Rev. ]. A. B. Wilson's IntrOduc-
tory.


Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, the recently
appointed Pastor of Asbury M. L.
church was welcomed yesterday norn-
ing, by large and appreciative congre-
cation and if we may judge by the in
terest and enthusiasm manifested, the
people are more than satisfied with
the recent action of the Conference, in
appointing them pastor. He was
assisted in the services by Rev. j. E.
Mobray, Rev. A. T. Scott, and Rev.
Chas. Moore. His text was, Phil. 4:
6, I. "Be careful for nothing, but in
every thing by prayer and supplica-
ton, with thanksgiving, make known
your request unto God. And the peace
of God Sc, Three things were sugges-
ted to his mind by the text; The
thing to avoid; the thing to do; and
the result of the doing. The thing to
avoid was care and anxiety, not the
care of diligence, but the care of dis
trust, the care of doubt. We should be
active and diligent in business; but
should avoid allowing ourselves to be
oppressed Or depressed with matters be
yond our control.
After doing the very best we possibly
can, we must leave the result with God;
and net feel anxious about what the fu-
ture may develop. In constantly wor-
rying man takes upon himself burden
which he is unable to bear, and which
God never intended that he should
bear. We should carry no burden
which belongs to the shoulders of God.
1t does no good; it does much harm,-
harm to the man himself, for it, puts
out every ray of joy which was spring
ing up in the soul, and some times
makes man heavy-hearted that reason is
dethroned. 1t makee those around us
gloomy and does harm to the cause of
Christ.
The thing to do, was to make known
our requests unto God, remembering
that He never puts burden upon us,
unless He puts under us His own hand
| to sustain us. Our circumstances may
be peculiarly trying, but in every need,
| in every circumstances, every condition,
every thing, God had promised to help
US.
He concluded the sermon by speaking
OF the results Of casting our cares OF
God, of the joy comfort and peace which
it brought. God might not give us thu
exact thing we asked for, but He woulc
go far beyond it: for ours would be tht
peace which the angels could not fathom
the "peace that passeth all understand
ing"
Mr.. Wilson is a plain, earnest, i'm
pressive speaker. His sermons abount
with pointed illustrations, while hi
manner is kind and persuasive. W.
believe he is just the man for the plac'
and that he has been providentially
sent to do a great work for old Asbury
Going to Dover.
The Millard Club of this city havin
received an invitation from numbe
of young men of Dover, will leave thi
{ city on Wednesday evening in specia
train, about five o'clock. The fame {
this organization having extended
Dover these young men have bande
themselves together for the purpose @
giving the citizens of that town an or
portuuity of enjoying musical treat
and in order to pay expenses accrued,
nominal admission fee will be charged
The clubs visit to Dover is merely of
complimentary character. The trail
=. will probably stop at Middletown an
Smyrna to take on concert-going people
This is rare chance for the Dover pee
pie to hear good singing without com
ing to the city, or paying high price
to hear it. All classes of people of Dc
yer should give themselves rare trea
and sustain those who have made then
: selves responsible for the expenses I
, the entertainment. The club will r.
turn about twelve o'clock.
Spring Trade.
, All things are now ready at the Model tail
store for the regular spring trade, and as Il
. success of the establishment in the short tin
of its existence has been unprecented by ar
like enterprise, 1t should be an argument
I favor of the cutter who never fails tO give ge
eral satisfaction. Ford. Carson merchal
