BISHOP MCKINSTRY is
SPEAKER AT ST. AllNE'S
P. E. Church Head In Address Flags
GOdlessness

The Rt Rev. Arthur r. McKinstry,
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese OF Delaware, declared ''the
world is being subjected by Satan
incarnate' to the greatest human
tragedy in its history" at the 235th
anniversary service of Old st,
Anne's P. E. Church last Sunday
morning.
"Godiessness is fundamentally
back OF this present struggle which
is a struggle between paganism and
Christianity, for Hitler would stamp
out all religion" Bishop McKinstry
said.
"The three tenets Of the dictators
are: First, there is no God and If
there Is cne, He is unknown; second,
man must save himself; third, ma
terial effectiveness.
This is challenge to the church,
for the Christian believes that there
is a God. and that If this God were
merely utilitarian, he would not
have made the world so beautiful
God is the God Of love and there Is
no salvation outside of God.
Rapanism vs.. Christianity
Although we may never declare
war on the dictators of Europe, we
already feel the hot breath Of the.
struggle between paganism and
Christianity" the bishop continued
Ultimately truth viii prevail, but
we must be willing t. risk every
thing in It's cause"

This decision apparently ends the
long legal battle of the Democratic
party to regain control of the high
way commission by having the act
declared unconstitutional
Passed By Assembly
The last General Assembly passed
the act which in its original form
was declared unconstitutional be-
cause of a defective title. The act
was revised, passed over the gov
ernor's veto and then brought into
Superior Court by the Democrats.
The decision declaring the corr
rected act as constitutional was
given in Superior Court last Sep
tembtr.
Former o. s. Judge Hugh M. Nor
ris and s. Samuel Arsht, represent
ing the Democrats, appealed this de-
cision to the State Supreme Court,
with that tribunal reaching a con-
curing opinion on Tuesday.
In addition to increasing the
membership Of the commission the
act likewise removed the Governor
as a member, ex-oficia.
