Wednesday, when A. r. Spaid,

SPEAKS HERE
Large Audience Appreciates
Lecture

A large audience greeted Honor
able L. Irving Handy last Sunday
evening, when he delivered in the
Presbyterian Church his new lee
ture. The Tragedy at Jerusalem.
Il come not as an orator." Mr..
Handy replied to his introduction
"but as layman with Bible story
to tell" And the speaker related
in a fashion, beautiful in its sim
plicitv. the story of Calvary. In
words simple enough to be under
stood and appreciated by any
child. at the same time vivid and
graphic beyond description Mr.,
Handy unfolded the wonderful
story as it is related in the Cos
pels. Rarely did he interpose a
personal opinion or comment, nuV
rather by wonderful simplicity
and an utter absence OF oratory,
that was indeed impressive ne palo
homage to the great theme ne dls'
cussed.

DOLLARS
Mile of Dimes Method Used
For Red Cross

As a result of the five day cam
paign for Red Cross funds carried
on by the school children last
week. S412.1O has been forwarded
to Wilmington. That the little
folk took the duty assigned to them
seriously and worked in fashion
as earnest as their elders even the
worst slleptical must admit, when
the results are contemplated. The
collections were made in the form
of dimes which were inserted in
cards, the school children having
