CHEswoLD, DEL, April 5.-Rev. J. w.
Fogle preached at Cheswold Sunday morn
ing also at Bethel in the afternoon. Sunday
evening at CheswOld, was wholly occupied
bv the EpwOrth League with spirited
song service led by Mr.. Hermon Taylor
of Dover. Papers were read and impromp-
tn talks given upon conversion the topic for
the evening. Miss Esther Barnard was
leader.
L. S. Stockwell, formerly resident of
Cheswold and vicinity, died in Philadelphia
Sunday morning, and his remains We're
bought to CheswOld to-day for burial at
Bethel. He was 79 years of age.
The entertainment and bazaar by our Jr.,
League was held Wednesday evening in
stead of Tuesday evening of last week, be-
cause of the storm, and was quite success,
about S12 being the net proceeds. The little
misses who presided at the tables dOnned
their most bewitching smiles and gave the
affair much interest and made it one of great
animation.
SUCCESSFUL DOMOREsT CONTEsT--The
w. G. Z. U. Silver Medal Contest held
| Thursday evening of last week drew large
audience in which SMYRNA, Dover, Kenton,
Leipsic and all near by centres We're repre-
sented. The church was neatly but not
| elabOrately trimmed. God, Home and
Native Land" in large letters cOnspicuously
spanned the pulpit arch. Music with Mrs.
MOllie Hardcastle at the organ helped to
enlivened the exercises; II duett by Mrs. }.
H. Anderson and Mrs. A. Q. Disch was well
received A solo by one of our little, song
sters, Ethel Hardcastle was rendered in her
usual good voice. A trio by Mrs. Edward
A. Evans Mrs. W. F. Collins and Miss
Esther Barnard, Mrs. I. d. Garrison at
the organ was first class
The contestants acquitted themselves in a
a manner most pralseWOrthy. Misfortune
rather than fault it would seem in these
contests is a source of defeat such as Il de
fective voice which prevents that distinct
ness of words required by the rules The
contestants and their respective numbers
were as follows: No. /. Edgar Boggs; No. 2
| Miss Grace Moore: No g. Miss Maggie
Bishop; No. 4, Fred Thompson; No. 5, W
Denney Hoffecker; No. 6, Miss Mary H
Boggs. The conference held by the Judges
was quite lengthy who afterward spoke OF
their duties as being one hard to decide
but finally awarded the medals to No. B,
Miss Maggie Bishop for the girls, and to No
5, w. Denney HOffecker for the boys
Rev. j. W. FOgle who in presenting the
medals made very neat speech Among
the goods things, he in addressing the class
told them they had all done nOblv anC
each of them deserved a medal Prof Car
rol and Miss Kate Spencer of Dover, anC
Mrs. Frank A. Johns of Kenton, acted a,
judges.
