All Kind Of Thoughts

The Summer time has taken wings
And winter days are nigh.
And -four. beef and many things
Are now SO very high
Your basket holds your money
And your purse the stuff you buy,
Now that sounds kind of funny,
But the truth you can't deny.
It's often hard for those who work
And have big rents to pay,
TO even buy q pound of pork
To feed on thru the day.
And here's thought that came
somehow
Since ! have left of school.
That if I lived in ireland now
I'd surely want Home Rule.
And if it was denied by fatos,
guess I'd chew the rag,
And start for the United States
And live beneath it's flag.
Among my friends are lrishmen
Now here in freedoms land,
/ meet some fine ones now and then
Who always shake my hand.
And wish me everything that's COOL
And are so very kind.
often wish they really could
Have things to suit their mind.
The other day heard this nows
Which pleased me. I declare,
That many people want to choose

If you don't know who that man IS
And wish TO know the same,
He handles cash. ! know his phiz
And also know his name,
often meet the dear old youth
And love to see his smile
I'm one for him, that's honest truth
He's Just my very style.

q EVEN years ago the Rev. j. Edgar Massey rebuilt
~ the Second NJ p Church in this city That
distinguished result OF his pastorato here led 10 a
wealth of praise being layished upon him. Many
Wilmngtonians hold him in grateful remembrance
Mr. Massey now is pastor of Dagsboro NJ. p Church
in Sussex county. In that charge his work has re-
sembled somewhat that the pioneer preachers in the
West For instance he is building in Dagsboro at the
present time an attractive parsonage. When he de-
cIded that such structure should be erected, he
did not resort the conventional method for getting
lumber summoning the members of his church to him,
he told them his plans and invited them TO get their
axes and teams and accompany him to a neghborins

them to a sawmnl until enough lumber had been cut

That done the work of construction proceeded on
plans drawn by the practical-mnded preacher, who
constituted himself supervising architect Under him
were volunteer workmen. The barn and outbudings
at the rear of the parsonage have been built at very
little cost construction Of the parsonage itself has
advanced so far that it will be ready for occupancy
on December IS
No doubt Mr. Massey and the members of his congre-
CATION will think much more of the parsonage which
they have built themselves than they would have
thought of one built the usual system. We
