Miss Roberts has already arrived in the city, and is at present busily engaged in preparing an elaborate program of activities for the various clubs of the local Y. W.

Miss Jackson recently tendered, her resignation to the directors of the local association in order that she might return to her home in Texas. During her service as girls' work secretary, of the Wilmington association, she endeared herself to all members, with whom she came in contact, and it was with great reluctance that she was released by the board of directors.

H. Waring yesterday purchased through J. G. Wright and Son, a very attractive bungalow on Grace street near Fourteenth. Mr.

Warring is connected with the American Express company, and has lived in Wilmington some years. He expressed gratification over the growth and development of Wilmington, and the splendid class of homes that are now being built. He stated the Wilmington he finds now is a changed city from the Wilmington he left, and is enthusiastic over splendid streets, fine high school and other public buildings. Mr. Warring hopes to live here' indefinitely, but states that he feels no uneasiness of this should business call him elsewhere, as Tie believes any purchase of Wilmington real estate, made with judgment, is bound to prove a good investment.

J. L. Becton, engineer in charge of the development of the Westbrook Gardens, reports that the work here is getting along splendidly. The heavy rains of the past week were a temporary delay, but with additional forces, this has been offset and in a short while this property will be well drained and ready for residences.

Chadbourn and Liouis T. Moore, the latter as secretary of the chamber of commerce, has addressed a letter to Dr. F. F.

Burnett, superintendent, and Dr. J. W. Kay, assistant superintendent, "recommending the work you are doing for the community, with the hope that individuals and organizations will manifest a substantial degree of interest in cooperation with you." Quoting the letter: ''All of the offices and rooms were absolutely oleaKi and crderly. The nurses on duty seemed to be very polite, efficient and much interested in the cases over which they have supervision.

"It was a surprise to us to learn of the splendid work which is being conducted by the institution. We were also surprised somewhat to ascertain that there were approximately 20 patients under treatment. It was also a point of interest to learn that during the week 17 major operations had been performed by various surgeons of the city. "We were to know that the white physicians and surgeons cooperate with you in performing operations, and in giving suggestions as to the conduct of the hospital. We know of no better medium of relief to suffering humanity than sucti an institution as yours.

"It was rather interesting to know that some of your patients settle their accounts with donations of foodstuffs, such as chickens, eggs, etc Mr. Chad-bourn and the writer were much impressed with the. way in wVich you cooperate with your patiets in aiding them to defray necessary costs of Of course, the foregoing reference is entirely apart from the charity work. "The itemized statement of accounts, which you filed with Mr. Chadbourn while we were there, indicates that the hospital is bein managed on a most efficient and businesslike basis, and with the limited funds at your disposal you are securing splendid results."

Hampton Moore, mayor of Philadelphia and president of the association, as follpws: "Mayor Cowan, in his address, spoke of the renewal of the affinity between the north and the south. It is a new illustration of hands across' the sea, so to speak. The pine tree and the Tar Heel have come together. Some day when Cowan is governor, we will wonder what the governor of North Carolina will say to the governor of Maine." Although there were nine other speakers addressing the convention, Mayor Cowan, President Hampton Moore and a local speaker, were the only ones quoted in the Portland Evening Express.

The speakers included: N. W. Bur-rltt, for Connecticut; William Meikel-john, of Pawtucket, for Rhode Island; W. S. Feathers representing New York; Godley; for Pennsylvania; Dr.

At the outbreak of the civil war, he enlisted and served during the four years, being badly wounded twice. He was a man of remarkable vitality.

In reviewing the story of Christ's trial before Pilate. Dr.

Gilmour said: "If it had not been for' the Infamous act of the Roman governor, in condemning Jesus Christ to death, the name of Pilate would have been consigned to Limbo, ages ago, by historians." Asserting that Pilate's scruples were opposed to acquiescing in the demand of the mob for the life of Christ, the speaker, also asserted that Pilate did not have the manhood to sustain his principles. The speaker referred to Christ as the "Gallilean peasant. Whose modest garb betrayed the fact that He belonged to the humble class." He cited political conditions obtaining through Ceasar's kingdom, particularly the attitude of the Jews, saying, "it was impossible for Pilate and the Jews to be on friendly terms, and even If Pilate had been the most lenient of rulers, the Jews would have despised, him, feeling as they did that they were God's chosen peoole, they could not feel like bearing the Roman yoke." He gave intimate treatment upon the predicament of Pilate, with Ceasar on one side, the chief priests and Pharisees on the other, and said that the Jewish people were antagonistic to the Roman government, because ot the graven images Pilate had set up within their province. They petitioned Pilate to obtain orders from Cea-sar, hie master, ordering removal of these images. Dr.

Gilmour declared some historians sneak of the Roman governor's condemnation of Christ to death, as VPI-late's murder without trial." He referred to the rabble of the mob on the streets of the Holy City, described the flimsy charge of blasphemy preferred against Christ by the Jews, and said that the Jews regarded it illegal to put him to death without Pilate's sanction. He illustrated clearly how quickly the people changed their attitude toward Jesus, after "He had fed them when they were hungry, healed" them when they were sick, restored life to the dead, and yet this mad mob now clamored for the death of their benefactor." fWhat accusation do you make against this Pilate asked the mob, and they substituted the religious charge of blasphemy, by accusing him of rebelling against Ceasar; that He refused to pay tribute to Ceasar." the speaker declared. "Even Pilate had a conscience," Dr. Gilmour stated, and, continuing, "but he thought he could ilo nothing further to antagonize the Jewish leaders. Christ was well known to the people, as He had not lived in tne corners of the earth, but had proclaimed His doctrines openly." Prior to the sermon.

Dr. Gilmour expressed appreciation of himself and family for the handsome manse that is being prepared for their occupancy Ten thousand passengers sailed in one day this summer on 14 transatlantic liners from New York for Europe, and it is estimated they spent a total of about $15,000,000 on their trips.
