WHO ARE CoNDEMNED9
Subject Discussed BY DIR. Vrooman at the
Unitarian Church.

At the Unitarian Church. Sunday
morning, DR.. Nrooman in the course Of u
sermon ON "The Authority of Jesus Christ,
asked the question ''Whom did Jesus send
TO Hell?" He said. Not long since |
heard popular preacher tell large
audience that all thieves, liars murderers,
adulterers, Unitarians and Liberal Chrls-
tians were doomed to the endless misery
of hell because they were not saved
through belief in the blood of Christ
Such appalling mcdievalism seems TO De
given a glad hand in Wilmington. Many,
things might be said about IT, but l shaii
note only one interesting fact. Granting
that Jesus actually said everything that
is accredited TO Him on thus matter, whom
did He send to hell? The Jews almost
universally. like other Oriental peoples
then. held hell in high regard for their
enemies. The pharisees especially were
fond of sending there all who disagreed
with them. They described it as n place of
anguish. lake of fire, an outer darkness
where is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
All the rabble who did not adopt their
rules of life, and obey their word Of God,
and Gentle unbelievers, and afterward
all Christians were sent To Gehenna or
hell Jesus denounced this sect, which
afterward crueifed him, and said Eye
compass sea and earth to make one
proselyte and when he is become so we
make him two-fold more a son of hell
than yourselves. You hypocrites with
your petty standards of religion who leave
out Justice and mercy and faithfulness,
which strain out a gnat and swallow a
camel. You talk about your hell but Will
tell you who go there. They are men who
are rich and leave Lazarus the 'beggar to
die at their doors. They are people who
think they are pious but give no bread TO
the hungry, no clothes to the poor, and
care nothing about the unfortunate. They
are the unkind, unmerchul and selfish.
If you forgive men their trespasses, God
win forgive yours. He desires mercy and
not sacrifice. Blessed are the mercifui for
they shall obtain mercy. The selhshly
unkind are in hell, but the good and
righteous of whatever belief inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven.

GREAT DISPLAY BY

which, or whether either of these things
it may have portended or preceded, the
Aurora Borealis. or Northern Lights,
last night made one of its semi-occasional
displays, visible to the people In this
section. The people of Wilmington who
were on the streets last night between
10 and 1130. or got to the windows or
doors of their homes, were treated to a
display such as few. if any of them, had
ever had the pleasure of seeing before.
The lights began to show soon after dark,
but did not become very brilliant until
about 10.
MANY of them had seen the Aurora
Borealis, but probably none on such q
grand scale as the exhibition last night.
With the exception of few fieecy clouds,
the skies were clear, and the stars seemed
to be shining brighter than usual. Aurora
began to send her rays from the northern
horizon about 10 o'clock, and soon was
making such an exhibition es to cause
exclamations from those who saw, and TO
bring Others from the houses to view.
The lights soon spread to the 2 a ID,
and then ibegan to flash from the east.
west and south. In the west. the light
took on a dark red glow, and this varied
toward the south to sickly yellow at
times. At times the display had the
appearance of an inverted waterfall from
the north, and at other times the lights
from all directions seemed to center exact
ly overhead.
The display lasted with varying bril-
hancv, up to about u o'clock. Some
watchers who had never seen a brilliant
display Of the Northern Lights" re-
menbering the recent prediction of an
astronomer that the world was going TO
smash, and being credulous, thought that
the heavenly show must be the beginning
Of the end.
The frequency of auroras is supposed
to be variable with period Of about eleven
years, and vary in brilliancy. The dis
play last night seemed to be combina-
ton Of the aurora borealis and the aurora
australis, the former the northern lights
and the latter the southern lights. The
combination is referred TO as the Aurora
Poiaris" During such extensive displays
as that Of last night-all the displays are
considered OF electrical origin-tbere are
often such electrical disturbances as in
terfere with the working Of the telegraph
and telephone, and reports from all sec
tious indicate that these troubles were
experienced last night.

LIGHTING COMPANIES
EXTEND USEFULNESS

The lowly natiron, the humble
washing machine and the self-effac-
Ing vacuum cleaner have a public re
lations value TO the central station
company which public policy com
mittees generally have been disposed
TO overlook.
That electric service company
which has the home on it's lines
saturated from irons. toasters. wash
ers. sweepers, and all the other labor
lighteners will soon find that, as a
corporation, II Is assuming new
position OF economic importance In
the thought and opinion OF its local
public.
No longer is IL a mere lighting
company" 1t begins, instead, TO be
sort of general service corporation,
performing ten thousand different
labor saving servies for it's consti-
tuents. And such labor-saving serv.
ice cements the company into the in
dividual favor of the public in a way
that no mere lighting service could
ever do. 1t becomes a public service
corporation in the fullest sense.
The central station company which
has co-operated with Its local electri-
cal trade to put an iron, washer,
and a vacuum cleaner in every home
is in the strongest possible public
relations position. Its local public
and it's local trade can be counted
upon to be soIidly for IL.

ELECTRICITY BIG BOOM
TO CITRUS INDUSTRY

Electricity is the motive power be-
hind this citrus Industry OF the great
Southwest. the Empire OF the
Orange" In southern California there
are about $50 orange growing com
munities. To supply electrical en-
ergy 10 these communities has been
the gigantic task OF electric xenerst-
ing companies OF the Southwest for
the last thirty years.
The citrus industry had its birth
with the landing OF the Franciscan
fathers in 1863. About their missions
they planted orange groves from
seeds brought from old Spain. From
this the citrus industry grew until the
latter eighties. when all OF the avail
able gravity water had been diverted
to the groves.
The hauling OF portable fuel. such
as oil and coal. for pumping purposes
could be done no longer at a price
which made the pumping we'll profit
able, and then electricity came TO the
rescue. Power lines stretching out
over the expanses OF sage brush and
chaparral set the motor at work re-
claiming the desert for citrus prod
ucts. and, year by year. lands which
formerly had but small value, under
electric irrigation and citrus cultivs
tion developed until now they pay IL
per cent and better on the valuation
OF from $1,000 TO $4,000 per acre.
The Washington times., 1920-05-30

not apply to public buildings in which
indirect lighting is claimed to be the
most desirable and attractive form OF
illumination.
Then the quantity and intensity of
artificial light must be taken into
account in the home. Neither should
it be harsh and sharp in effect nor
should il be of such intensity as to
direct the relative values of illu-
mination and shadow. The effect of
/ shadow. by the way, should be as
carefully considered as the effect OF
light, else the eye is unduly wearied.
Softened and modulated shadows
are restful and add interest while
hard. sharply drawn shadows repel
and tire the eyes. The quality of the
light affects directly the quality OF
the shadow.
One factor generally overlooked in
electrical lighting is the color OF the
rays. These should not be of the
character to falsify or kill the colors
IN the furnishings.
Mellowness is most desirable in do
nestle lighting except possibly in the
kitchen and bath room and in excep-
tional cases in ball rooms on formal
occasions, when brilliancy is not only
permissible but desirable.
Fixed lighting appliances either
depend from the ceiling or are fixed
to the walls. The dependent group
includes chandeliers, hanging lamps,
hanging lanterns and drops, while the
other group includes sconces, gran
doles. wall lamps. wall lanterns and
sundry sorts of brackets.
Large and impressive chandeliers
are appropriate in large, stately
formal rooms with high ceilings or
in lofty halls They have no place
in small or informal rooms. Smaller
chandeliers with but few lights al;
low greater latitude of use. When
chandeliers are used, however, side
lights at a lower level tend to bring
down the center of illumination to its
proper place.
Hanging lamps and lanterns for
halls, entries. stair wells and rooms
of generous proportions admit Of
freer use. than chandeliers. Prop
erly shaded drops are generally
recommended for use over dressing
stands.
sconces, wall landers and similar
fixtures have a decorative as we'll as
a utilitarian function and should be
placed where needed with an eye to
symmetry and BALANCE.
