Altered Divine's Idea of 'Hell6re."
BY J. p. GLASS.

"The Good Father would not permit
me-" was her reply.
He continued: II have been so lone
some and so heartbroken that l have
hungered for you. Where did you come
from?"
She informed him that she had been
up to see the children" who were stay
ing at Lake Hopatcong. They are
lovely" she said.
DR.. Morgan explained that Mrs.
Morgan now seemed 10 be sitting on the
edge of the bed. The vision was so real
that he reached up and pressed q switch
at the head of the bed which illumin-
ated chandelier suspended just above.
At the same time he stretched out
hand toward his wife.
In the lighted room he saw nothing,
felt nothing, heard nothing. He felt
like crying
what have I done! What have
done!" he exclaimed And ne prayed
to God oh Father, forgive me, let her
come back"
He switched on the light, closed his
eyes and prayed earnestly. And pres
entity he saw her again. Laughing
gently, she said why did you do
that? Don't you know you can't see
me?"
They talked a long time, he said. OF

counted by DR.. Morgan had an i'm
portant bearing on his life.
The first related to the father and
brother of Mrs. Morgan, who also were
dead Mrs. Morgan related that she
was "inssructing them"
Dr.. Morgan's soto voice comment,
God knows they needed it," rather in
clines us to chuckle, and it pleaSes us
to learn that her declaration destroyed
his belief in hell and hell fire and he
ceased from then on to preach hell"
She told him. too, that he must stop
grieving for her, for it was making II
impossible for him to do his work"
This he seems to have done At any
rate he carried on his work with great
success from then on.
The strongest points in favor of the
testimony of DR.. Morgan are his evil
dent sincerity and his fine naivete. We
may doubt whether his experience was
ANYTHING but dream. but We cannot
doubt his belief that it was fact.

plauding JohnSon's sentiments.
Fletcher rose to observe that he
was satisfied the orange juice and
sunshine of Florida would cure all OF
WatSon's ills, and Borsh remarked that
there could be no doubt that every
Senator genuinely regretted seeing the
Hoosier leave.
But it remained for silver-tongue Pat
Harrison more aptlv TO express the SEN
ate's regret at WatSon's departure. No
finer friendship exists than between
these two men Of different political
faiths.
He is taking the right course to go
to some place for complete rest said
Pat.
He says he is going on an automobile
trip down through the sunny South

he will go to Gods real country. over

There the breezes are q little softer
and the sun shines a bit brighter, and
he can have a better time than any
where else in the world. And I promise
him that If he will go there he will be
restored"
Then Pat. who considers that dav lost

| November Is, IS59.-The local con-
| troverSy over the propriety of setting
apart day of thanksgiving by mu-
| nicipal authority found its way into
| the newspapers today. The Evening
| Star prints two letters on the subject,
! one in favor of and one against
Thanksgiving day proclaimed by the
mayor OF Washington.
| A letter, signed "Vox Populi," reads In
part as follows:
will you allow through the medium
! Of your columns the voice of well
! grounded complaint 10 be heard in ref
erence to the action of the board of
aldermen upon the joint resolution re-
ouesting the mayor to set apart day
of public thanksgiving? That resolu-
/ ton, in which is embodied so much
that is dear to the American citizens,
We have beheld rudely rejected.
twenty-five States of the American
| Union have already set apart a day OF
! Thanksgiving to the Most High. Whilst
| their united voices shall ascend to
Heaven in remembrance of the mani
! fold blessings showered down upon us
as a people and Nation, the very
heartstrings Of the Nation will not be
permitted to vibrate in unison, accord
| ing TO it's feelings. The voice OF thanks
giving must be silent in the Federal
metropolis of the Union.
And why should we not be thank
| fu? We have all that nation
! could desire to promote its internal
| welfare and prosperity. .. All is happy
and peaceful and prosperous. Why,
then. should not the Federal metropo-
| lis of this Great Nation acknowledge
also in a public manner these great
end permanent hlessings?"
A. c.. Haley. writing from sherwood
Hall, u. c.. takes the other side of the
question. as follows:
Il shall omit, as immaterial to the
present. a showing of the anti-Sab-
bath origin OF this New England festi-
val. saying only that. as an anti-Puri-
tan. any man we'll informed upon its
origin could hardly approve of it with
out incurring the self-suggested charge
of heterodoxy TO his creed.
For my part, l deem conclusive the
letter of the able chief of police to the
the environS 1of Washington, a satlIr-
MALTA of all that is reprehensible, and
your farmer. who it might be supposed
would on that day be most devout in

U. OF d. BUILDING, NEWARK
New Properties Involving Expen-
ditures of $685. 900, Under Way

Permanent buildings involving a
total expenditure of $685,00 are
either incourse of construction or
will be started in a short time at
the University of Delaware. DR..
Walter Hullihen, president of the
University, reviews the progress
that is being made in this con
struction work in a report he has
just submitted to the Board of
Trustees. This includes the new
auditorium to be known as Mitch
ell Hall, in honor of DR.. Samuel
of the University; the addition to
the engineering building to be
known as Evans Hall in memory
Of the late George G. Evans who
was trustee of the board for many
years; in addition to the heating
plant, all three of which buildings
are now in course of construction,
and the proposed new gymnasium
at the Women's College, bids for
which will be opened and the con-
tract awarded in short time.
Mitchell Hall, which is to cost
about S35O,OO0, is a gift from H.
Rodney Sharp,a trustee and alum
nj of the University. The addition
to Evans Hail. the engineering
building, will cost $4,000 and is
an appropriation from the State.
The addition to the heating plant
will cost $4,000 and part of this
money is understood to be a gift
from a friend of the University
The last Legislature also appro-
priated S15O,000 for the proposed
gymnasium building at the Wom-
ems College Mitchell Hall will
not be completed until late spring,
the engineering building and the
heating plant addition will proba-
bly, be completed late in the winter
or early spring, while it is hoped
to have the gymnasium completed
by the opening of the University
in September. In his report Dr..

Pont has given $4,000 for a hy-

The Dover Index notes that
University of Maryland scien-

Del-Mar-Va Peninsula is the
most healthful and salubrious
section of the country, even
SURPRISING the Pacific slope.
No section can boast Of a
more fertile and kindly soil,
better roads and greater free
dom from destructive storms
and climatic freaks. And,
continues the Index, it is de-
clared that our people enjoy
an unusual span Of life. When
all these blessings are realiz-
ed by people living in other
parts of the country the pen
insula should come into its
own. All Of which we think
correct, though some otner
districts might challenge
parts Of the statement at
least. We are making COM
mendable progress toward
coming into our own, but per-
haps not such rapid advance
ment as we should enjoy. Our
people, as a rule, have be-
come so used to the life spok-
en- of that often they fail to
realize our advantages. The
peninsula is and should be a
fine place for people seeking
homes. Along with the ad-
vantages mentioned, it should
be added, that we have a hos
pitable people. Our residents
in this day and generation
