Both church records. he declared,

Christiana records gave no statistical
report of the churchs years work
Presbytery. by rising vote, approved
the minutes on recommendation of the
committee, and the moderator and
stated clerk signed that entry the
same as though they had been the
local moderator and clerk.
The Rev. Alexander Allison was
harder still on Chesapeake City

stated and Presbytery arose and ap-
proved, the moderator again signing.
Another church, Mr.. Allison
charged, had no resolution of author
ity from its Session calling a congre-
gational meeting, yet the meeting was
held and the record further showed no
opening or closing with prayer.
Something was said in the rear
about red tape. and a voice called out:
"If that congregational meeting was
merger from the prayer meeting,
they had plenty of prayer to open it,
hadn't they"
Let Us go by the book said Mr.
Allison.
Mr.. Allison reported no students for
public examination by this session,
but made a motion for an adjourned
meeting to be held in West Church,
Wilmington. on May 9. 10 or II, to
then examine for admission to the

DOVER, Del, April 1.-THE New
Castle Prssbytery spent this morning
in the discussion of deserted church
es. There are four in this presby-
terry. Reorganization of the home
mission work also was discussed.
The young ministers joined heartily
in this discussion.
The pastoral relations of the Revs.
j. Z. Franklin, Smyrna; j. B. Hender-
son Georgetown, and Alexander ALI
con, of West Wilmington, were dis
solved. The demonstration of appre-
citation and series of speeches ran into
an ovation for Mr.. Allison and we're
said to be the most remarkable ever
heard in Presbytery.
Presbytery had several vigorous de-
bates on important church routine
yesterday afternoon, coming in under
the reports of committees.
The Rev. w. ]. Mccullough present

church work The Rev. A. T. NJ. Beale

nine, requiring sessional supervision

organizations Something was said
about a tendency to boss rule
This rule reads

The Rev. A. n Keigwin once eau
toned Presbytery about getting away
or running in contact with the con-
stitution of the Presbyterian Church,
but the motion to strike out rule eight,
quoted above. was finally carried Rule
nine, which bears on another matter
and will not conflict with the recon

In the Reference Department It
has been found impossible to keep
an accurate record of the number Of
visitors. or the number of questions
asked From the first of September,
however. the Reference Department
has kept fairly complete record Of
important questions. This was done
with the i6ea of finding cut what
kinds of questions were asked. and
also Of how we'll the Reference De-
partment was meeting the demands of
readers So far as the kind of ques-
tions is concerned. We soon discov-
cred the widest range of subjects.
We also discovered that the Refer
ence department was being used by
some Of the business men and some
of the largest manufacturing firms in
the city.
so far us tho efficiency of the Ref
erence Department is concerned We
have discovered that on an average
less than one question a day cannot
be answered. In some of these cases
it can be pretty conclusively proved
TO the inquirer that the answer Is
not obtainable anywhere. In other
cases the failure is due 10 the fact
that We have not the proper book or
books in the library The number OF
cases in which the Reference Depart
ment fails 70 utilize material already
in the library is very small.

sure 1t was an afr of freedom and
good will that could not help but
put the stranger in the right spirit
at once. Decorations had been made
lavishly. Every place of business
showed the spirit of the people and
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs saw
at every turn evidences of the
spirit of the day. 1t was indeed an
exposition of neighiborliness such

a wonderful lane lined with sweet
cherry trees and on each hand or

two or three year old-theB off
into another even more wondel full
lane To speak of them as roads
seems almost a sacrilege. One par
ty was carried in the big, fast auto
of Mr.. c. p Hartley, the nursery
man. The first orchard, a splendid
SO-acre tract, we found belonged
to Mr.. Hartley: Some ways on, at
tention was called to some fine
nursery stock which upon inquiry
was found to belong to Mr.. Hartley
stretch of nursery stock
seemed to belong to Mr.. Hartley.
By this time the silence was grow
ing rather tense and after several
miles passed broken only by the
smooth flow of description from tbs
lips of the drixer, someone sum-
moned up courage to ask who was
the owner of another pretty tract o
orchard which we were approaching. ,
This was also Mr.. Hartleys and we
gave up in despair. Either Mr..
owns a whole lot of mighty
fine nursery stock and some even
more fine orchards, orwell,
ne said he did own them, anyway.
Emmett surely has good reason to
feel pround of her entertainment.
