The ice cream social given by the
parents and teachers league was a
great success. The Red Cross jar was
opened and found to contain SLIT.
The jar was returned to it's place in
the postoffice. 1t is hoped that it will
be found to contain a still larger am
cunt when opened at the next monthly
meeting. A short program was given.
A number of young ladies sang patri-
otto songs. Mrs. Mcmahon gave a
reading. Mrs. Ware read an article
on Red Cross work, which was very
interesting. A neat sum vas realized
from the sale of ice cream, which will
be used for Red Cross work.
Sunday, June 9th, was Children's
Day at the First Baptist Church. A
very interesting program vas given,
the children taking their parts well.
Red Cross met Wednesday. Mrs.
E. M. Carr was elected LIST Vice-Presi-
dent in place of Mrs. McCloskey, who
will be in New York for sometime.

ASBURY NJ. E.. CHURCH.
Rev. E. F. Morris. Pastor.

Last Sunday was a glorious day
with us, the program being fully car
ried out as was printed in The Pleas
~antville Press.
The Children's Day exercise at
night was not only a credit to the
church, but a great compliment to the
superintendent and his staff of work
ers. They covered themselves with
glory. Our Church is learning how to
do things. The pastor and his good
officials have planned many good
things of interest and benefit. Among
them we mention:
A great sacrifcial financial drive to
finish our basement and remodel u
church, and meet some other pressing
demands. This drive is on for $500,
in which we are asking every member
and friend hat loves this old historic
church to do their very best to help
us. Everyone is asked to give at least
SIS. The first report is to be made on
June 23rd, the second report July 14th.
We know you love this church and
now we give you a chance to show it.
Tomorrow Sunday there is a great
treat in store for us. The pastor has
secured Rev. Jas. L. Washington, the
boy evangelist, of Little Rock, Arkan-
sas, who began preaching when he
was eight years old, and who is now
in his nineteenth year. He comes
highly recommended as a great evan
gelist. Don't fail to hear him.
Sunday School at 10 a.. m.
Preaching at II a. m.
The Epworth League will conduct a
stirring song service from 7.30 to $50
p. m.
Preaching at $50 p. m.
Good music all day by the choirs
and congregation. Comet and get
your spiritual strength renewed.
Next Thursday evening, the goth,
there will be a "box social" given by
the Ladies' Aid Society in the lecture
room OF the Cnurcn.
On Tuesday evening, June 25th, the
combined choirs of the New Asbury
M. E. Church of Atlantic City, will
give that matchless cantata entitled
"The Beautiful City" in our church,
for the benefit of the Epworth League
and Sunday School Convention. The
admission will be 15c for adults and
10c for children. This is a rare treat
for the folks of Pleasantville to see
and hear this wonderful play.
The annual Epworth League and
Sunday School Convention of the Phil
adelphia District, Delaware Confer
ence, will V at our church on
June Goth and June 9th, of which you
will hear more in next weeks issue
of this paper.

PATRIOTIC MEN GIVE
DAYS PAY TO RED CROSS,

Notable patriotism was shown by
several Pleasantville men, when they
volunteered to give a days pay each,
half of which was to be given to the
International Red Cross and the other
half to our local branch of the Red
Cross-which course to them seemed
the proper thing. In each case the
days pay amounted to nearly 81, the
full amount totaling s34.76, Mr.. Fen
nell and Mr.. Scull, of English Creek,
giving an entire days pay to the
Pleasantville Branch owing to being
transferred for the day. The names
of the men follow: Ellis Adams, AL
bert Larcomb, Calvin Burns, VIM.
Sapp, Chas. H. Vincent, Ben. Garrison,
John Fennell, Geo. T. Scull.

mic was held last Wednesday at Leil-

threatening weather prevailed it was
largely attended and was joined by
the Friendship Sunday School from
| Steelmanville.
All the sports afforded by the park
were greatly enjoyed by the two
| schools, also the trip to and from the
park by the large trucks that were
secured for conveying the schools on
the picnic. added to the full days fun.
Although the day was all that one
could wish for, yet the shadow could
be noticed, that is cast by the great
| world war through the absence of our
young men called to the colors, whose
presence was greatly enjoyed last
year. Our prayer is that they return
home soon with victory as their great
reward.

A letter was read from Mrs. McClos-
key telling of her work during the
Red Cross drive. Mrs. McCloskey, as
lieutenant of this district, secured
from lakewood and vicinity the sum
of $40. Checks received by mail
bringing the amount to the above CIV
en- figures. Mrs. McCloskey expresses
her appreciation of the kindness and
courtesy shown her during the cam
paign work, and lakewood is justly
proud of the record. A number of
members from Pleasantville Chapter
will be present next week and will
bring garments to be made. An invi-
tation is given to all. Come and help
us to help our boys over there. There
is work for all.

 The case of Palermo and Mac Laughlin may be described briefly. He has under his direction, in the city of Palermo alone, the Asilo Garibaldi, where 355 children from three to six years old, the sons and daughters of soldiers, are looked after fed clothed and taught; the Asilo Rusiero Settimo, where there are 475 children: a "creche" or nursery for 125 babies; a Workroom employing so women, all dependent members of soldiers families; a boys "recrotorio," where the American Red Cross helps feed 500 boys; seaside summer home for sickly children. now in process of organization; two warehouses that must be kept filled with food and materials from America, but where the stock must be kept in constant movement by shipments and distribu- tiOns canteen at the railway station.
 For this volume of work involving as it does mass of detail, Captain MacLaughlin has a staff of three himself, his wife and Miss Saxon, who went to Italy as a stenographer, but whose short hand work is now varied by the care of sick babies and the feeding of hungry soldiers.
 In this relief work Captain Mac 1aughlin and his aides have had the whole-hearted cooperation of many Sicilian men-withou it Red Cross work in Palermo would be consider ably handicapped. This fact might be converted into a general statement de- scriptive of the entire American Red Cross Work Tn Italy,
