BROTHERHOOD
OF ST. ANDREW
Had a Dinner and Annual
Meeting Last Night in
St. Andrews Church

Nearly hundred men attended the dim
ner and annual meeting Of the Whining
ton Assembly Of the Brotherhood Of Saint
Andrew at ST.. Andrews Church last
night. and it proved an interesting oc-
cason. Wilkes Bowen retiring president
OF the assembly. presided over tho busi-
ness meeting and speeches were made by
the Rev. +. J. Ninsman. Bishop Of Del
aware. and the Rev. Hubert W. Wells.
rector OF St Andrews.
a feeling Of the utmost good fellowship
prevailed among those present. The deco
rations and the picturesque arrangement
OF the tables added greatly TO the attrac-
tivencss of the scene. The business meet
Ing was held while the members were
gathered about the banquet tables.
The committee in charge consisted Of
Norris Smith. Wilmer smith and Victor
d. Handy. a rising vote OF thanks was
extended to the committee and to the
women who assisted them.
The nominating committee appointed by
the chair reported as follows. For presl-
dent, Frederick Bringhurst vlce-presl-
Nf
A. Cook; treasurer. Victor D. Handy. On
motion, the secretary cast the ballot of
the Brotherhood for the persons nomi-
mated and they thus were elected.
Bishop I<insman in brief address said:
IT is pleasant TO bring all the chapters
Of the brotherhood together In the bond.
Of fellowship. MY own fve years' cxperi.
ence IN this work has taught mo that
1t is also OF great value.
AT the beginning. we tried to stlcl, to
definite rules; literally to keep one plan.
But there was constant change Of pur-
pose, and 50 much discouragement that
some thought Of giving up the whole
thing.
I'VE found it better way was to have
very definite spirit. Our motto was Try
and help the other fellow Bring him in
touch with the church. II you have the
brotherly instinct it is bound to show
itself In some useful way"
Reports were made by the different
brotherhoods, the relief committee and the
officers Of the organization.
There was a laughable incident when
John S. Grohe reported mo money re-
ceived no money spent and no money
asked for relief the past year. and he
was followed Immediately by Treasurer
Handy. who reported one dollar paid tc
Mr.. Groho for relief. IL was explained
amid laughter, that the dollar was given
TO Mr.. Grohe Of the relief committee dur.
ing a previous year and had been given
by Mr.. Grohe to somebody for relief pur-
poses.
The clcrgymen present included the
Revs. John Rigg Of New Castle. George
c. Hall: f. NJ kirkus, X. i. Hammond,
H. W. Wells. a. L. Clay and b. n. Bird
At the quarterly meeting preceding the
annual session Bishop Kinsman was elect
ed chaplain of the Brotherhood to nh the
vacancy caused by Bishop Coleman S

Advertising Pays
Speaking Of newspapers. let me- re-
mind you that there is not more in
terestin9 part Of a newspaper than
that devoted to the advertise nents Of
legitimate business enterprises. Some
men tell me that they read the business
news-the advertisements-befor they
read the other news. Everyone knows
that the ladies read the store news be .
fore they read ven the news Of society.
To be read, any kind Of news must be
interesting. Advertisements that arc
not read are improbable. When a
business man does not get good results
from his advertising he should not
blame the newspapers, but the man
who writes his advertisements. n a
merchant has a good article at a rea-
sonable price, the people will buy Il, IL
they know he has IL for sale. The best
way to tell them about Il is through the
columns Of a good newspaper. Good
advertising is an Investment, not an
expense"
do il for Dover" M. Maclean urged
as a good motto for Dovcr's organiza-
tion.

A noble manhood, nobly consecrated to man, never dies." The town delighted to honor him as its rep resentative to the Legislature in 1872, as town treasurer for several years and other offices. MT Pierce married Ma tilda Gates Chamberlain of Boston, Mass. about 30 years ago and few years later built the beautiful house which they have since occupied.
