DOVER. Del, Jan. 25.-At n
meeting OF Fruitland Grange, Pat
rons Of Husbandry OF Camden, Del,
and Milford Grange. Past state
Master +. c. Bancroft declared that
while there were certain farmers
who were against better and higher
education, the Grange as whole,
stood for better education. and It's
members were prepared to pay their
share. provided other businesses and
industries held up their end.
The statement OF Past Master
Bancroft is supported by the fact
that the Legislative committees OF
the state Grange. the Pom ona

counties. and practically every sub
ordinate grange in the state has
passed resolutions to the effect that
they are In favor OF the present edu-

II might be a rood thing il we

saying that they must believe in His
divinity
Later. the first followers, more en-
liShtened. came to see God in Christ
and I feel perfectly certain that any
one who sees Christ as He really Is
will always hope that God is like
Him.
In Christ we have God in human
terms. understanding both the depth
and the shsllowness Of the human
heart.
1t is true Christ did not explicitly
claim to be divine but then one
hardly expects gentleman to go
about proclaii ing he is gentle
man; he leaves that to other people
to discover. But II we look back
nto His life we find He assumed
divinity, and evidenced an entire
lack or the sense OF sin. shortcoming
and penitence. He never hints at
imperfection in Himself.
Christ is humble. but His humility
has nothing to do with personal
penitence. He taught as one hav-
ing authority and no credentials were
needed. We feel instinctiveiy when
we listen 10 Jesus that we are listen
ing also TO God.
Many men and women OF single
heart and pure intent may begin by
calling Him a good man, but they
will end. as the first disciples did by
giving their lives to Him as God.
