WHAT Of THE SIGHT T
The Hiaalonary cause Earnestly
Defended Itjr Hev.Dr.RIttenlioaae
a Former Pastor of at. Paul's M.
E. Church. *
Yesterday was missionary day at the
3t. Paul's M. K. Church, and the oc
casion was celebrated with appropriate
services. Rev. Dr. Uitteuhouue in the
morning pleached a sermon in refer
ence to the missionary work. He took
for his text : "He oalleth to me out of
8eir, watchman, what of the night."—
Isaiah, 21: 11.
In his introductory remarks Mr. It.
said that the watchman was standing
in Jerusalem like a ientiuel on a watch
tower. He uuderstood the question
which came to him, and answered ac
cording to the word of God; Those
menoutofSeir like many rich men
were anxious to know what of the
night; they desired to know whether
the morning was near.
The speaker asserted that numerous
persons oontend that savage tribe* can
not lie evangelized, nor do they deserve
t. be so. Others contend that the
Chinese and Japanese do not interfere
with them, while still others say that
at home all our resources are needed.
He also said that frequently merchants
and travelers on their arrival home
from distant lands frequently assert
that the missionary work is a useless
undertaking, but when their testimony
is compared with facts it is fouud to be
untrustworthy.
A traveler once came home from a
foreign town at which the mission work
was established and said that tbe work
was fruitless, hut when the facts became
known it was learned that the inform
ant knew nothing of the matter, as
thousands of children were cared
for by the missionaries.
Another traveller returned from a
distant land and complained of the ex
travagance of the missionaries. He said
that the miseionaries lived in housea
which were made of mahogany and
which possessed mahogany doors, while
the people at home were satisfied with
common pine doors. When the facts
became known it was learned that the
man had omitted to say that pine at
that plaos was very soarce, and conse
quently the value of pine wood was
greater than mahogany.
The speaker said that the reports of
these persons were owing to their igno
rance. In order to prove his assertion
he cited an incident of a minister who
had traveled in Syria. The minister
said that it was hardly worth while to
spend time on these missions as no pro
"What?" said the
gress was made,
missionary, "did you not hea» Rev. Dr.
Thomp3ou preach in English this morn
ing?" ''Did you not hear Dr. Vandyke
preach in Arabic this afternoon?" "Did
you attend our school in Bay Root?"
"Did you visit our printing establish
ment which employs twenty men?"
The minister knew nothing of this, he
hadn't enough iudustry to inquire into
the matter.
In the Fijee Islands, wars were in
cessant and murders prevalent. The
Wesleyan missionaries translated the
Bible in the language of the natives of
the islands and their meetings were at
tended by 24,000 persons. The efforts
the missionaries had paved the way
for the trade which exists there by mer
chantmen. Whereas natives of the
Sandwich islands sixty years ago were
conscienceless aud lower than dogs,and
among whom licentiousness was very
prevalent, were now children of God
and peers of saints.
Mr. R. rebuked persons who ridicu
led tbe missionary work."Mark Twain"
said he, " makes himself merry over
South Sea native converts,but if he had
been at Antioch he would have fouud
Paul or other persons to ridicule. That
U. 8. Consul who threatened to open
the port holes of his vessel and fire
upon a native town, was because the
natives would not change their licen
tious laws in favor of his crew.
It was no wonder that ex- W. S.
Consul Butler ridiculed the missionary
work because tlie natives would not
uphold his immorality.
Tho good done by missionaries is not
always made immediate by apparent.
m ssionary had worked thirteen
years in Germany, one twelve years in
Persia aud another twenty years in
New Zealand without being rewarded
a single convert, but now there
were 14,000 communicants in China
and 40,000 persons had renounced
idols. Up to the year 1871 in Birnuh
20,000 communicants were announced
and 90,000 persons had renounced idols.
The doctor cited many Instances of the
missionary work which had beeu
falsely dated.
Iu answer to the question "What of
night?" he answered that the morn
beginning to dawn. In foreign lands
there were 2,500 missions, seventy Pro
testant societies, 23,000 natives are
preaching, there are 40,000 nominal
Christians, 14,000 communicants. The
Bible was translated into 200 langu
ages, 0,000 heathen children attended
Christian schools. This was a reasona
success aud hopes ffere being achie
ved.
ot
of
the
lu answer to the charge that ihe mis
sionary work demanded an axtravagant
co3t he said that one year's interest, of
war debt at six per cent, would
keep the work in progress at l 4 ratio of
their present expenses until the Millen
nial age.
The speaker said that those who con
tributed yesterday for the missionary
cause were contributing for home work
well as foreigu. Forty per ceut. of
every dollar contributed at home goes
abroad, while the remaining sixty per
ceut. is devoted to home use. The
amount spent abroad is not mis-spent
wheu compared with the expenditures
home. The amount of money ex-,
pended on four large churches iu New
York will support all the missionary
work abroad, and the baptism of the
Holy Spirit abroad would be three times
greater than at those four churches.
While there were 933 conversions at
home there were 1,500 abroad, or while
there were four at home there were ten
abroad.
While the Indians at home volunta
did not possess civilzition abroad it
owing to a case of necessity.
Tue amount apportioned to the St.
Paul's Church for the missionary cause
$600. Of this amount $300 had
the
to
tho
h.
the
of
been obtained by the Sabbath School.
An effort was made to secure the re
maining |300, one-third of which
amount wonld be devoted for hoine
missions. The members of the church
responded liberally to the request.

A bean of Time—Tbe Peacb Proa,

• u heard of and tbe Danger Ureat
—Lota of Rada on tho Tree*.
With mild weather the peaeh trees
will be in bloom in ton days. In Kent
aud Sussex counties they will be out in
a few days unless a eold snap oomes.
There is always a difference of about a
week's time between tbe blossoming of
the trees lower down and those in this
county. Last year around Seaford and
Georgetown the trees were beautiful
with bloom by April 15th. In the
neighborhood of Harrington and up to
wards Dover they name oat by April
lffth and 20th. -f , "
In New Castle county they were about
eight or ten days later than this. The
mild weather that we have had this
winter has had a wonderful effect^n
the peach trees, as well as on ev^y
thing else. The sap has almost started
running, and the buds hare appeared.
They are fully a month ahead of time.
Half a dozen twigs were sent to the Re
publican offioe on Saturday. They
were cut in the orchard of a farmer
friend near Chesapeake City, Md. Nu
merous buds covered the twigs, and
they seemed about bursting into bloom.
They were quite healthy. The gentle
man who sent them said the trees were
unusually full of buds, and they ware
a month in advance of last year.
Mr. M. 11. Baxsciii, a prominent farm
er in the lower part of the county, nald
on Saturday that his peach trees were
full of buds, as were all the other trees
in his neighborhood, and they were
unusually forward.
United States Marshal MoMullin is
one of the leading praotioal fruit grow
ers of the county. On his New Castle
Hundred farm the trees appear very
forward, and will be in -bloom quite
early. On Saturday the Republican
asked him:
"How does the cold weather affect
the yonng peach ?"
"The germ of the peaoh," he replied,
"is iu the centre of the bud, aud is
covered all over by it. Warm weather
causes the bud to burst. It gradually
UDfoids until it is in full bloom. In the
centre of the cup-like formation is the
little peach, and the blossom remains
around it until it is strong enough
to live by itself. There is always more
or lees moisture around the blossom,
and if a freeze or a heavy frost comes,
the result is disastrous to the peach.—
Of course the earlier the period of bloB
soming the greater tho dangers to be
encountered.
"Tell me about the outlook at this
time?" "It is hard to tell whether the
weather will be against the peach or
not. If we knew what kind of weather
we wonld have and when we oonld
have it I could tell yon at once.—
Should this kind of weather continue
for a week the treea will all be out in
bloom. Then let a heavy frost oome
suddenly aud in my estimation the crop
will be hopelessly injured. If cold
weather comes in a few days and re
mains at the freezing point for several
days no great injury would oome aud
tbe peaoh would then be better able to
stand the cold after that.
"How far ahead of the usual time are
the peaches ?"
"Certainly a month, may be more. I
never knew the trees in this county to
bloom before April 20th. This year
they will be out before March 20th.—
Being earlier in the season of course
the danger from cold will be increased.'
"If the weather should continue and
the spring be mild throughout, would
this early blooming be a benefit?"
"Yes, a decided one. You see they
would have a longer time between the
blossoming and the ripening in which
to mature, which would make the fruit
much finer. I Lavs generally noticed
that even great earliness in blooming
does not make the period of ripening
much earlier."
Sam Townsend tbe other day made a
critical examination of his orchards,
and gives it out that the peaches are
safe and there is no immediate cause
for fear.

Several of the leading organizations
ot this city are already on the lookout
for suitable places for excursions dur
iny the coming season, and although
the Shields' Library Association has
not as yet taken any steps iu the mat
ter, it can almost positively be asserted
that, as in past years, they will give
their popular annual excursion to Cape

August. This Association has an es

AT POLICE COURT.
A Victim of ''FilteoB''—Tbe Levy
conrt'11 Row Departure-A Faulty
Telephone.
11
Colonel McLain brought Peter Given
into tbe dock at Police Court, Sunday
morning. He stood him up in one cor
ner, and left him there. Peter present
ed a Indiorous spectacle, and his visage
wore a doggad expression.
"Were you drunk?" asked Mayor
Allmond.
"No, 1 wasn't."
A policeman swore that he found
Peter sitting on the oorner of Fourth
and Market streets, Saturday night, in
the pelting rain, with an umbrella un
der his arm, and a "gem" puzzle box
in his hands with all the blocks
gone.
He took the man Into custody, when he
broke away,fell down iu the gutter and
exclaimed as lie strnggled to his feet
that no piratical policeman should dis
turb him while he was Bolving the
puzzle.
"It aint so, yer Honor," said Peter,
"I wasn't drunk.''
'Peter Given what are you givin' us,'
said the mayor solemnly, 'isn't it bad
enough for you to get drunk, without
combining it with the sin of becoming
a driviling idiot over the game of '15.'
Your case is an aggravated one and I
will flue you fifty cents, and costs."
"I don'tcare, I've got lots of money,
pnt it on heavy, make it $10, make it
a million, consider it a capital case and
send me to jail without bail; anything
at all will suit but a penalty for drunk
enness."
"We havn't any penalties made to
order here," aaid the chief.
"Then can I appeal?"
"Yes."
And Peter went out aud sat down iu
the corridor, counted up his exchequer,
paid his fine and said he would consid
er the case settled if they would give
him back his empty puzzle box. He
got it and went off happy.
Tbe next man who came into the
dock had led hair, a nose like a rail
road spike and the Democratic eate
ohism written all over hisfiorid features.
His name he said was Thomas
Francis Bayard Elliott, and that he
considered himself nothing more or less
than a martyr.
The keeper of a saloon in the Eighth
Ward testified the T. F. B. E. came into
his place the night before and with an
intoxicated swagger declared that he
was the New-Castle County Levy Court
on an assessment expedition and pro
posed to assess every one in the room if
he had to wade through slaugher to ac
complish his sworn duty. He took up
bung-starter under the hallucination
that it was a had pencil,an 1, when an
inoffensive negro refused to confess that
be was on the assessment list- and
would vote the Democratic ticket here
after, he hit him over the head, and
chased the whole crowd out of the
813
room.
"I will fine you $2 and costs, Mr.
Elliott," said the Mayor, after he had
heard the evidence.
"You will hey, aud I'll pay it," said
the prisoner.
"And if you do the like again, I'll
double the fine."
"I'll have the money for you this
sort of thing is rather expensive, but I
have seeu an awful lot of fun," laugh
ingly remarked the prisoner as he was
led back.
It bad been about 2 o'clock Sunday
morning when the next prisoner, a
young man of respectable parents,came
up Market street. His hat was gone,
his nose was skinned, and he carried
his neck tie in his band, he walk
ed all over the street as though follow
ing the imaginary trail of a black
snake. Reaching tlie open space in
front of the City Hall, he ran up to the
letter box, hanging to the lamp post,
planted his feet firmly, and with a
hand on either side of his mouth, put
his facedown aud shouted at the top of
his voice, "halloa Exchange, auy body
there." He waited a moment but no
answer oame •through the imaginary
telephone, and he shouted again with
the same result. A last he got a reply
and was telling them to connect him
with a Front street saloon, when Ser
geant Dolan came out and took him in
the cells.
"Do I look like a pirate?" he inqui
ed at the court when he was arraigned.
The court did'nt say.
Do I look as if I would kill a man in
the heat of passion?"
"No you don't, but you would kill the
peace of the city by bawling through a
letter box for a telephone. Were you
drunk?" tsktd the Mayor.
"Say, can I have a telephone put on
that lump post?"
"No you can't. Were you drunk or
were you not."
"Why certainly I was. Thought you
knew it before. How much will my
little performauoe in the lettter box cost
me?"
"Fifty cents and costs."
The prisoner paid the tine and costs
promptly. Having shook hands with
chief and asked the reporters to
keep his name out of tbe papers, he
borrowed the warden's hat and took
departure.

The Action Of Three Infqullou*
Hen.
A large orowd was present at the
police hearings on Satnrday evening.
Mary Gardner bad John Delaney ar
raigned for assault and battery.
Michael Gardner, the first witness
said that his sister Mary on the 24th of
last December bad come to the shop
where he was employed and asserted
that John Delaney bad thrown hot
water at her. He further said that
Mary had supported the prisoner all
winter.
Mary Gardner stepped forward and
after having kissed the book, in tones
whioh betrayed a foreign brogue, de
clared that "John was the ornoriest
man you ever heard iu your life." The
day before Christmas poor John came
home very much intoxicated and im
mediately commenced to call his wife
very uncommendable names. This
exasperated Mary, she could not keep
her woman's tongue quiet. She there
fore commenced to pelt John with chin
music, and said that if he had called
her such names she would have scald
ed him. John seemed immediately
to have been seized with a bright idea
for like all good men he ran for the
tea kettle and supposing Mary to be a
pure white lily he commenced to throw
hot water at her, a very excellent way
to prevent lilies from drooping and
dying.
The witnesses seemed to disagree so
much that the Mayor finally dismissed
tbe case.
John was detained, however, for a
seoond offence. On Saturday afternoon
as an officer was passing the prisoner's
residence on Second street, lie heard
a wan inside swearing very loudly and
acting in a very disorderly manner.
The officer knew that there was a war
rant for the man's arrest and immedi
ately proceeded to the hall for the
papers. On his return the bird had
11 own but was caught at the depot. The
prisoner was fined one dollar and costs.
Thomas Johnson and George Morris,
two colored men, were tried for fight
ing at Warner's coal yard on Saturday
afternoon. Morris had left the yard
for the purpose of buying some matches.
On his return he met Johnson and be
gan to swear at him. Johnson said
that Morris ran and got a piece of coal
and threw it at hito. The former then
drew a knife and in order to proteot
his face from the blows which Morris
was dealing at him he raised his arms
wheH Morris struck his Land upon
Johnson's knife. The Mayor considered
both men guilty and lined each three
dollars and costs.

FROM LAUREL.
Pleasant Visit or Itae Red men ot
Lower Masses.
Special Correspondence of the Kepublioan.
Lat'KEL, March 5—I wish to ask for
a short space in your ever weloome pa
per, that I may give an account of a
friendly visit made by Itassakatum
tribe, Improved 0. R. Men, No. 15 of
Laurel, to Sinepuxent tribe, No/ 10 of
Whites Villa, whose hunting grounds
are about twelve miles distant from
that of Rassakatum. On list Thurs
day evening they arrived at Whites
Villa at six o'clock, and were kindly
received by the brothers of Sinepnxent
tribe, and our horses and one animal
of which I shall speak hereafter were
fed aud well oared for by our genial
friend and brother White. At half
psst seven o'clock, we were escorted to
the new and beautiful Hall, which
built by the tribe, as it were in its in
fancy, and which together with the
workings of the order, and the harmony
that exists among the members, tells ns
that they have taken hold ef the work
with their whole hearts, and with the
right spirit,and we think and hope that
the day is not far distant when this
tribe will beone of the shining lights
of the Improved 0. R. Men.
After the regular order of business
was gone through with, some time was
spent in speech making, interspersed
with various questions of information
for the mutual benefit of both tribes,
and by members of each order. After
which Brother J. T. Wells invited all
to visit his own wigwam, where he said
was burning a counoil fire, and
which Was being prepared for
oyster supper, and strange to say not
one refused to go.
We left the oompany at eleven o'clock
after an evening's enjoyment with
best wishes to Sinuepuxent tribes and
the family of brother Wells. Visitor.
