bytery. that we deplore the failure Of
the Maryland Legislature, at two sue
cessive sessions, to give the people OF
Cecil county and Maryland relief from
a condition that has scandalized religion
and brought the Christian ministry in
to ridicule and dsrepute.
"REsoLvED, That the ministry of our
church endeavor to arouse public senti
ment against the evils resulting from
Maryland's tax marriage laws, with a
view to securing remedy in the cal
| future.'

He gave some Apostles, and some
Prophets, and some Evangelists. >
Ephes. IV:11.
The name Evangelist is from the
Greek, and means "a messenger of
good tidings," and hence "a writer of
the gospel or good news" 1t was at
first given to all that preached the
Gospel. but afterward it was confined
to those four who wrote the history of
our Saviour's life and teachings. st.
Mark was one Of the Evangelists. He
was the constant companion of St.
Peter, wrote his Gospel under St. Peters
direction, and was by him sent into
Egypt, where he planted the Church of
Alexandra, and where he finally suf
fered martyrdom, being seized by the
heather while engaged in the services
of the Church at Easter tide, and drag
ged through the streets till he died.
His symbol is lion; he tells us of Him
who is the Lion of the Tribe Of judah.
Great things have been done by St.
Anne's Parish this year. The Treas
urer's report for the past eight months
of 1917 is a credit to your work. There
are still number who worship with us
who are not regular subscribers to the
support of the Parish. The Treasurer
is anxious to have them ''do their bit. ("
An Every Name Campaign is on.
every Name on Pledge Card" and
''Every Name in Good Standing on the
Treasurer's Books" are the slogans.
We are going on, are you going with
US?
The Easter message is one Of hope.
The Easter Season lasts through the
Great Forty Days, until the Ascension
of our Lord. But there is no such
thing as hope in the mind of worldly
people. The miserable people at a
funeral are those who never received
within the Easter message. You can
not receive it as you would telegram
or letter. To receive these things you
need only to stretch out your hand. To
receive the Easter message you must
open your heart and reach out your
soul. The mind is a wonderful thing,
but it only substantiates the Easter
message when once it is received. The
mind questions and doubts, the soul
and heart cry out, ''My Lord, and my
God" The Riser Lord brought hope
and life to His disciples. They lost
hope when He died on the cross, they
thought (the minds work) that it was
the end Of all that He had said and done.
But the Risen Christ brought hope so
strongly into being that it has lived
ever since that day. 1t is not too much
to say that we can never depend upon
| our mind to bring US into the kingdom
of God.
The heart and soul must yield them
selves to Him, then the mind will be
illuminated by Him.
