The announcement of the sudden
death of Bishop Coleman reached
Smyrna Saturday, a great shock to
members and friends of St. Peter S
Parish where he was known and
beloved by everybody. His death
following 50 closely upon his recent
visit to this vicinity made the
message all the more pronounced
for OH the Sunday previous to his
death, his last official visitation, he
was at Trinity Church Clayton, and
preached a sermon to a goodly
congregation. He was entertained
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. R.
Sipple and Sunday evening was to
have confirmed class at Trinity
Church but feeling indisponsed, he
asked to be excused and left on the
evening train Sunday for his
home "Bishopstead" Wilmington,
where he sought needed rest and
quiet from his arduous labors.
There was no immediate cause
for alarm and his death, therefore,
is keenly felt in Smyrna and Clay
ton as it is throughout the Diocese.
His many visits to Smyrna and
Clayton his kindly interest in St.
Peters and Trinity Parishes and
its members; his pleasant social
ways; his love for the little child
ren; makes his demise an irrepar-
able loss to the church and the
community. Bishop Coleman was
a man of God and a man of good
works. In his devotion to duty,
his indefatigable work for the
church to which he gave his
life, he was sympathetic
cOusellor and a wise teacher and
his exemplary life and good works
will ever be a benediction to those
who came within the circle of his
influence.

they cannot be worn with every other
color, and again, one Is quite apt TO grow
tired OF such garment, whereas, white,

one never tires OF their delicate beauty.
Another point In their favor Is their GEN
