LARGE SUM PAID
ON SEWER
Council Takes Action On
Minor Matters

At an adjourned meeting Of
Town Council held last Wednes-
day, an ordinance making it COM
puIsory for all stables within the
town limits to be cleaned out and
manure removed at least once every
ten days during the months Of May,
June, July, August and Septem-
Der, was given first and second
reading. This is in keeping with
the movement, under the direction
OF the Civics Committee Of the New
Century Club Of Newark, to do
away with breeding places for flies,
as much as possible, during the sum-
mer months.
The street committee was auth
orlzed to enter into an agreement
with the Diamond State Telephone
Co., and the Western Union Tele-
graph Co., to use one line of poles
on Main street, above the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. This action will
make it possible to remove a num-
ber of poles along this street. An
ordinance giving the telephone
company the privilege to string
wires and erect poles, was given a
first and second reading.
Council has entered into an
agreement with L. B. Jacobs for
recaulking the water main at 5000
a joint. 1t was decided not to re-
pair Chapel street until Main
street is finished.
announcement was made that
$33, 900 Of the $54, 900 due has been
paid on sewer assessment. Many
persons, however, have taken ad-
vantage Of the five annual INSTALL
Iment plan.

To correct the impenitent; raise
up the fallen; restore the backslid-
ing; strengthen the weak; give
more grace and zeal to the faithful.
A question box will be instituted
for week day meetings and the
preacher will be pleased to answer
any question pertaining to the
church or theology. There will be
special music and morning preach
ing and all are cordially invited to
these meetings.
Mr.. De Vona does not use the
sensational methods of Billy Sun
day but he gets to the souls of his
hearers, nevertheless.

the old Pencader Presbyterian
church last Sunday, the occasion Of
the presentation Of an individual
communion service to the historic
church, by descendants Of James
Frazer and Sarah Barr Frazer who
during their life time were active
members. All their children re-
ceived religious inspiration for
years, as members Of the congrega-
iton, three sons, at different times,
serving as elders in the church.
Pencader is known as one Of the
Oldest churches in Delaware. The
2OOth anniversary was celebrated
September Is, 1910, but an inves-
tigation leads one to believe that if
a change were to be made for the
sake of accuracy, the time would
run back to an earlier date. The
first structure was built on land
that was part Of a grant Of 10000
acres made by William Penn, Oct
ober 8, 1701, to David Evans, Will
lam Davies and William Willis, all
three Of whom were from Radnor,
Pa. 1t is supposed that the church
was first known as "Welsh Tract" !"
being situated within the bounds of
that famous grant. 1t is known
that the service was in the Welsh
tongue for many years. Many in
teresting stories are told of GUS
toms that prevailed in the old
church. The original two-story
frame building had a steep pitched
shingle roof, with two dormer
windows in front. Buildings and
furnishings were typical Of the
place Of worship of 200 years ago.
The floor was of brick and no pro-
vision was made for heating, even
in the bitterest weather. Some of
the pew-holders desired to bring
little stoves into the pews, but the
custom was heartily opposed by
majority of the worshippers. Wood,
en- planks to keep the feet off of
the bricks, however, were consider
ed permissible. The present build
ing was erected in 1852, at on orig
inal cost of $4,000.
Over sixty representatives Of the
Frazer family, coming from Balti-
more, Elkton, Wilmington, and
Newark, attended the impressive
exercises held on last Sunday. The
service, with the exception Of spec
ial music, was conducted according
to the plain and simple custom that
has prevailed in Presbyterian
churches for the last century. Old
hymns of the church were sung as
duet and solos by Mrs. Brooks and
Mr.. Harry Davis Of Glasgow, Mr..
Charles Blake, Elkton, and Mrs. J.
P. Cam, Newark. Rev. George L.
Smith, pastor Of the church, Off
ciated and delivered a strong SER
mon from the text found in | John
third chapter, and third verse:
=" And every man that hath this
life in him purifieth himself, even
as he is pure. ;"
Following the sermon Mr.. James
H. Frazer, Of Baltimore, presented
on behalf of the Frazer family, the

SPECIAL SERVICES
AT OLD PENCADER
GIFT PRESENTED BY FAMILY LONG PROMINENT IN THE
CHURCH

beautiful individual communion
service. His remarks in substance
follow: "Here where in other DAYS
so large number of our family
sacredly partook Of it's sacraments,
at the suggestion of elder John H.
Frazer, representative Of the Fraz-
er family have assembled to pre-
sent to the Pencader church mem
orlal OF our ancestors. How closely
and tenderly the ties of memory
bind our hearts and affections to
this place! Our fathers and moth
ers worshipped here; here they
gave their children to baptism; here
in later years the children ratified
those VOWS. Here they in quiet,
continued to worship the God Of
their fathers. Here many of those
children, in the province of God,
went out to establish homes; from
here those blessed fathers quietly
passed out from the church mill
tant to join the triumphant Church
of God. Though the springtime
lsun is shining sweetly on the grass
| that covers their dust, their renew
ed and ransomed spirits, shorn of
the shackles Of limit and space, are
with us in this celebration; with us
in this service Of praise. The DON
ors OF this service-the descendants
Of James Frazer and Sarah Barr
present it to the glory of God as a
memorial Of our ancestors and as a
manifestation Of our interest in the
members of this church. As you
participate in this service, fulfilling
His command, "This do in remem-
brance of Me, " may the very chin
era of His presence fill the place.
Now to the glory Of God, and in
loving memory Of our family who
have worshipped here, we do most
lovingly present to you this COM
munion SERVICE
A formal acceptance and letter
of thanks, read by the pastor, and
approved by rising vote of the
congregation, was given in turn to
Mr.. James H. Frazer as the spokes-
man of the Frazer family. Those
who made the gift were: DR.. James
II. Frazer, Samuel Frazer, Of Earl
vile, Md; John H. Frazer, of Glas-
gov; Robert B. Frazer, Mis- Sarah
jackson, Mrs. P. H. Cleaver, Mrs.
William S. Evans and Charles
Blake of Elkton; Eben B. Frazer,
j. Stanley Frazer and Ernest
Frazer, Of Newark; Mrs. Richard
Y. Cam, of Kirkwood; Thomas
Frazer, Harry w. Frazer, Mrs.
Lizzie Spear and d. B. Ferris of
Wilmington.
Following these exercises COM
munion was administered to the
congregation, four members Of the
Frazer family, elders in Presby-
terian church as follows, officiating:
Messrs. e. B. Frazer, Newark;
William Sterling Evans, Elkton;
John H. Frazer, Pencader; and
James II. Frazer, Brown Memorial
Baltimore. Many people from the
neighboring country attended the
services.
