DIR. Frank L. Ryder and wife of Wa

A woman is as old as she looks, while
a man Is as old as he feels. But Mrs.

Charles T. Preston and wife went to
New Haven this morning. His old regi
ment has reunion in the Admiral Foote,
G. A. R., hall in that city, followed by a

Rev. Charles l.. Shows topic Sunday
forenoon was "Obedience," prompt, will
ing and believing. No reference was
made to the subject of Christian baptism,
although some dozen candidates for the
rite next Sunday were present. They, as
well as the audience, could draw their
own differences.
The Baptist ladies' social Tuesday
evening was we'll attended. The dia-
logue, "Why no one looked at the BRIDE"
written by Mrs. Preston, the recitations
by Pastor Snow, who Is finished elocu-
ZIONIST, and the singing were very inter-
esting features of the occasion. 1t was
ice cream weather, and no one could
complain either of the quality or the
quantity of that material--nor of the
price, 10 cents for the evening and ice
cream and cake galore, included.
Rev. DR.. Davies-not "Storrs"-preach-
ed Sunday from Prov. 4:23. "Keep thy
heart with all diligence, for out of 1t are
the issues of life." He emphatically as
serted that there were two roads young
people travelled in, one leading to peace
and happiness, the other to destruction.
One would gather from the trend of the
sermon that the speaker thought young
folks could much better spend their time
than engaging in card playing, dancing
and in reading trashy novels.
| AS mentioned last week, the ordinance
of baptism will be administered at South
Wilmington by the new Baptist pastor,
Rev. Charles L. Snow, Sunday next, to
some fifteen or twenty candidates. 1t is
seldom that newly ordained pastor Is
so soon called to administer the rite to so
many postulants in his first passionate.
The services on the banks of the lakelet
at o'clock p. m. will doubtless be very
Interestingly short address by the ad-
ministrator, appropriate music, etc.

Van Zandt who used to visit his children
