TO THE PUBLIC

My removal from Middletown was to
me unexpected. But Bishop Goodsell
laid the hand of Episcopal authority
upon me and | have been assigned to
new pastorate. The many expressions
OF confidence and esteem from those in
the church and out of it, has greatly
endeared me to the people OF Middle
town. My relations with other denomi-
nations have been most cordial, and no
pastor could ask for kinder treatment
than has been accorded me by all the
members and friends of the church.
have never served more pleasant charge,
and tender memories will ever cluster
around my Middletown pastorate. Ten
der ties are TO be severed and many dear
friends must be left, but | trust that the
Great Shepherd of the flock will overrule
it all to the furtherance of the kingdom.
have no language to express my thanks
to all the people for their kindness and
shall ever pray that God may protect
and bless them. My successor, Rev. A.
W. Lightbourne, Phi. D., is an able man
and l bespeak for him the same helpfull-
ness and co operation which | have re-
ceived. | wish for him the largest meas
ure of success. With gratitude for all

THE LEGISLATURE ABoL1sHEs P1LLoRY

Delaware took an advanced step on
Thursday afternoon when the House
passed Senator Smiths bill to abolish the
pilory as an institution of punishment
in the State-the only commonwealth in
which this relic Of punishment that has
descended from the colonial days of
witchery and superstition, is still in vogue.
But one dissenting voice, that of Repre-
sentative Prettyman, was raised against
the bill when it was put upon its final
passage. Horace G.. Knowles advocated
the abolition ofsthe pillory, and letter
from Chief Justice Charles B. Lore was
read, asserting the necessity of the whip
ping post, but decrying a continuance of
the futile punishment by pillory. All
that was required to reegate the pillories
in New Castle. Kent and Sussex Counties
to the kindling of wood piles was the
approval of Governor Lea who signed the
bill Monday. The judiciary of the state
favor the whipping post and it is hardly
probable it will be abolished.

Maiden on the BRIDGE,

A pretty young woman, not over 10,
came into town last week from Jer.
sey to spend week with some
friends. Shortly after her return
home her father received polite note
from the head of the house at which
she had been guest requesting a
check for 800, the amount the girl
had lost at bridge! Truly Bridge of
Signs! An old friend of mine, on
hearing this. remarked: 81 am not
father, but had | received such a
letter | would at once have consign-
ed it to its proper place and the place
it came from-the gutter. Gambling
will always exist, but to rope in a
poor, innocent girl who had never
stood on the bridge at mignight--or
any other hour, before-is the limit
or caps the climax. New York
