MT. Lebanon Church.

The citizens of Rockland and vicinity
appear'to be we'll pleased with the ap-
pointment of Rev. w. II. Hendrickson
as their pastor. The congregation last
Sunday was one of the largest that has
assembled there within the past three
years, and all appeared to enjoy the
services. By proper effort the mem ber.
ship may be increased, and the church
be restored to something like the useful.
ness it possessed In former times. There
Is no good reason why it should not
take rank with Mt. Salem, Mt. Pleasant,
Bethel or any of the country churches
in the county. The pastor will no doubt
endeavor to do bis part faithfully and
fearlessly, and the wholesome truths
utte red should bring forth an abundant
harvest. RocSland is pleasant neigh
borhood, the country round about is
quite thickly settled and there is an
ample field for prosperous church.
We hope the brightest anticipations of
all connected with it will be fully
realized.

Letter from st. Georges, Del.

ST. GEORGES, Del, April Is, 1885
Our t0wnsman, Mr.. VIM. III. BentZ
Is still suffering with chronic rheuma
tism He has not been able to do a
days work since October 28tb, 1884, and
has been almost entirely confined to the
house during this time, only being able
to get out for short time on few CT
the warm days of late.
We learn that his physician, l. c.
Vallandjgham, has requested him to 60
to Atlantic City for II few weeks, and
| try the warm sea water baths OF that
place, believing that they will benefit
him, and we sincerely hope these baths
may restore him to health. He will
leave for Atlantic City in few days.
Mr.. BentZ was born in Wilmington,
Del, in 1889, and moved to Philadel-
phia in 1856. He entered the army at
| the breaking out of the civil war, In
the National Guards of Philadelphia,
for three months, from which command
he was mustered out of service In
August, 1861. He was citizen for
eight days, when he again enlisted In
| the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and con.
tinued to remain in service until
August 81, 1865. He has good record
as q soldier, and upon one occasion re.
ceived furlough for 25 days, for gal
liant action in battle.
He was promoted through several of
the non commissioned grades to the
rank of first lieutenant, and it was
through exposure in the army that he
contracted the rheumatism. Mr.. Bentz
has been employed upon the locks of
the Delaware and Chesapeake canal, at
| st. Georges, Del, for the last eighteen
years, the exposure of which has ag-
gravated his disease. He once had the
Opportunity, during the sickness of the
Superintendent of the locks, to render
quite q service to the canal company.
BY his untiring energy, during a very
heavy rain storm, he was enabled to
prevent the breaking of the towpath,
which would have caused the loss Of
several thousands of dollars to the COM
pany.
The canal company, at its annual
meeting, recognized the service of Mr..
Bentz, and voted him vote of thanks.
Mr.. Bentz ia capable of q situation in
some clerical position, which his long
service and faithfulness to the canal
company entities him to, which would
relieve him from the exposure connec-
ted with his present situation. We
hope he may soon get well. A.

ades Away

Much of the love that promises to be
eternal fades and pales from the lack OF
mutual service. Friends, at first eager
to pour out their love In every possible
way, thinking no task too hard and no
sacrifice too great that may add to the
happiness of each other, after awhile
relax their efforts, perhaps almost un-
consciously. Each one, however, is
keenly alive to the change in the other,
and hence arise suspicion and distrust
and a sepse of injury, and love in such
an atmosphere 10 sure to lsnRuish.
