An appeal by Governor c. Doug

ment for a grant of S1J5.000 tc
help the farmers of Sussex county,
where livestock is starving to
death as result of the destruction
of hay, corn and fodder crors by
the storm of August, 1888, has
been rejected because there are no
funds available for this purpose. it
was developed at Dover early last
week. Governor Buck wrote to
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator. on February 26
asking for this sum as the result
of an appeal to him by A. Fl. J7lok-
ms. chairman of the Sussex county
committee on farm relief, who said
the money was necessary to buy
feed for the farmers livestock
which was starving. These facts
were brought to LIGHT after Porre-
sentative Bennett had introduced a
resolution in the House which reso-
luton was adopted unanimously,
authorizing Speaker j. Thomas

Delaware's representatives. in Con-
gress and urge them to endeavor
to get some financial assistance
from the government to save the
livestock in Sussex county and
failing in this, to introduce z. hi,
IN Congress providing for an ap-
preparation for this purpose. In
urging the adoption Of the resolu-
lion MIR. Berrett gave statistics
showing that Of 1879 acres OF
beans planted, 1115 acres were de-
strcyed by the August storm last
year; OF 9275 acres of corn plant
ed, 1888 were destroyed; 1914
acres of tomatoes, 1856 were de-
stroyed! 2377 acres of potatoes
planted. 1437 were ruined; TSP
acres of watermelons, 514 DESTROY
ed. The estimated money loss, he
said was S171,41295. Farmers
are facing the most serious condi-
ton known in this State" he in
formed the House, land unless as
sistance comes quickly their cattle
will suffer, teams will not be in

deprived the farmers Of their chief
source OF revenue and they cannot
now buy feed for their livestock.

at 1912, more than the sum ask
ed for. A further basket collection
at the evening service swelled the
sum to a little over $4,000. The
church has been rich in presents
from the start and entered on the
first service with every possible
need supplied for convenience,
comfort and worship. The church

In Its Material and Architecture
It is built of green serpentine
stone from the quarries near West
Chester, Pa, and in the early
English Gothic style. The main
building is SO feet 4 inches in
length and 81 feet s inches in
breadth, with tower and spire
about 100 feet high on one side Of
the front and a porch on the other,
covered with slate, through which
entrance is obtained to the audi
ence room which is capable Of
seating about 800 persons. In the
rear of the building is chapel, AZ
feet in length, % feet in breadth,
communicating with the main
building by two doors, which is
neatly fitted up with furniture and
appliances suitable for Sabbath
school purposes, and weekly meet
ings of the church. The interior
of the main edifice beautiful and
attractive. Five heavy arch braces
and knees with turned corbels span
it, resting on the side walls and
which sustain the high pointed
roof. These are covered with white
pine; the ceiling is sheathed
against the rafters and across hOr-
izontally ten feet below the apex
of the roof with the same and
forms sounding board which
makes the acoustic properties of
the church perfect. The wains-
coating and the doors are also of
white pine, the color of the wood
being preserved with a hard oil
finish. The pews are made of ash
with walnut trimmings, each hav-
ing on the end a neat nickel plate
with the number. There are four
windows on each side of stained
glass, tastefully gotten up and ar
ranged with appropriate scriptural
or ecclesiastical emblems in the
arches. The front window is of
cathedral glass beautifully decor
ated, and with emblems in the
three kites, a dove representing
the Holy Spirit, a sbeaf of wheat

THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH Sunday was high" day
with the Presbyterian Congrega-
ton of this town and why should
mt it be when it is remembered
that less than one year ago they
were worshipping in a plain wood
en- structure at the extreme limit
of an unfrequented street, while on
this day they assembled in a green
stone church, praised by every one
for its beauty and pronounced by
DR. Mutchmore a structure that
would be called gem in the city
of Philadelphia, and what was
more, free of debt, or was made SO
before the close of the first ser
vice. BY the time the hour of wor-
ship had come, every seat in the
church was taken and as they still
came the visitors were accommo-
dated with chairs and benches
from the lecture room. The ser
vices were opened with a sentence
by the choir, The Lord Is In His
Holy Temple, etc." the music be-
ing composed by the Pastor. The
instrumental accompaniment was
by a Delaware State" Pipe Organ
built in Wilmington and used on
this occasion for the first time. The
prayer of invocation was by the
Pastor, Rev. j. T. Umsted, who
also gave out the first hymn and
read the 122 Psalm. The Lords
Prayer was then chanted, after
which Rev. c. Collins of the Cen
tennial Church, Philadelphia, Pres
bytery North, read Chronicles, 6
chapter and made what is called
the comprehensive or long prayer
in tender and appropriate Ian
guage. The choir then sang
Jubilate Dec, the music in anthem
form composed by the Pastor,
which as produced with good eff
feet, after which DR.. Mutchmore,
proprietor, and editor of the Pres
byterian, and Pastor of the Mem
orial Church, Philadelphia, was an
nounced as the preacher of the
day. The discourse was entirely
extempore and while forceful in
application and suggestive in prac-
teal thought as to Christian liv-
ing, it was clothed with a simple
ity that even a child could under
stand At the close of the sermon,
which occupied about an hour in
its delivery, the audience was pre-
pared to do their very best to-
wards liquidating the entire debt
and if there had been the proper
anticipation, the large faith of DR..
Mutchmore would have been real
lied in half an hour. After some
delay, however, the proper plan
was reached and the people gave
until the subscriptions and cash
amounted to some $1,000. The
whole Indebtedness was stated to
be about S1,8T5 and this was what
was asked. The contributions of
the little society and citizens had
been liberal up to this point and
many felt they had given all they
could, but. as they had come so
near to the whole amount, the
voice from the pulpit was that
they must not leave the house I'M
til the whole amount was raised.

ton remainder and at the end of
