CHEswOLD, July 25.-The sect known
as the Seventh Day Adventists, held
an all day woods meeting last Sunday
in Edward A. Evans woods, one-half
mile south of Cheswold. A good num-
Der of mulattoes or Moors, sufficient to
build themselves a church, three miles
west of CheswOld, have espoused the
Jewish faith. They claim Saturday as
the ordained Sunday and there has
been much complaint from the locality
of their church, about their working
on the Sabbath, established and main
tanned by Christendom.
Team loads of wheat passing through
town indicate there is just now larger
quantity of this cereal being shipped
from this point than there has been for
long time. Many farmers sold at 20
cents per bushel before threshing.
A train with three huge tanks of oil
passed here one day last week, sprink-
ling the railroad track with oil, to keep
down the dust. Some of our people
thought then, if our streets were SINH
larly sprinkled it would not be a bad
idea
The festival held by our Junior
League last week was pleasant affair
to all the participants and netted them
about $50.
Many members of our Jr. O. U. A.
M. order attended service at Central
NJ. E. church, Kenton Circuit, last
Sunday, when Rev. Mr. Ellis, the pas
tor, preached directing his remarks to
the order. The members were much
pleased with the discourse.
Our church-gOing people heard last
Sunday morning with great pleasure,
a sermon by Rev. r. Watson Cooper, a
former boy in this community, who
has worked his way up to a professor
ship in Hamlin University, st. Paul,
MINI. He took as his text the injunc-
tion of Paul to the church at Corinth,
"Quit you like men," The gist of the
discourse was that man is the noblest
work of Gods creation and was given
dominion over all created things. He
emphasized the declaration that the
man who lives true to his Creator and
to his fellow man is the highest and
noblest of all created things. But as
the Apostle cOunsels additionally to
the Corinthian church under the un-
happy schism then existing: Watch,
be gorgeous, be strong, lest some be-
setment, some evil moment, it might
perhaps come through some sharp bus
mess competition, or in many WAYS,
cause men to fall from the high and ex-
alted position intended he should fill.
The discourse was broad in thoughts
and his audience throughout, most at
tentive and appreciative listeners.
