To the Congregation of Christ Church,
Milford, Del.
Ny Dear BROTHERS and Sisters.
Your Rector has asked me to conduct a
Mission of eight days in your Parish
Church. I have promised, with Gods
help, to come to you next month. The
interest you have already shown encour-
ages me but in the two weeks that yet
remain before the Mission begins, want
you to do a great deal more than you
have yet done. With you must rest the
msk of making the Mission known to
those about you, OHe BY one. Many will
see the public notices and pass them by
with the thought, that is not for me. "
It is your part to carry home the call to
the Mission to each soul in Milford. You
can do it if you will. Icannot. Will you
do that much? You can at least put
copy Of this sheet, and of the list of ser
vices, into the hands Of those about you
but you must do more. Some cannot read
these words; some will not. To them,
above all, you must speak If you be-
lieve this is Gods call to you and others,
and do nothing, will you not place your
self under the woe uttered upon thoss
who "come not to the help of the Lord
to the help of the Lord against the
mighty. Judges. " 23.)
But let it be well understood by all.
Faithfully, Your Friend,

SILVER WEDDING.

Mr.. Editor: Thinking that some of
the readers of the REGISTER from this
section of the country might be inter-
ested in the recent "Hosley Silver
Wedding" occurring on May 30th, 1888.
l shall try to give brief account OF. it.
About 10 o'clock, the guests began
to arrive and in short time about 80
of their friends and relatives had ar
rived. The most of them bringing
with them some token of esteem, and
after enjoying an hour or two of pleas
ant conversation, dinner was an.
nounced and on going to the dining
room such q feast met our eyes that
We shall not soon forget. The tables
were loaded down with the substan-
tials of life, as well as with the most
tenn pting pastrys.
The preparation for this as well as
the zeal manifested by those at the
table, lead US to think that after %
years of married life, our esteemed
hostess, and her daughters, now grown
to womanhood, know we'll how to
prepare dinner to tempt even the
most fastidious appetite.
The following list of presents were
received: silver picket castor, Mr..
and Mrs. l.. b. Kihnie, set silver
tablespoons, Mr.. and Mrs. James Hos
ley, set teaspoons, Miss Josie Hosley,
l silver sugar-spoon and butter-knife,
Mr.. and Mrs. II. Olmstead, silver
butter.knife, Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Holeman, pair OF linen fowls,
Grandma Hosley, table cloth, Mr..
and Mrs. A. &. q. ShOckey, hand
worked tidy, Miss Jennie HOsley.
After dinner the guests were left to
entertain themselves as they wished,
some in social conversation, some in
boat riding and the most Of the gentle
men present took the opportunity to
take look at Mr.. HOsleys farm, land
(by the way, Mr.. HOsley Is one Of our
most successful farmers.)
When it came time to depart for
home, the guests all expressed them
selves as highly pleased and hoped that
Mr.. and Mrs. Hosley might live to
enjoy their golden wedding.

vEsr1su1R TRAINS TO CHICAGO.

The vestibule train Is q new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
Is claimed for these trains that on &C
count of their being connected by steel
hoods all danger Of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train being
practically one long car. It is certain
that the oscillation of the cars is great
ly reduced, and it is also certain that
the vestibule trains afford the greatest
comfort yet known to travellers. The
adoption of this style of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe & California Rail-
way between Kansas City and Chica-
60 is strong bid for the passenger
traffic between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead Of any of its older competitors,
and will undoubtedly be the popular
road to Chicago.

PLUMB ON THE ISSUE.

Senator Plumb has the reputation,
and he has earned it, of being one of
the most clear-sighted, level-headed
business men in the country, and it is
this reputation which lends weight to
the following letter, recently written
to the editor of the Phillipsburg
Herald:
SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. !
WAsHINGToN, May, %. 1883. !
r. A. Dague, Phillipsburg, Kan.
DEAR SIR:-I am very glad, indeed,
to note your commentator of the
speech which made on the currency
question. 1t has seemed very singular
to me that the people did not appear
tt. take any greater interest in this mat
ter than they have done. The present
administration has gone on in its work
of contracting the currency without
any apparent notice being taken of it.
and the democratic party which for.
merly made so much fuss about the
alleged contraction of the currency
by the republicans seems to be entirely
satisfied with what Mr.. Cleveland il
doing. The Senate, as you will re
member, passed a bill which would
prevent any further contraction of the
currency by providing additional cir
culation to take the place of national
bank notes retired. This bill has been
shelved in 1.-The house, and will no,
again be heard of. 1t was understood
that this was done at the special re
quest of the President. Meanwhile We
are told from the same august source
that the tariff is the source of all oul
wees, and the only thing which needs
looking after. The contraction of the
currency is responsible for more of the
financial trouble than the tariff evel
could be.
Yours truly,
p. B. PLUMB.

Advice To Mothers.

Mrs. WINsLOw's SOOTHING SYRUP
should always be used when children
are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the little
sufferer at once: it produces natural,
quiet sleep by relieving the child from
pain, and the little cherub awakes as
"bright as a button" 1t is very pleas
ant to taste. 1t soOths the child, soft
ems the gums, allays all pain, relieves
wind, regulates the bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrhea,
whether arising from teething or other
causes. Twenty-Five cents bottle.
