Tribute To w. T. Wilson

Under alumni Notes" in the
commencement number of the
Alumni News" published quar-
terly by the alumni of Delaware
College, there appears the follow
ing tribute to our townsman:
"Wilbur T. Wilson, ex'74, is
one of several alumni who have
found it wise, profitable, and
pleasant to remain at home, in
Newark instead of going forth to
seek their fortunes in the world
at large. Perhaps Mr.. Wilson
could get on as we'll without New
ark, but Newark needs and al
ways has needed him. He has
practiced his profession of local
engineer and surveyor with the
honest and thorough care which
marks whatever he undertakes
and his maps, made in connec
tion with the extension Of posta
free delivery throughout Della
ware, attracted so much attention
by reason of the accuracy ant
beauty, that the Post Office De
partment at Washington offered
him a desirable place, an offe,
that he had the good sense to de
cline for the sake of living an,
working where he belongs, in hi
native community. Any man VIII
made such place of usefulness
for himself as Mr.. Wilson ha
long held at Newark and in tn
region round about deserves wei
of the state, and may withou
undue self-fattery call his lif
successful.

Dandy Dick"
To Be Postponed

The Agricultural Club of Della
ware College has found it neces-
sary to postpone the production
of Pinero's Dandy Dick" until
early in the autumn. Rather than
fail to do justice to this comedy,
which is probably the best one
ever attempted here, the cast pre-
fers to wait until they may have
more time for perfecting their in
depreciation Of it.
The last two months have been
extraordinarily busy ones for
everyone in the community. AL
tho the members of the cast and
their excellent coach, Mrs. tTy-
son, have worked faithfully, they
have found that a sufficient
amount of time has not been
available.
Money will be refunded to all
who have purchased tickets.

CHURCH NOTES.

The Presbyterian church was com fortably filled on Sunday morning to hear Dr. Williams sermon on the subject. Good For Nothing.' His text was taken from the sermon of our Lord on the Mount, "Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt hath lost it's savor, wherewith shall it be salty. It is from henceforth good for nothing," etc. He said that the Christians were the salt of the earth and that in this country Christianity was in the ascendency, and that only the fact that we are exceptionally poor children instead of what God made us to be, flinders the church talk ing the world for Christ. There was only one christian in Sodom and he was sorry one, but God would not allow the city to be destroyed until he and his were safely outside the walls.
 His sermon at night was on the Mistakes of Moses" Moses first mistake was in killing the Egyptian and hiding his body in the sand; his second was in trying to evade respon- sbility when he, the most brilliantly educated, the most highly endowed and the most signally favored man of his time, begged to be excused when God called upon him for service. The third rebellious act of which Moses was guilty was the smiting of the rock in anger instead of speaking to it as he had been told to do A small but very appreciative congregation heard the sermon
