Rev. P. II. Rawlins, a former pastor
of Smyrna Circuit in 1880 and 1881, be-
fore there was church at Cheswold,
preached at Cheswold last Sunday
morning, a sermon which has been
spoken of as one with "a true gospel
ring" He took the words of Paul to
Timothy, 81 have kept the faith" aud
dwelt at some length upon the heroism,
loyalty and faith of Paul, Moses and
others in the olden time, through per-
secutions and great trials incident to
the events then transpiring, in which
they were triumphant and gave utter
ance to the words that have come ring
ing through the Christian church down
to us through the ages. Another fea-
ture of Rev. Rawlins discourse, also
was its optomistic sentimistic senti-
ments. He did not hold out the idea
as most pulpit speakers do in this day,
that all the heroism characteristic of
these saints of olden time, died with
them; but rather held out the belief
that there are followers of Christ in
this day who are as loyal and true to
their church and their country and in
equally trying circumstances as heroic
and triumphant in death as in any per-
iod of his church. Rev. and Mrs. Raw
Inns were greeted at the close of servi-
ces by many old friends.
Our f. l.. ID. G. club met last Thurs
