Rare Old AYmnal

Watertown-One OF the priceless
volumes in the library Of Mrs. M. w.
Gunnison is a hymnal which was in
use in England over one hundred
years ago. The book is stained with
age, but the print is still very red
able. The songs in the book are var
led, not having the sympathy and
fervor that is noticed in the sacred
music of today. The book could not
be used in service today because nea
ly all Of the songs are in some way
connected with historic events One
song gives praise for the destruction
Of the Spanish Armada, while another
tells of the hand Of God in delivering
the king and queen from the gunpow.

Today the resignation of the Rev.
James L. Smiley as assistant to the
Rector of St. Anne's Church becomes
effective. Mr.. Smiley resigned some
few months ago, his resignation to
take effect today.
Mr.. Smiley has been most faithful
and conscientious in the performance
of his duties here as assistant to the
Rector, and his leave taking is a
source of regret to the large congre-
cation of the parish. 1t is understood,
however, that until the Rector, Rev.
Joseph p. McComas, can make other
provision, Mr.. Smiley will rem ain
here as his assistant
Mr.. Smiley is deep student, a man
of thought and letters, scholar and
a gentleman in the highest accepta-
tion of the term. He is a good SER
monizer and broad minded Christian
gentleman. He has won during his
stay in Annapolis the esteem and
admiration of its best people who
honor and respect him for his true
worth and godliness.

GAVE CARD PARTY
Naval Officers Wife Celebrates Wedding
Anniversary On HaIlow E'En

Hallow Fen, upon its recurrence
each year has a special significance
for Commander Il. Z. Coontz, United
States Navy, commandant of mid
shipmen. and Mrs. Coontz, as it is
the anniversary of their wedding.
Last evening Commander and Mrs
Coontz celebrated the twentieth an
niversary of their wedding at their
residence, No. IA Sampson Row, Ma
val Academy, by entertaining a num-
Der of their Naval Academy friends
at q card party.
The house decorations were sugges-
tive of the occasion when ghosts
walk and goblins gambol with ghoul-
ish glee and also bore a touch of har-
vest time. Corn was stacked about
In various hooks and corners of the
attractive home, and festoons of the
golden grain and autumn leaves

Jack o'lanterns cleaned here and
there from the hangings and tables
and pumpkins grinned as though
they enjoyed the tapers within that
displayed their gruesome ugliness
without.
Mrs. Coontz was assisted by her
house guests. All the ladies were
handsomely gowned and the occasion
was very delightful one. Re-
freshments were served and the
bride of twenty years ago cut the
wedding cake, the gift of a personal
friend. Commander and Mrs. Coontz
received the congratulations Of many
friends.

this appointment a severe attacG of
typhoid fever kept him eleven weeks
IN the hospital, when, upon the ply
sician's advice, he returned 10 the
States. Since then Mr.. Smiley has
been successively in charge of Grace
Church, Vineyard Haven, Mass, as
sistant at st. Mary's, Baltimore, and
in charge of St. Adams, Alberton,
Md. In this last, he learned direct
ly the conditions of employees in cot
ton mills. While the Aberton mills
rank high in respect to treatment of
employees, child-labor and other de-
plorable features are much in evi-
dence.
1t was in the midst of such con-
ditions that Mr.. Smiley began writing
his book Maud Mullers Ministry. "
In July. 1906, he accepted the
Rev. Joseph 2. McComas invitation
TO become assistant at ST. Anne's,
Annapolis, where, as he declares.
he has spent four of the nappiest
years of his varied experience.
Now he has in contemplation more
effective work along the lines of
Christian Socialism. He believes
that our great social disturbances
are easily explained by the fact that
human society has become founded
upon selfshness; that the introduc-

waited the evils ten-fold, and that

the Holy Ministry now becoming
practicable, he resigned commercial
life to take up regular course of
study at the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity and received the A. B. degree
in 1891. Having won a scholarship

In 1899, when the war broke out in
the Philippines, Mr.. Smiley volun-
teered to be one of delegation sent
by the Brotherhood of ST. Andrew to
do chaplain's work in the Army.
With letter of recommendation from
the President to the Army and Navy
officers, this delegation of two
clergymen and two laymen was per-
mitted to go anywhere in the Islands.
Arriving in Manila in May, 1899,
they established headquarters in that
city, with chapel and reading rooms
for the soldiers.
AS the youngest member of the
party, Mr.. Smiley chose the work ot
visiting the camps on the fring.line
and thus ministered to quite a mum
Der of both regular and volunteer
regiments in all branches of the
service. He formed among these sol
diers several chapters of the Brother
mood of st. Andrew. After one yea

the City Assembly Rooms looked more
beautiful than last night at the Har-

Company No. 2.
The entire walls and ceiling were

The effect was picturesque and
pleasing. AS the Harvest Dance"
occurred on Hallow Fen pumpkins
serving as shades for tapers were
used to give touch to the eve of All
Saints, when goblins are supposed
to walk andiwitches to commune with
each other.
The electric lighting was very
effective. The insignia of the COM
pany Il. No. q" in red and white
electric lights greeted the dancers as
they entered the hall, and additional
lights were installed for the occa-
sion. There were twenty dances on
the program. Dancing began at 8
o'clock and continued until ! a. m.
Music was furnished by Professor
Schreyer's orchestra, and the dance
program was unique and appropri-
ate to tie occasion. On the diverse
cover was a sheaf of wheat with
golden rake and sickle and a distant
view of garnered grain. The dance
program were pretty souvenirs of a
very happy and successful occasion.
