city notes that people seeking lodging nre
not those who might be clAssed as 'down

pIecc TO another in search OF work. Three
fourths of the applicants for assistance are
reported to be former service men, who
were unable to stay at home after Their
return to this country and were lured TO
Baltimore in expectation Of obtaining big
wages. A great number, Of the more than
fifty who registered ut the Inn in one night,
had lust been "vacationed" by big plant
nearby, and having saved no money IN
the good days are ''broke," but they re-
fused to accept lower wages than they
have received in the last three years.

Women Preachers.

The announcement that there are now
fifteen women licensed to preach ID tho
Methodist Episcopal Church Is further
evidence that the sex is coming into It's
rights in all directions, and shows Ms well
the change of sentiment on tho question
OF permitting them to conduct services IN
the church. 1t was, however, 30 recent
as May last that permission was ilfst
granted by General Conference TO un-
muzzle women in the Methodist churches,
and permit them to preach.
Why the ban on women as ministers
of the gospel has continued so long after
40 many of the other older customs have
been abandoned is one OF those inexplicapie
things that are so often met with. Most
of the opposition is based upon. bloiieai
references to the sex, which some de-
nominations havei nterpreted as beng pro-
hibitory. Others, however, do not read
in the Scriptures this discrimination
against woman and many of the sects have
cburebes directed entirely by women,
and Il must be admitted they are usually
most successful preachers
The Unitarian Church has had some
notable women preachers and many I"
the most spiritual of the Friends speakers
were women. Indeed, there have been
no more effective leaders and preachers
than MANY of the women who addressed
gatherings of "Quakers," and everybody
can recall half dozen or so women whose
messages have been heard through all the
country.
Probably. with the ballot-box open to
women and the churches yielding to the
spirit of equality Of rights, women may
become leaders in the spiritual education
as thev are dominant in school work.
That date. however, may be long dls-
tanoe ahead. but the day has been quick
ened by the Nineteenth Amendment
whic hmakes women eligible for any civi'
most Of honor. trust or responsibility that
may be held by man.
In the churches Of two or three scots
the opposition TO women preachers IS NOT
likely TO be overcome for years, II at all
but the majority Of the Christian denomi-
nations will gladly avail themselves OF the
guidance OF women and the pulpits are
likely to be much benefited by the new
order Of things The excellence OF the
teachings of women at the head OF Sunday
schools may be taken as an assurance tha'
she is capable Of the higher work OF shep-
herding the entire congregation.

Make II a Grand Sue cess.

The Red Cross Roll Call, for renewal
~ annual memberships and acquisition
Of new members, viii close on Thursday
next. Thanksgiving Day. The result
should be such as TO give the managers
and friends of this great world mother
organization ample cause for thanksgiving
and praise.
Remember. members Of the Red Cross
who have not yet renewed membership
that il costs only a dollar to have your
names continued on the active roll. Re-
member. those who have not yet joined,
that il costs but dollar to secure active
connection with this great agency for
good.
All the world now knows that the Red
Cross is, what il means. lts work during
the World War was magnificent and ac-
cornplished wonders in relieving suffering
and distress. Wars wreckage and dew
astatior still claim it's services abroad,
while the demands for relief from war
privations abroad, and from human sui
fering that always prevails here at home
and elsewhere, afford ample fields for It's
activities.
In peace as in war there is demand Tor
the Red Cross agencies of relief. Human
sufferings, devastations by fire and food,
sweeping epidernics and various other
woes create situations where its ministra-
tions do a grand work for humanity thus
it appeals TO all the people for encourage
inent and support. Let Delaware extend
its full measure this week.

In truly liberal struggle. Tho world

body that prctcnds TO be tho free Parli-

and progressive elements of the human
family. "Open covenants openly arrived

author at the very threshold of the Parl.
Conference, but It ia still tho slogan OF
constructive Liberals throughout the
world II is a thousand pities that
America is NOT present TO fight for IT.
The decisive position held in the AS
sembly by the representatives from South
America reveals how powerful place
we might have enjoyed as the natural
leader of the Pan-American delegation.
As between any two groups on Europe,
we could have held the balance OF power
The pathetic picture painted so often by
opponents of the League which represented
Uncle Sam as helpless and handcufieci
victim being dragged into 'foreign wars
by an arrogant alien League rather fades
out under the bright light of the real stu
alton. Uncle Sam might have been the
srbiter of the Assembly, the potent lend
er Of world Liberalism, the nation which
would Twin the peace" whatever may tie
said about our winning the war.
The real difference of opinion between
the British and the French rests upon tht
simple fact that the French are quite
pardonably afraid of the Germans and thu
British are not A formidable military
Germany is always a possibility within

many a long day before broken German,

The head Of the local branch of the
National Safety Counoi estimates that
Delaware has lost s530,000 this year
through the accidental deaths of 20 Of her

that there was q reduction of 90 per cent
in the deaths this year compared with
those Of a year ago, 17e in number. The

these busy, hurrying, crowded days, in the
hope that the people most exposed TO these
dangers may be on their guard, and every

Church Bi-Centennial.

The observance of the bi-centennlaI OF
Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church,
last week. recalls the fact that the follow
ers of John Knox were among the first
of the various Christian denominations TO
establish houses of worship here, that Is,
of course. after the Swedes. The lower
part of Pennsylvania and the adjacent
western part of this county seemed to
attract large numbers OF Presbyterlans
early in the Eighteenth Century, and later,
numbers of Friends. This section OF the
country. with its fertile fields and flowing
rivers, appealed TO many OF the more
desirable classes of our early immigrants
who were hunting g permanent home, Tor
it had advantages which they at once per
ceived. and wherever they located they
set about early erecting churches and
meetinghouses.
The Lower Brandywipe Presbyterian
Church was established in 1920, which
antedates the erection of the Friends Meet
ing house here by eighteen years, and the
First Presbyterian Church in this city
by twenty years. 1t was built Of
logs, a rough, crude affair, but it weathered
the storms for more than half a century,
until the present edifce was raised.
II required much sacrifice and devotion
to keep the old church going on her mis-
sion in all these intervening years. but the
task was accomplished; the congregation
has been steadfast and has done faithful
work in advancing the great cause Of
Christianity and the uplift of the people.

NOVEMBER WINDS.


November winds are harshly
brawling about my shack, the long
night through; and in my bed
hear them squalling around the
window and the tile. | hear them
hammer at the sashes, / hear them
spring the ancient wheeze: Stoke
up your fire, shake down the
ashes, or all the hanging plants
viii frceze!' Novemher's voice ia
wild and raucous, the genial zeSt Of
life il kills, and all night long it
seems to mock US, with hints of
coming plumbers bills. By day
We hear November shrieking, and
bear up well beneath our cross, al
. though we know that autumn'ss
sneaking, and winter comes, a total
loss. By day we have our tolls and
troubles to occupy our divers minds;
we saw our wood and blow our
bubbles, and give small heed to
waiIing winds But In the night,
with darkness round us, and ghost
steps creaking on the stair, the
wild winds seem 20 hunt and hound
us, and fill our hosoms with despair.
There's nothing speaks more poig-
nant sorrow than bleak November's
voice at night; and SO we lie and wish
the morrow would come and bring
its helpful light.
