welcoming q New Pastor.

ChAYMoNT, April 4.--One Of the most
cordial receptions ever rendered to minis
ter at Glaymont, was that which greeted
the Roy. George II. Wood the new pastor
of the NJ, Il Church. given in the Sunday
school room of the church last evening.
The reception was an entiresurprise to Mfr.
Wood who had only reached Claymont
for the first time at noon, to begin Ills pas
toral duties He reached the church at 8
o'clock, and was ushered into the presence
of happy company whose faces heamed
with smiles Of welcome. After the singing
he was introduced to the whole company
by Abner Vernon, after which he was in
troduced IN person to every one present by
II. n. baldwin. Speeches of welcome were
made by Messrs. Abner Vernon, Ambrose
y. uttry, William Hopes, Walter Bacon
and John Black. The addresses alternated
with a hymn, in which all heartily Joined.
Miss Blanche Il. Uttey presided at the
organ. The addresses were full of tender
words Of welcome, and that spirit Of cor
diality so,chararteristic OF the Claymunt
people. Mr.. Wood responded in pleasant
and eloquent address, and expressed his
feeling Of surprise and satisfaction at such
\ large company tho wclcomcaccordei
him, and hoped that God would bless the
new relationship to the good Of pastor and

MoULroN on THE TEMPEST.
Shakespeare's Tempest as Study il
Personal Providence.

Professor Moulton delivered the last Of
the present series of university extension
course lectures in the assembly hall Of the
high school Thursday afternoon. sSS2
Considering the fact of the extremely
disagreeable weather the attendance was
remarkably good. As is his custom the
professor commenced his discourse nunc-
tually.. But as seems usual with some of
the audience, belated visitors kept dropping
in during the first 10 minutes Of the lee
ture marring the pleasure of the listeners
and almost completely spelling the effect
Of most eloquent and valuable introduce
tory talk.
i seems difficult to indicate what is the
chief charm of Mr. Moulton's delightful
talks. Undoubtedly his wonderful ideali-
zauon of the cubiect, startingly novel and
attractive, carrying with it weight of
probability, substantiated as the narrative
goes by apt and compelling suggestions,
constitutes large share of the professors
success with his listeners.
Professor Moulton paraphrased the play
OF the Tempest idealizing "ProsperoN as
a personal providence. This was in the
poetic as contrasted with the theologian's
idea In the little island of an unknown
sea Prospero is a supreme personal
omnipotence. Ariel is identified with fire.
Caliban with earth. Referring to that part
of the plot where Antonio and Sebastian
the only tive upon the island not inilu-
enced by the sleep that overcame the
others, thought to Stay the king, the lee
turer said that to be unpublished is worse
than to be punished. That is the doctrine
Socrates was always trying to teach his
disciples. The ideal Judgment, as in the
case OF the two, men referred to was that
being suddenly prevented from con.
summarizing their task through the
weird Disseminating cry Of Ariel
which aroused the sleepers, the two
traitors were frustrated and although not
discovered their guilt remains intheir6wn
breasts, The fruit they looked to gather
is lost while their souls are stained.
II was with the greatest regret that the
audience listened to the announcement
that il was the last Of Prof Moulton's APP
pearanGes here this year. II was stated that
he may visit Wilmington next spring.
George Henderson, the general secretary
Of the university extension course stated
that the regular lecture and class course
will commence here next November. The
lectures already given were only prelimi-
nary and do not form any part Of the reg
uar course.
