SERIES OF SERMONS AT ASBURY.
Rev. Vaughan S. Collins, Pastor, Will Preach
on the Apostles Creed.

Rev. V. S. Collins began a series of
discourses on the "Apostle's Creed,"
or "What L believe and why Believe
It," before large audience at the NJ.
E. Church on Sunday morning. He
had his subject we'll in hand, with the
close attention of his audience.
In the early church, because of the
persecution, there was no written
creed, though each society doubtless
had a creed of its own, but at the coun-
Gil of Nicea in 325, before there was
any Latin Or Greek church, to say
nothing of the denominations of later
wears, the Fathers formed a Declar-
alton of Faith that has been known
ever since as the Nicean Greed. But
sence, though not in verbal form, the
Nicean or Arthanasian Creed. In
spirit it goes back to the time of the
Apostles themselves. If not inspired
it was next to it, for in the centuries
since it was promulgated there has no
been occasion to change word of it

he went to Wilmington.
Sammons had stolen two bottles OF
LIQUOR over the colored bar, one OF
which was taken from him, and when
ordered by Proprietor Blizzard to
leave the premises, he grew sulky and
refused to go. Later he came back and
called for Mr.. Blizzard and without
any warning drew out his razor and
began to slash right and left, cutting
the hotel proprietor three places on
his coat sleeve, one of which went
through and made cash five inches
long. Had it been a trihe deeper, his
physician says it would have severed

Not Expecting it to Cost as Much as

The Levy Court made no award at
their meeting yesterday for the i'm

bids, three in number, were opened,
but were too exorbitant, the lowest
being So, 400. The Levy Court had
expected the cost to come inside of

possibly they may get closer together.

ST. PETERS VESTRY CALLS
REV, BEACH TO SMYRNA
RECTOR OF ST. PAULS CHURCH, PITTS
BURG, Pa, INVITED TO THIS PARISH.
he Supplied St. Peters Church on Sunday
and so Impressed Vestry and ParishIOn-
ers That He Was Invited 10 Smyrna,

At meeting of the Vestry of St.
Peters Church at the residence of the
Senior Warden, Mr.. w. E. Waters, on
Monday morning, Rev. William b.
Beach of st. Paul's Church, ,Pittsburg,
Pa, was rendered a unanimous call to
become the rector of st. Peters
church, Smyrna, to succeed the Rev.
Henry Thomas, resigned. The call
was accompanied with the request that
the new rector enter upon his duties
the first Sunday in June. Rev. Beach
while showing his appreciation of the
unanimous call extended and express
ing desire to get back in Delaware,
could not give the Vestry definite
answer, but will announce his decision
later.
Rev. W. b. Beach supplied st. Pet
er's Sunday, and took charge of the
services both morning and evening.
He celebrated the Holy Communion
in the morning. He so pleased the
parishiOners in the manner in which
he delivered his sermons, and con-
Quoted the services, that expressions
of approval were heard on every hand.
The Vestry acted upon the popular
demand and met early the next morn
ing with the above result. There is {
sincere feeling on the part of the Yes

STEAM LAUNDRY DISCONTINUED.
Calvin BOggs, Proprietor, Has Decided to Sell
Out After Meeting With Hard Luck.

Calvan Boggs, proprietor of the
Smyrna Steam Laundry which was re-
Gently started, has met with such un
fortunate luck with his help, that
he has decided to give up future
efforts and sell out. This decision
was reached Sunday, when Mr.. Carley
his new forman from Williamsburg, Pa.
notified Mr.. Boggs he was going to
leave. This made the sixth man in
five weeks, to accept a position with
Mr.. Boggs and resign. Unfortunately
Mr.. Boggs had no practical experience
to start with, and he was solely depen-
dent upon his help. He has made
every effort to secure good men, and to
keep them here, and having met with
so many disappointments, he came to
the conclusion that the safest and most
economical way out of the situation,
was to abondon it.
There is a general regret among bus
mess men that this new home industry
connot be continued by Mr.. Boggs'
He is popular and we'll liked and there
