Father Draghetti began his eloquent discourse with the statement that the giver of scandal is the enemy who comes like the assassin or at night and sows cockle amidst the wheat while men sleep. It grows up almost instantaneously and uproots and the wheat.

Men do not realize the mischief the sin of scandal does to the Individual, the family, and even society itself. It 18 enormous in its damage, most sad in its consequences, most difficult to repair. Christ, said the speaker, came on earth to point out the way of truth, and every Christian is An Father Michaolangelo Draghetti. apostle. Nor is this a counsel; it is 9 precept.

Every Christian is bound to lead by example and by his every word his brethren in the way of truth and justice. Before this apostleship comes the sin of scandal. It 18 a sacred duty of every Christian to combat it because it not only impedes every good work, but paralyzes every effort to good. A human soul feels Itself called to a good life, but suddenly it halts and then turns back from the straight path. Now, what has happened? Scandal has paralyzed his power for good! But, my brethren, do not imagine that scandal Is a plague of our time only.

No, It has ever been in the world and will be to the end, because there has ever been and ever will be a war of good and evil, war between the city of satan and the city of God. I can say without fear of However, contradiction, that there has never been an epoch in which scandal has 80 wound Its meshes, around every round of the social life, and craftily spread its snares for our so The giver of scandal meets his youth. victim with smiling face and polished manner, with words of patriotism for Continued on Page Four, MEMORIAL DAY BIG EVENT AT COUNTRY CLUB Memorial Day will be appropriately observed at the Wilmingion Country Club, the house committee having arranged an interesting program, There will be a band concert beginning at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it club dinner beginning at be reserved by giving nottee to the ereserved by giving notice to the steward not later than Sunday, May 28.

DEMOCRATS ARE DISSATISFIED VOTERS ARE ALSO DISPLEASED WITH THE BIG DEFICIT OF THE PRESENT COUNCIL.

The Republican party intends to wage a vigorous campaign with the idea of electing the ticket nominated by a good, substantial majority, at the city election on June 3, and the present indications are that the result of the election will be a return of this city's government to Republican control. In the first place, the ticket, headed by Dr. Harrison W. Howell for mayor, la one calculated to appeal to the voting residents of this city, irrespective of political faith. The fact that the Republican party has demonstrated time and again that it can give the city a good, businesslike administration, it is believed, wil appeal to the voters in general, especially at this time when the city will wind up the fiscal year with something like $100,000 deficit.

Realizing that the party has the majority, the Republican workers in every district will see that the vote is gotten out, and that the Republican ticket will receive Democratic support seems highly probable, in view of the Democratic mayoralty fight. But the Republican leaders are not pinning any faith to Democratic support in order win the coming election, for they realize that they have the majority and will work to the end that the full vote is gotten out. The result of the coming election is of vital importance to residents or Wilmington, and so far as the Republican party is concerned, arguments will be presented to the voters. between now and the election which are expected to appeal to those who have noted difference between the last administration of the Republican party and the present one.
