sary Service In MethO-
dist Shrine.

The dominate role of Barratt's
Chapel in the history of Methodism

by the Reverend Frank NJ. Volk.

Church, Wilmington, in his sermon
at the 164th anniversary service

Der stood on the lawn.
Taking as his text, What Mean
Ye BY These Stones,' the speaker

fluence, since December IA, 1884,
when the Reverend Francis AS
bury, early American preacher and
organizer. and Bishop Thomas
Coke, who had just arrived from
England, held their first confer
ence in the chapel. Out of this
meeting grew plans which resulted
in the formation of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in America

Since that time BarTatt's Chapel
has been known throughout the
country as the Cradle of Meth
cdism."

County Oil Men
Elect Officers
Problems Are Also Discussed At
SeafOrd Meet

The Sussex County Division, AS
ISOLATED Petroleum Industries oil
Delaware, met last Friday at the
Pure Oil Products Company to
elect officers and to discuss prob
lens of special interest to highway
users of the county.
1.-THE oil men of this county have
been organized for several years
as a unit of the statewide organi-
zation," stated ]. Emory Wiley,
chairman of the county group. I'VE
have always acted in the interest of
our automotive customers who pay
a staggering load of taxes, state
and federal. Today our interest in
highways is greater than ever, for
war has brought home TO America
how vital highway transportation
is to our economic well being.
1.-The postwar period will bring
many new problems to the high
way user. During the past two
years, the normal program of high
way construction has been sharply
restricted on account of shortages
of materials and manpOwer and it
is evident that in the immediate
posht-war period our highway con-
structiOn program must be accel-
Grated to restore our system to gen.
orally recognized standards. AT the
same time, this must be accom-
plished under a financial plan that
will not add further to the heavy
tax burden to which the highway
user is now subject.
"One objective that must be ae-
complished is the dedication of all
taxes assessed against the motorist
to highway use. Fifteen states now
have constitutional amendments
the diversion of motor
fund monies to any other purpose.
II is imperative that this proposal
be accepted, a constitutional amend
ment adopted, and the present Zone
Fund" act either modified or re-
pealed."
