MINISTER'S ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
FOR THIS PENINSULA

The Ministerial Association of the
Salisbury District of the Wilmington
Conference, Methodist Episcopal
Church, representing a large mem
bership and constituency in lower
Delaware and the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland and Virginia, adopted the
sentiment of the following resolu-
ton:
We reaffirm our oft expressed po-
sition of uncompromising support
of the 18th Amendment and the Vol
stead Act and unrelenting hostility
to the return of the liquor traffic in
any form.
We will steadfastly oppose any
and all candidates on any ticket who
stand for the repeal of our PrOhibi-
tion Laws in State and Nation and
believe every avOwedly vet candi-
date should be voted against by
every Christian voter.
Furthermore, we will heartily sup
port the candidates in the primaries
and general elections whom we have
reason to believe will stand for the
retention and enforcement of the
Laws.

CONSTITUTION DAY

On September II, 1887, the Con
stitution of the United States wal
signed, and referred for ratification
to the 13 colonies then making III
our country. This document nigh
be considered the most famous one
of history, next to the Bible. L
would be difficult, with that excep
tion, to show that any other hat
done as much for human progress.
1t took the movement for demo
cratic government, which previous
ly had been an intangible and ro-
mantle kind of thing, and brought il
down to practical life. 1t was DEM
ocracy reduced to brass tacks." II
took the visionary theories of re-
publican institutions, which had
been the dream of philosophers for
1000 years, and showed how these
theories and dreams could be work
ed into practical form.
The trainers of this constitution
made a profound study of the wrecks
OF past republics. They tried to find
out how it was and why it happened
that previous demOcracies had
proved failures. They introduced
provisions calculated to avoid these
defects, and created a government
that has lasted 143 years, and which
is the best established one on earth.
Also it has overturned the govern
ments of the world. Where most
civilized states were formerly king
doms and empires, now the majority
of them are either actually demo-
cratic, or else they feel it necessary
to claim to be.
Our people may well be proud that
their ancestors and predecessors
produced a system of government
that has thus shaped history. 1t has
made our country the best on earth,
and eventually it is likely to prove
the model for all peoples. We can
well observe Constitution Day, and
pay reverence to the genius of the
statesmen who framed this immortal
document. We must cherish it and
preserve it, keep it safe from friv-
olous tinkering, though We must not
hesitate to make such additions to
it as changed times may call for.

TIME TO GET BUSY

The coming of autumn weather
should mean the revival of commun-
ity activities. Our schools and
churches resume their labors. Peo-
pie have completed their vacations,
and are ready to settle down in their
usual activities of the fall and win
ter.
Now is the time to push ahead for
all movements for community bet
terment. 1t is the time for our or
ganizations here in Milford to plan
more active campaigns for their va
rious purposes. 1t is an excellent
time to plan efforts for needed COM
munity improvements. 1t is fine
time for the business men to consid-
er efforts by which they can enlarge
their trade, and make their COM
munity more of a business center.

Milford, Friday, September 12, 1873,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

The Firemen of Milford are hold
ing their annual carnival, through
and by which they derive money TO
pay their bills, for maintaining a
modern fire fighting equipment, as
well as the interest on the remain
ing cost of building their handsome
community building, which is an
outstanding testimony of the prog
Tess that Milford has made in past
fifteen years. From the carnival has
come the principal part of the reve-
nues, if not all surplus over cost of
operating the building. Now this
present season of 1880 so far shows
a great falling down of receipts, up
to Thursday of this week.
Fire is your individual hazard, be
it a modest little home, or large
business. The farms receive pro-
lection, so far as the firemen are
able to give without adequate water
supply, so it is duty all must per-
form for safety to property and pos
sibly life, to attend the Firemen's
Carnival in Milford each night from
now until its close, and help to raise
money for this most important part
of public safety of property.
Take a chance on everything,
spend as much as you can afford and
remember that when calamity by
fire comes, you will be glad that you
have supported literally this i'm
portant organization-and it's annual
carnival.

receiving for them.
Soy beans are looking much bet

larger crop than they expected. This
has been brought about by the re-
cent rains.
Scarlet clover has been sown and
some of the fields look handsome
This has proven to be wonderful
crop to turn under to be followed
by corn.
Turnip patches look thrifty-if all
that is sown make a fair crop, tur-

Spring.
Late potatoes are in good shape,
and reaching that stage where. they
will be sure to make crop. The
several rains we have had of late is
responsible for this.

Church News.
The church school was better at
tended Sunday. So teachers and
scholars being present. The lesson
for the day was carefully gone over
and all who took a part felt that
there was something to be learned
each Sunday, in the study and dis
cussion of the Bible truths which
the lesson unfolds.
There are so many things to learn
that we all should know. People
will never understand God until
they have had Communion with Him
and know His ways and try to do
His will.
The Children of Israel from the
time of Saul, the first King seem to
do we'll for awhile, but they soon
forgot the One who had been so
kind to them. So their lives had
been a hard one, from one sin to
until the coming of the boy
King of the lesson of today. AS he
was only eight years when he began
his reign, there must have been
strong able men supporting the
King to make his reign so success
full. Hieklah? the high priest was
there and others whose aim was to
bring the people back once more to
the worship of God. Josiah was a
real reformer and his reign of thir-
ty-One years like his father David /,
was one where great things was ac-
which meant much to
the people of Israel.
Josiah worshipped JehOrah with |
a whole heart. His very soul was
wrapped up in his love for God |
alone and his delight was to do at
all times his Masters will.
There is a splendid lesson to learn
rom the life of Josiah. Do the peO-
pie of the world today recognize
his fact? And will the time ever
come when the people will turn
rom sin unto righteousness.

By REV. JOSEPH r. SIZOO,
Pastor Of the NevO York Ave~ue Presbyterian Church.

One day a rather distinguished American
ritter attended service here and was granted
ne privilege of sitting in the Lincoln pew. 1,
loved him profoundly; indeed, q person must
ave heart of stone not to be touched by
nat privilege. Going to his home after thai
srvice, he wrote this epic on the Lincoln pew;
Within the historic church both eye and
soul
Perceived it, Twas the pew where
Lincoln sat
The only Lincoln God hath given to
men
Olden among the modern seats OF prayer.
Dark like the Sixties, place and past
akin.
All else has changed. but this remains
the same.
A sanctuary in q sanctuary.
Where Lincoln prayedl What passion
had his soul
Mkt faith and anguish melting Into
prayer
Upon the burning altar Of Gods fame.
A nations altar even as his own!
Where Lincoln prayed! Such worship
Make thin ranks down the ages. Would'ss
thou know
His spirit Suppliant? Then must thou
feel
Wars fiery baptism. taste hates bitter
cup,
Spend similar sweat Of blood vicarious
And sound like cry, IF 1t be pOSSiblel"
From stricken heart, I'm new Gethsemane.
Who saw him there are gone. as he II
gone;
The pew remains, with what God gave
him there,
And all the; world through him. So let
it be
One Of the peoples shrines.

cent Ambassador from France NJ DaeSchner,
the only Protestant Ambassador Francs has ever
sent to America worshiped with his family in
this church.
ONE of the very impressive moments in the
history of this church occurred some Sum-
mers ago when the great commoner, William
Jennings Bryan. lay dead in the church. When
his body was brought into the church thou
sands Of people were waiting in line for an OPP
pOrtunity to view him in his flag draped casket.
That procession never ended night or day
from Wednesday until Friday. From the pulpit
OF the church there was spoken to his be-
reaved family and innumerable friends words
of comfort and words of praise which ne so
richly deserved. Mr.. Bryan had something to
do with my entrance into the Christian min
istry; he always worshiped in this church
whenever he in Washington; and it was
singularly appropriate that he should be carried
from it to his final resting place in Arlington
This church has become significant in the
history of the Presbyterian Church at large
because 1t was here that the General Assembly
met before which came the famous Briggs trial.
It was in this church that the committee on
revision of the confession of faith OF the Pres
byterian Church held its meeting and in 1899
it was in this church that the General Council
of the Reformed Churches throughout the world
holding the Presbyterian system of government
was organized.
But while there are many historical aSS0ct-
atoms which bind this church to the life OF the
Nation, surely foremost Of them all is the fact
that 1t was here that Abraham Lincoln wor-
SHIPPED while he was President of our country.
We are very proud of the Lincoln pew, which
has been preserved until the very present, max
ing it a shrine within shrine. A minister OF
the church once said of this pew: ct had
rather sit in that pew If it were made of mud
or dirt, than In one of beaten gold; it will be
a mecca for our PresbyterianS and an influence
of patriotism for our children and children's
children"
