pleasure in complying with your re-
quest hat would give YOU my i'm.
preston Of g Rehoboth Beach"
81 visited this interesting summer
resort last week, Sep. 18th and 18th, fOl
the first time, and too late in the sea son
to see the number and character of the
visitors to such a delightful location AZ
it must be in the heat of Ofsummer.
The gentlemen who selected the place
and nave invested their capital, ven
ture to predict, will ultimately realize
the most ardent of their wishes. 1t can
not be herwise for the following rea-
sons
lst. God, in natures operations, has
done all that man could wish that he
might have this abode by the sea.
md. For here in front Of the sea,
there is one of the finest beaches have
ever seen.
3rd. On this beach, which runs about
8 feet above high water mark, there are
already erected some beautiful summer
residences, and also two elegant and
commodiOus hotels, the Bright House
and HenlOpen Hotel, the latter a
new structure, which was opened to the
public last July, havinga capacity to
accommodate 200 persons, and furnish
ed in elegant style.
4th. orc OF the most pleasing features
in regard to Renoboth Beach is the skill
with which the engineer has laid out
and plotted the 800 acres belonging to
the corporation. Every person who
visits the place will note the avenues
and streets, which generally run At right
angles where they cross each other
But the avenues will be in the future
magnificent.
9Th. There is one remarkable feature
that all visitors will notice at once, VS..
the remarkable tirmneas of the ground.
As | walked over Rehoboth avenue it
seemed to me that was treading on
sOme macadamlZ Il street, that had
been prepared at great expense and by
the art of man. But the fact is that it
is the effect OF Gods handiwork, and
is seen all over the streets and avenues.
9th. made special inquiries re.
specting the safety In open sea bathing.
was assured Ivy some of the Oldest
residents, one Of whom had resided
there over forty years, that there never
had been an acCidem'. The undertow
is so very slight, that a person drowning
while bathing is almost impossible
7th. Finally, the character Of those
who have bought lots, put up structures,
IL ,nII hat
Rehoboth Beach will be place of no
small note in the future, as place to
which the lovers of good sea bathing
will resort, and 10 which those who are
seeking rest and recuperation, will not
meet with disappointment The place
musl necessarily la ye a future Of
renown. Therefore, let the Directors,
and those who have made investments,
patiently wait with faith in God, who
has done so much for them, and prayer
fully seek Gods guidance in all their
onward movements 80 that mistakes
may be avoided and regrets never
come.
"'rrust in the Lord, and do good.
Apology. Since my departure from
Rehoboth last Tuesday, have been
on the move, for l spent
Tuesday night IN Milford, part Of We'd
nesday in Dover, and staid over night
in Wilmington, Thursday night in
Philadelphia, travelled all night on
Friday, reached home ON Saturday,
preached to my church on Sunday, and
write You hurriedly to-day.
Remaining yours truly,
