1t is truism to say that there are
things that are great deal better
than money.
Many of the most precious things
money cannot buy, though toward
the requirement of some CT them it
can very materially help. Money,
for instance, cannot buy health; yet
there are many whose health might
be won back or greatly improved if
their poverty did not prevent their
securing adequate medical or sur
Gical treatment or a proper rest
from toll.
1t is no part of religion or good
sense to despise money or what
money can do; it is the purpose of
religion to create the right attitude
toward money and common sense
and spiritual vision in it's use. But
money, none the less, cannot always
buy us health nor can 1t secure
for us love and joy and the precious
inner experience and relationships
of life.
Peters Miracle
1t is we'll for us to turn to this
lesson with its story of Peter and
John going up into the temple to
pray when we are disposed to set
too high a value on money and es-
pecially to think that we cannot ac-
complish much in the world because
we do not happen to have wealth.
The incident in our story, the restor-
alton to strength of the beggar who
sat asking aims at the beautiful gate
at the temple, is. of course, miracu-
lous, and it may be said that we can
not perform miracles.
That may be true, but something
very much like miracles would come
about in the world if all Christians
met the individual needs of their
fellowmen and the needs of the
world with the spirit Of Peter and
John.
"Silver and gold have I none"
said Peter to the beggar, "but such
as 1 have I give thee: In the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.
But Peter did more than simply
bid the beggar rise up and walk.
We are told in the narrative that he
took him by the right hand and lifted
s him up. Perhaps that is quite as
significant as Peters willingness to
give what he had.
1t is one thing to bid men arise
and walk, to feel simply sort of
good will and kindly purpose TO-
ward our fellowmen; it is another
thing to reach forth the strong right

CONFER OVER SETTLEMENT OF
THE DELAWARE BAY BOUNDARY
DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY
COMMISSIONERS AT BRIDGETON
Long Dispute Over Control of Fish
ing in Bay is Being Taken up and
Threshed Out at Conference

Additional steps in the effort def
initely to settle the Delaware Bay
boundary dispute which has been a
source of ill-feeling at times between
Delaware and New Jersey fishermen
for upwards of a century, We're taken
over the weekend at a conference in
Bridgeton, n. J. The conference was
attended by members of boundary
commissions appointed sometime ago
under authority of the Legislatures of
the two States. The two commissions
met in Wilmington two weeks ago for
their first joint meeting. The Della
ware commission organized about
three weeks ago selecting Robert H.
Richards, Wilmington attorney, as
chairman. Pending settlement of the
dispute there is a truce in force be
tween the two states, affecting that
part of the Delaware Bay which is in
dispute. New Jersey asserts its boun-
dary extends to the middle of the
main ship channel in the bay, which
at any points is close to the Delaware
shore. Delaware on the other hand

states extend to the geographical cen
ter of the bay. That part Of the bay
which is disputed territory is said to
be the most valuable for fishing. Del
aware and New Jersey officials have
agreed that fishermen of both states
may operate in the disputed area be
tween the geographical center of the
bay and the middle of the main ship
channel without fear Of arrest or 9th
er hindrance pending the efforts at
settlement of the controversy. Mem
bers of the Delaware commission in
addition to Mr.. Richards are: William
S. Hilles, Wilmington, attorney;
Charles W. Cullen, Georgetown, at
torney; William NJ. Short, of Bowers,
and William F. Cummins, of Leipsic.

MANY INTERESTED IN ROAD
Want Maryland Highway Connected
Up With Delaware System BY Way
of MillingtOn, Clayton, Smyrna

Business men and citizens of Smyr-
na-Clayton and Townsend are anxi-
Gus to see a tie up Of the Delaware
roads with the Maryland State High
way System. Delaware already has a
road from Smyrna Kenton to the
Maryland line also a concrete road
to Blackiston's Cross Roads and
short distance from the Maryland
line and if Maryland roads are made
to join it, interstate traffic will be
developed at this point. Up at Town
send citizens at that point, want to
see the Townsend Caldwell road con
nected up with Massey-Galena road
and the Maryland Highway System.
The Road Commissioners of Kent
County, Md, may soon take action as
to the proper route to extend the con-
crete highway which has been under
consideration for the past two years.
While many have urged that the
proper plan would be to have the new
highway of concrete to be laid to
Sassafras, thence on to Galena, others
have advocated that the route extend
with the concrete highway which now
entends to Galena and Chestertown.
The State of Delaware has laid its
three proposed roadways at three
points leading to the Maryland line.
The Smyrna Clayton -Blackistons road
toward Millington; the Smyrna-Ken-
ton-Downs Chapel Road toward Sud
lersville and the Townsend Caldwell
road toward Massey. The three con
nections would have been finished in
quick time had not a dispute among
the Maryland residents as to the per-
ferred course kept the matter tied up
and so far nothing further has been
done. Since a recent inspection by
the Road Commission took place, all
routes are being gone over to deter
mine the most profitable and conven-
lent one. 1t is generally believed that
decision will soon follow and the
work started soon thereafter.
