Special Correspondence TO the Times
CHEswoLD, March 6:-The sixth
missionary anniversary of Cheswold
M. E. Sunday School, was observed
last Sunday evening and in every way
surpassed it's five predecessors. The
children and members of the School,
went to work the closing month of the
year in earnest to swell the fund and
reached the sum of $1O6, $31 above the
apportionment. In various ways the
pennies nickels, dimes, and even dol
lars were gathered in wonderful fash
ion. Superintendent Collins and Pas
tor Gardner are wearing broad smile
while doubters are awed at the results.
The dark corners of the earth will con-
tinue to secure the lights and Ches-
void will have q share in the work.
Mr.. G. r. Vaughn's class of young
men led the list with a contribution
of $31.42 This is known as the banner
class, formerly under the teaching of
Mrs. Lizzie 7. Smith, who was jealous
in the missionary work and their pres
ent teacher proves to be a good second
on the same line. DIR. Frank Gard
ner's class, also young men, follow
with $17.62, Miss Laura Barcus' class
of girls with $11.52, infant class with
$11.51 and seven other classes grading
less amounts, making the sum total
above mentioned. And with all fine
program was rendered for which much
of the credit is due few young ladies,
who for the interest felt in its success,
sacrificed feeling and appeared on the
stage alternately with "kids". The
program was led off by an organ vol
untary by Miss Grau Bolts, organist
