"The Ideal Christian—His Zeal." 2
Tor. 6 s 1-1«.
.1 take the four letters of the word
seal to try and impress the full sig
nificance of the work In regard to our
Christian lives Let our zeal for the
cause be the Zenith of our ambition,
and let It be Emulative of the tender
ness. mercy righteousness,
we may be Appreciative of the Love
that characterizes the great sacrifice
of our Saviour.
The zenith i B the culmination of
one's ambition or the line which in
dicates the heighth of the earnestness
to save souls for the Master. Each
of us must have some objective In
life or we live in vain: (1) some
have ag that objective the New Jeru
salem; (2) some have not thought of
this city as being a proper zenith;
(3) some never will accept the city
as their objective. The first catch a
vision of that which Is to them the
topmost step where the steps of life
end thig existence of worldllness and
the glorious new life of eternity be
gins. They see their Master in the
skies and determine to follow His
guidance. The enjoyment of this life
on this earth is the realization of the
presence of the Holy Spirit The sec
ond have not this enjoyment or the
hope of the future because they have
not accepted the Christ as tho example
they are to follow in service here be
low and they labor through life miss
ing all the beauties on account of their
negligence. These people will awak
en to their senses at some future day
and behold the glories of God. Tho
third are those who deliberately re
ject the Christ and who never have a
zenith to reach in this or the world to
come. They die in their sins and are
lost eternally.
With this zenith kept in view all
the while we should seek earnestly to
emulate the Christ. Emulative aa
commonly used means rivaling and I
do not use it in the sense that we
could ever hope to attain the perfec
tion of the Master but In the sense
that we are to try for the highest
perfection possible and the aspiration
of our lives be as near righteousness
as mortal man can claim. It is good
to emulate the Lamb in daily livji^g,
for while many know something at
least of the way He would have us
go we do not know the vital points
and we must keep reaching out for
the higher things in the truth of His
gospel. It is not good to emulate
worlydl men or things, for they are
vain and have no thought for the fu
ture, seeking only the lust of the flesh
and are blown about by every wind of
caprice that may lead them to, en joy
the full stomach and purse anîl the
fancy clothing on their bodies.
Appreciative, tho third is one which
wo could dwell indefinitely for It is
of such death. Have we seen apprecia
tive of God's wonderful blessings,?
Examine yourselves .and see for the
most part you have not. Think, my
friends, of that wonderful mercy to
us while we were yet in our sins!
How He sent Christ that we might be
saved from all our uprigbteousness;
how Christ taught us tho love of God
and presented the gift of eternal life
to the unworthy. It ought to stimulate
every heart action and make us zeal
ous in the extreme for the work. If
an earthly frieAid gave us a present
we would be anxious for a chance to
show how much we appreciated that
gift, but we fail in a great respect to
appreciate God's gift. The harvest
is ready for the workers in the Mas
ter's morsl vineyard. Who will work
today? When I see the many young
men and women of the city throwing
away their talents in useless things
and wasting their substance in wrong
living 1 wonder if there will he tho
workers to save them or if they will
be lost to the kingdom, being enticed
by the devil's smooth way to destruc
tion. There is room for the workers.
Get busy in the name of Christ.
Love is the beginning of and the
foundation for Christian characters.
Love of what? Surely not the love of
the world's alurements. But the itrve
of God that constrains ns to become
His. Love of God first because W
' first loved its ; love of man because we
are in God's image and brothers of
Christ; of our church because that is
where we worship our Creator; love
home because that is the sacred insti
tution we have from God to America;
love of our enemies because He loved
us who opposed Him in ail things. To
take Paul's version of it we have, "Let
love be without dissimulation; ab
hor that which is evil; cleave to that
which is good. Be kindly -affectloncd
one toward another with brotherly
love; in honour prefering one another;
not slothful In business; fervent in
spirit; serving the Lord."

Big Day in f. E.
Monday proved a big day in the C.
E. circles for Wilmington and the
State of Delaware. The State Execu
tive Coralttee held Its annual meeting

vital interest to the entire state. There*

tion the president. Rev. J. H. Straughn.
could not remain until the meeting
adjourned. His chair was very cap
ably filled, however, by the Rev. A. B.
Claypool and much of the business
was disposed of before the time for
the supper came around.
The financing o*f the work was the
chief feature of the program and re
ceived a lengthy discussion.
work of securing at least one hun
dred and fifty new subscriptions to the
Ç. E. World was püt in motion and
{he hopes of the committee were that In
view of the interest manifest three
hundred and sixty be secured. The
motive prompting the endeavor
that the state might send at least
delegate to the Los Angeles conven
tion. Ray Dubeli was elected as the
delegate and ail endeavors on the part
of the friends of C. E. will be heartily
appreciated. A supper consisting of
roast beef, baked beans, potato salad,
celery, pickles, coffee, rolls. Jellies,
ice cream, rake, was served and rel

RECTOR URGES
MARRIAGE BILL
Mr. Kirkus Says Much Al
ready Said Has Been
"Up in the Air"
Discussing the Ellison marriage bill
In Trinity Annals this mouth, the
Rev. F. M. Kirkus says;
"The desire for an improved mar-1
riage law Is finding expression in
so many different quarters that It i
will be strange indeed If something 1
la not accomplished during the pres
ent session of our State Legislature.
But much of what Is said and writ
ten is 'in the air,' and unless it is
formulated, and presented In some
regular way. and supported by public
opinion openly expressed, it will come
to nought.
"The Secretary of the Board of
Health, Mr. J. Austin Ellison, has
prepared a bill which was widely
published, apd which within the last
few days he has carefully, revised,
which In the opinion of the writer
deserves very careful attention.
"Among other Things he advocates
the transfer of the right to issue mar
riage 1 licenses in Wilmington from
the city magistrates to the city regis
trar. He advances certain practical
reasons for his suggestion, which on
grounds of civic policy are worthy of
consideration. But from the stand
point of the Churches It is not of
Importance to decide what city official
issues the licenses. Under the proper
la« the present system would work
as well as another, and there seem' to
be many practical difficulties in the
way of transefrrlng the license fees
from one department to another,—
even If it wtfre theoretically desirable
to do so.
"But In addition to this sugges
tion, Mr. Ellison Includes In his bill
certain provisions for that sort of pre
caution and publicity which Is being
demanded by all right-minded ciltzens
of our State. Briefly stated, the pro
posed provisions are as follows:
"I. No license shall be issued to
non-residents of the State unless ap
plied for In person by one or both of
the contracting parties.
,"2. The posting of full and true in
formation relative to all licenses with
in twelve hours after they arc issued,
in a conspicuous place where it may
he freely viewed by all who may de
sire to see it. and where it shall re
main for at least twelve hours after
it has been posted, 'the object of this
section being to insure full and
prompt publicity with regard to all
marriage licenses issued in the city of
Wilmington.*
"3. Licenses to be procured at. least
twenty-four hours before the time
when the ceremony is to he performed.
"4 "On the reverse side of the li
cense to be the form for the certificate
of marriage, containing the informa
flon given to the person issuing the
license as to the name, age, color, par
entage, birthplace, occupation and
residence of 4hc contracting imrtics
"Tit» proposed bill also provides for
penalties for the breach of tlje law
in any of its paris.
"It is to be hoped that these pro
visions. or something similar to them,
looking to the publicity of all mar-]
rlages contracted within the State,
will certainly be adopted by the Legls
lature."
F. E. Walling, a farmer living near
Yukon. Mo., strongly recommends
Foley's Honey ft Tar Compound and
says: "I have been advised by my
family doctor to use Foley's Honey ft
Tar Comopund for my children when
there w'as a cough medicine needed,
It always gives the best of satisfac
tlon and I recommend it to others."

work. Endeavorers! The reports of]
the different societies were especially
Interesting to the hearers. A feature
of the new business was a resolution
of A. Ray Dubeli, which is as fol
lows;
"Whereas, our new, hut beloved
brother, the Rev. William H. Hantz
mon, has been endeavoring with the
help.of Aliinghty God to fight a condt.
tlon of affairs in our State that, has
long been to our shame, and.
Whereas we feel that Uofi is w llh
our brother iu his flzht to rectify this
shameful condition in our marriage
laws. anti. .
Whereas, we are pledged to support
and assist it: any movement against
that which we know to be evil.
Be it therefore resolved that we are
heartily in sympathy with and.endorsej
most heartily Brother Hontz'mon In
his efforts to alleviate the conditions
which wc know exist in our state and
city, and.
Be it-further resolved that we pledge
him our support in any way or man
ner that wc can be of help In the
cause of Christ, and.
Be it further resolved that a copy of
this resolution be sent to th*e brother
and a copy to all the newspapers with
the request that they publish it, also
that this resolution he entered in our
minutes of this meeting.
The motion prevailed unanimously
by a rising vote. After a few short
talks by the members of the Executive
Committee and light refreshments
served by the Delaware Avenue So
ciety the meeting adjourned With ev-'
ery one In a good frame of miud and
new Inspirations to be more effective
for the Master in our service here be
