Old Union NJ. {. Church. Townsend
Dating back to 176O and believed
to be older than the famous Barretts
Chapel at Frederick. old Union Meth
odist Church at Townsend. which was
deserted nearly five years ago. is now
lying uncared for and with no public
services held there. The church was
built in the days Of Bishop Scott and
was located in what was then one of
the greatest Methodist centers of
Delaware as we'll as one Of the oldest
sections on the peninsula. Archives
of the church tend TO show that il
was erected in 1850 which would
make it just four years older than
Barrett's Chapel, which has often
been called 1.-The Cradle Of Metho-
dism in America, and where Bishop
Coke often spoke. Notwithstanding
the fact that public services were dis
continued in the old church about FIVE
years ago, about forty Of the older
inhabitants still continue ther mem
bership there, many of them well
advanced in years. the oldest member
being Mrs. Abigail Frances. 81 years
old but still hale and hearty. She
was converted in the old church in
1912, while a neighbor, Mrs. Cathe-
rine Hutchinson, 81 years old, was
converted at the age of 13 years and
has beer a member for over sevent y
years. The old site of Townsend has
drifted away from the site Of the old
church and since then a new MethO-
dist Church has been erected about
two miles away being built in 1895

TO PERFECT THE PARCEL POST.

The parcel posts success is sweeping. The first
ten days of the service by the Government have
left absolute proof of the boon it is to the people
and have demonstrated that what has been accom-
plished has come easily and swiftly that the public
will not be content until the service has been
tended to much wider field and needless and ham,
pering regulations have ben removed.
II is demand that has not been fully met owing
partly to the carelessness of the and partly to
the curious techncalities which have been slipped
into the law that are of little practical use to the
postal service, but put unnecessary obstacles in the
way of much wider success.
The demand fora special stamp is as great an
inconvenience as could have been devised
Ii burdens the public, leads to delay in operation
and checks the free working of the post 1t might
we'll be abolished without delay. The requirement
that parcels must be deposited at the postofice or
substaton instead of in boxes open for the deposit
of packages of printed matter adds further to the
delay The schedule of rates needs revision to make
i. uniform and to adapt the parcel post to fit ade-
guately the present postal schedules.
The proposal of Anderson of Minnesota pro-
viding that in no case shall parcel post rates be
higher than the old rate fourthclass matter is an
excellent suggestion. The provision which bars books
while admitting eggs or carpet tacks to parcel post
delivery is unreasonable. These all are matters
capable of remedy. The representatives of the
people in Congress will find that they can help the
people no definitely than in doing their best to
see this most useful agency fully adjusted to the
needs it should fill.
