well as highly satisfied pastoral re-

jority OF charges under his care.
Mr.. Hallman, who has 6O charges
and two missions in the Dover Dis
trict, had almost 81 per cent changes
in pastors last year. He stressed the
successful revivals conducted in the
Dover District, saying that recent
services had led TO the conversion
of 81 persons at Kent Island; 80 at
Magnolia, 90 at Milford Neck, near
Frederica. and 10 in the FELTON, Dis

He also announced tnaJ the charge
at Burrsville, Nd, between Harring-
ton. Del. and Denton, Md, has been
re-opened after being abandoned for
some time, and that the Sunday
School now has an average attend
ance of more than 25 young people.
He said several other abandoned
churches in the district had been re-
opened or would be reopened shartly.
Dr. Bunting said the Salisbury
District had likewise experienced IL
good year. Gains in membership and
finances in the G2 changes and one
mission in the district he said were
general. particularly among charges
along watering places. where the
open season has been highly bene-
tcial of business and the conduct

the formation of q united front Of
leftist groups, with the Farmer-Labor

American industrial system based on

If this split occurs, which to me ap-

party liberalizes and modernizes its

liberals and conservatives within the

Of Jeffersonian and constitutional

I realize how unwise it is politically

Washington's Warning Cited.
President Roosevelt, instead Of re-
turning the powers granted him by
Congress in the emergency, persis-
tently asks for more. The adnloni-
ton of George Washington, in his
farewell address, is peculiarly applica-
bic to the idealogy of the master in
the White House, when he said: 1T
is important, likewise, that the habits
of thinking in free country should
inspire caution in those intrusted with
its administrator, to confine them
selves within their respective consti-
tutional spheres, avoiding in the ex-
ercise Of the powers Of one depart
ment to encroach upon another. The
spirit Of encroachment tends to Con-
solidate the powers Of all the depart

that love Of power, and proneness to
abuse 1t, which predominates in the
human heart, Is SUFFICIENT to satisfy
us Of the truth Of this position"
President Roosevelt's appetite for
power is steadily growing, and instead
OF renouncing 1t he seeks to perpetuate
that power and perhaps himself and
his administration. It must be self
evident that the restoration Of repre-
sentative, constitutional and our
American system of government will
be fundamental issue to unite JEFF

Gratis and liberal and conservative Re-

It is beginning to appear that an
anti-third term resolution such as

follows, may be an important factor
in the next campaign: Resolved, That

An appeal to the Republican party
10 liberalize its policies and transfer its
leadership from the Old Guard to

bers was voiced last night by Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish, Republican,
Of New York He spoke in the Ma

coast network of the National Broad
casting Co.
Under stupid, antiquated and re-

party, Fish said, had departed from
the principles enunciated by Abraham
Lincoln and is now being classified as
unfriendly to labor and to those with
small incomes.
Outspoken in his denunciation of
New Deal policies, Representative
