Church Itself Was Robbed Two
Years Ago and a Sofa and
Carpet Taken.

The residents of Brandywine hundred
are aroused over the fact that vandals
have visited the Bethel Nj. IL. Church

flowers. Several days ago members Of
the church discovered that from twenty
to twenty-five flower stalks had been re-
moved from graves in the cemetery.
They included rose bushes. geranium
stalks and other kinds Of plants.
The church officers have offered re-
ward of S25 for information leading to
the arrest of the guilty parties. Mem
bers of the church say they are willing
to add 10 the reward. Every year about
this time when thes graves have been
gotten in order for Memorial Day van

A woman. who had buried little girl
placed on its grave two small glasses
which it had liked to drink out of. They
were placed there TO hold flowers. She
was much affected when she found they
had been stolen.
About two years ago thieves entered
the church itself and carried off sofa
from the pulpit platform, two aisles OF
