Senator Griffenberg's so-called
doctors bill" to permit filling of
prescriptions of liquor for medicin-
al purposes was defeated in the
Senate Tuesday afternoon of last
week by a vote of 13 to 4. The
vote on the measure follows: Yeas

Tomlinson, who happened to be
present in the Senate at the time,
was extended the privilege of the
floor and advocated passage of the
measure. He gave two specific in
stances of the saving of lives by
the use of alcoholic stImulants. He
spoke from a humanitarian stand
point. DR. Tomlinson claimed that
several women drys are favorable
to the doctors bill He said that
Mrs. James H. Hughes favored
such measure, but Mr. Hughes,
who was present at the time, de
MED this. Mrs. Anna L. Walker.
president of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union of the

not see why doctors should pre-
scribe liquor, and spoke of the pos
sibility of causing drunkards. Sen
ator Keith said he could see no
need for the measure and claimed
it would be means Of placing sa-
looms in corner drug stores. Rep
resentative Flynn, of Wilmington,

feated by a vote Of s yeas to 21

the most dangerous that has been
brought before the Legislature He
set out in a short talk his opposi-
tion to the bill, and among other
things said it would require that
the name of every informer be
made known. Representative Vir-
den argued that the name Of every

er, should be known. Mr.. Tatnall

Observing Easter Sunday The
sun arose Easter morning on a
cloudless sky and in comparison
with the preceding rainy weather,
the morning was respondent, such
one as would call all so inclined
to unite in the public observance
in commemorating the great event
to the human race in the fact of a
risen Lord and Savior. At the
Episcopal Church the event was
celebrated as is the custom with
this church in its full significance.
The moral decorations were in per-
feet taste, beautiful and bright
flowers adorned the chancel en-
closure, conspicuous among which
was crimson cross sent by Miss
Hettie Williams from Philadel-
phia. The music prepared for the
occasion consisted of the following
selections: Anthem, Christ Is Ris-
en-; Christ Our Passover;
Gloria Patri"; TIE Deum; Jubilate
Dec; 104th Hymn; Gloria Tibi;
"Ripples of Melody; 1O3 Hymn;
"Trisagion"; 2O6th Hymn; Gloria
In Excelsis". This same program
will be repeated next Sunday. The
Rector, Rev. William B. Gordon
preached an impressive discourse
from Revelation 5th chapter In
the evening the church was crowd
ed long before the hour to witness
the Sunday School anniversary and
presentation of Missionary offer
ings. At the proper time the
school, each class bearing a ban
ner, marched from the Chapel in
procession through the aisles sing

the rector and class missionary
contributions which amounted to
$50.
The Presbyterian Church in its
vigorous antagonism to Catholic
ism in its early days, took the ex-
treme in the other direction and
rarely observes the festal days of
the church, believing rather in a
strong creed and unwavering faith.
Rev. J. T. Umsted, however, took
for his subject why Should It Be
Thought a Thing Incredible That
God Should Raise the Dead" an
illucidation Of Pauls great argu-
ment from verse SO to the end of
the 18th chapter 1st Corinthians to
show that if God could raise from
