BISHOPS GIFT
TO ST. JOHNS

AS a memorial to his wife. Bishop
Coleman has presented a handsome
rood screen to St Johns Episcopal
Church. 1t appeared in the church
chancel yesterday for the first time.
The screen is of quartered oak, beau
tifully carved and surmounting the
decoration in the middle is a cross.
The rood screen is an ancient adorn-
ment of chancels deriving it's name
from the cross which surmounts it,
In ancient times these screens were
made with stairway leading up to the
cross large enough to permit the priest
to ascend to the cross. where he some-
times conducted certain services.
The designers of the screen were
Robson l.. Perot and Charles NJ. Burns,
of Philadelphia and the carving was
done by G. Gerald Evans, of the same
city.
In a few weeks Judge Edward G.
Bradford will present a new pulpit to
the church in memory of his deceased
wife. This gift, together with the new
rood screen will give st. Johns one
.of the handsomest pulpits in the coun-
try.

Report That WOrkhOuSe
Warden Held Up Bills

Commenting today on the publication
that former Chief Warden Meserve, Of
the New Castle County Workhouse had
allowed bills aggregating $500 to ac-
cumulate against the institution with
the knowledge Of the trustees, Joseph
l.. Carpenter, one of the trustees. said
the story was correct so far as it re-
ferred TO Mr.. Meserve. "The reflection
on Mr.. Ball. however. is uncalled for
and unfair" said Mr.. Carpenter 1T is
true the trustees owe outstanding bills
aggregating $500 that we thought
were paid and are just that much be-
hind. OF course the money will be paid
What Mr. Meserve's object was in not
presenting the bills / do not know. un-
less it was to make the trustees appear
he was managing the institution less
economically than he had ever done
before. We were grossly deceived, but
are wiser today because of our exper-
ience."
In addition 70 these unpaid bills. the
trustees will be called upon to pay
Mr.. Meserve $500 bonus money paid
the prisoners at the workhouse, which
Mr.. Meserve says he paid the men
out OF his own pocket. Mr.. Carpenter

Mr. Meserve would be investigated
thoroughly before being paid. The

URGES MEN TO
ATTEND CHURCH

After weeks field duty with the Or
ganized Militia of Delaware, the Rev.
r. X. Stephenson, chaplain of the
regiment, preached in Scott Church
yesterday. His evening sermon was on
the subject 'Why Men Should Attend
Church" DR.. Stephenson said men
need the church. Their contact with
the world of business life leads them
to do things which they know are not
right and the frequent attendance at
church acts as a check upon them and
a correction Of their lives.
The speaker said the church needs
men. God has given them to do what
has been done. Men are to be used to
save men. Men should attend church
as an example and influence over
others. DIR. Stephenson said it should
be a recreation and a change from their
every day life. He said there was never
a time when the welcome Of men to the
church was so emphasized and the sal
vation of men was more needed than
at present. He said men should seek
their fellow men and urged them to
come to church.
