 Late Sunday evening a man, with his wife and baby, in an automobile, the lights of which had burned out, who had lost their way trying to make Springfield from Hanover, re- tracing the road passed over Sunday morning, called at the parsonage and were taken in for the night by Rev. and Mrs. Darrow. They reported very heavy showers to the south, roads badly washed and swollen streams. Monday morning, rested and refreshed, they went gratefully on their way in the fresh air and bright sunshine.
 Sunday afternoon it was an un- mixed pleasure to have Rev. and Mrs. Darrow at the church service that was peculiarly beautiful. MT. Dar- row's excellent sermon from John '2:4, topic Obedience to Ohrist's commands, '' and the Congregational singing led by the Misses Ellis, violin with organ accompaniment, and an exquisite devotional hymn without words following the opening prayer, that was an inspiration to all. These talented ladies are musical artists who graciously give of their best to all, and MT. -Darrow, in speaking of the concert they are to give at Memorial church, South Wilmington, on Tuesday evening of next week, the 18th. made it impressive that this was rare op- that all should avail them selves of.
