Voltaire, q wise man in many things,
said and wrote much that was fool
ish. He said that Faith consists in
believing things because they are I'M
possible" n .ras5 Z. .%ev j.. ....%
OF course there is not an atom of
truth in that statement. His daily
;: life and your daily life, proves its
falsehood.
The apostle Paul, writing to the
Hebrews, set down this truth, snow
faith is the substance of things hoped
for" Some translators Of the original
have put the word assurance" in the
place Of the word Substance" 4.
Substance seems to me the bet
ter word because from it's derivation
1t means literally "to stand under"
and that means foundation. In other
words, Faith is the foundation Of
things hoped for s. 49,.
Since the present moment is all we
have and all that we are assured
of the future must be altogether a
matter of hope, and hope depends
entirely on faith. i
Faith is not credulity. ~.
The man who hopes for the i'm
possible cannot have faith in his
hopes. Genuine faith is based on truth
which is Interchangeable and everlasting.
So long as there is.life there is
faith as well as hope. Perhaps
sometimes our faith may lessen be-
cause experience shows it to have
been wrongly placed. But lose faith
we cannot, and our effort always
should be to strengthen and sustain
it. E.+.a' = .EE &
Faith and hope are our mental
crutclles and the lamer we are the
more we need them. ~
How foolish it would be for us,
who are at best. in ourselves so feeble
and helpless. to throw away the things
which serve best to support and
sustain us.
You have not lost faith. You have
only turned away for q moment from
the light which God has mercifully
given to all of us and the darkness
frightens and overwhelms you.
Turn back. Your faith will return.

"The Hick," Larry Semon comedy,
which will be shown at the Opera
House on Labor Day, is provoked by a
box of snuff dropped by quaint char
acter in a massive restaurant. The
farmer commences to sneeze. He
sneezes away his soup and then
sneezes away the table cloth. He
keeps on sneezing until he saeezes
away the waiter. Larry, who is un-
der an adjoining table listening to
conversation of two Williams who have
lured away his sweetheart. also gets
the sneezing fever. He sneezes and
sneezes but manages to escape detec-
ton because of the fact that the farm
er at the next table is also sneezing.
But when the two characters drive the
rural visitor from the restaurant.
Larry is forced to find way to stop
sneezing. He does and the way that
he does it is sure to provoke laughter
that will not easily be overcome.

If there were more photoplays like

sorship and fewer complaints about

ter" is a clean, wholesome production
free from gunplay, sex element and
melodramtic absurdities. 1t presents
Alice Joyce in as charming a role as
she has ever portrayed. The charact-
er of Indiana furnishes her material
for clever picture studies of the spoil
ed child who becomes the obedient
wife. Holmes E. Herbert plays oppo-
site Miss Joyce and present British
aristocrat in a capable manner. He
has role that could easily be over
acted and spoiled; but the artist be-
gets a temperance in drawing his
character with a result that is entire
ly satisfactory.

Use of Nitro Suspected

Unable to ascertain anything cer-
tain as to the motive behind the ma
chimes destruction, State Detective
Baldwin was confronted by further
mystery in his investigation when he
was unable to determine from the
wreckage just what ingredients were
used to cause the terrific crash, the
shock from which was felt for six
miles around Original belief was
that a charge of dynamite was used,
but Detective Baldwin's inspection of
the wreckage gave no indication that
such was the case, and leads him to
believe that nitro-glycerin or some
other high explosives were used. To
finally determine this puzzling angle
he intends to enlist the aid of eX-
plosive experts of Wilmington to ac-
company him to the scene. Officials
are thoroughly convinced that there
was no possibility of natural causes
having wrecked the machine. The
stranger suspected of implication in
the affair was seen in the vicinity of
the farm on Monday afternoon, ask
ing about threshing machine, after
which he disappeared and has since
been lost to sight of those in the
neighborhood. Remley can give nc
explanation more reasonable than the
police theory that revenge was the
motive for the explosion.
In the direction opposite the farm
house, the crash was heard as fan
away as six miles. Detective Bald
win said, while in other directions
owing to the shielding straw stack, il
was not heard great distance away
and the stones and metal work, toss
ed about the wreckage for distance
of $50 feet, caused no damage to the
home due to this protection.

.REMLEY'S THRESH|NG- RIG,
CHESWOLD, BLOWN TO PIECES
WAS AT THE BOGGS FARM NEAR
MIDDLETOWN WHEN WRECKED
Believed 1t To Be Work of Some
Jealous Enemies-Dynamite Fuse
Found Near by Machine

Cheswold, Aug. 3O.-A threshing
machine, owned by N. L. Remley, of
Cheswold, which had been threshing
wheat on the farm of Mrs. Lillian N.
Biggs, tenanted by Joseph B. Bryson,
near Mt. Pleasant, was blown to
pieces at 1870 o'clock, Monday night
of last week. Fragments of the ma
chine were scattered over the entire
field in which it was standing. The
machine was valued at $4,000. Farm
ers residing two miles distant from
the scene of the explosion felt the
shock plainly. The explosion, it is be-
leved, was the result of an attempt
of some enemy of Mr.. Remley, who
had been threshing wheat at a price
somewhat lower than others were
charging to injure him Pieces
of fuse were found near the wrecked
machine, which is accepted as evidence
that dynamite was placed under the
machine and set off by the use of a
long fuse. The owner of threshing
rig has had a conference with Attor-
ney-General Townsend and every eff
fort will be made to apprehend the par
ty who is responsible for the demol-
ishing of the thresher. The farmers
| of this section are incensed over the
affair and will give the attorney-gen-
eral all assistance possible to bring to
justice the person or persons who may
be responsible for the explosion. Eff
forts to trace a motor car seen speed
ing madly from the scene and a
suspicious character are being made
by State Detective Baldwin, in his at
tempt to pierce through the viel of
mystery that shrouds the explosion.
Might Have Cost Him His Life
A kind invitation to spend an even
| ing beneath the roof of a nearby
home instead of making his bed, a;
was his custom, within the roomy
cabin of the threshing machine
trifing thing in itself; but to the ac
ceptance of it by N. G. Remley, thC
young thresher probably owes his life
for Monday night, the night of the
mysterious explosion, was the frs
since he has been operating in tha
vicinity he had not slept in the ma
chine which was destroyed, apparent
ly from motives of revenge. Anothe
favorable caprice of a generous des
tiny, the fact that the destroyed ma
chine was so situated that a hug
stack of straw shielded the nearb
farm dwelling from the explosion
shock, probably prevented more seri
Gus damage.
