PASTORAL GREETINGS
Appreciative Words For Rev. ].
W. Jones
WELCOME FOR REV. NORTHRUP

The bethesda Methodist Church has
lost working pastor and fine
preacher, and the whole community a
genial Christian gentleman, in the trans
fer of Rev. J. w. Jones to the McCabe
lemorial Church in Wilmington.
The regret, felt by all who had the
good fortune to get acquainted with
Mr.. Jones and his wife, is mitigated by
the thought that this change is for him
and her promotion to much larger
church with, of course, greater field
of usefulness calling for fuller employ
ment of his zeal and of talents as min
lister of the Gospel and hers as a true
helpmate. The McCabe Memorial
Church is to be felicitated upon its good
fortune.
Among other good qualities of his
that have elected the approval of the
people here, is the too rare one in
clergyman, of genuine modesty, and
an utter absence of that cocksureness
Of manner and speech so often found as
an alloy in what should be pure ecclesi-
sstical metal.
The Methodist Church, the ladies in
especial, will also miss the faithful SER
vices of Mrs. Jones whose kindly spirit
and gentle ways had greatly endeared
her to all.
The Scribe had the pleasure of hear
ing MIR. jones preach his first sermon
to his new charge in Wilmington last
Sunday-a glowing appeal to those
church members to leave the foggy low
lands of their common profession, and
ascend the glorious heights of Christian
perfection, up into the serener air
where Heavens divirer light perennial
y shines.
The Transcript wishes the reverend
gentleman and his wife and family all
success, health and happiness in their
new home.
But while The Transcript thus speeds
the parting clerical guest, it also W shes
to welcome the coming one-the Rev.
Van P. Northrup, who comes to the
Middletown church with the prestige
of a long and successful ministerial
career behind him. Mr.. Northrup is q
scholarly, agreeable gentleman who is
leaving large church in Wilmington,
and will no doubt most acceptably serve
his new parishioners of the Bethesda
Church. The Transcript cordially sa-."
lutes him and trusts he may also prove
blessing to his church and community.

SUNDAYS AFTER EASTER
There are five Sundays after Easter.
falling within the great forty days that
come between our Lords Resurrection
and His Ascension. Between His rising
from the tomb and ascending from
Mount Olivet to the skies, He passed
forty days, appearing at times to His
disciples, and giving them those instruc-
tions which should prepare them to
organize His Church, and go abroad
upon their missions to the world. The
first of these Sundays is called Low
Sunday because it was custom among
the ancients. upon the first Sunday
after Easter day, to repeat some parts
of the solemnity Of that great festival;
whence this Sunday took the name of
Low Sunday, being celebrated as a
feast, though of lower degree than
Easter day itself.
IN item from .he Rector's private
record book for Easter Day, reads:
Celebrated or administered the Holy
Communion five times (thrice in pri-
vate) preached three times, and made
four sick calls.
THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
The Third Liberty Loan makes its
demand on every member Of Christ
Church. The strength, the lives and
the victories of our boys and men de-
pend directly upon their munitions, bar
racks, hospitals, ships and supplies;
and these depend directly upon your
economies and sacrifices in subscribing
to the Liberty Loan. The campaign
opens April 9th and closes April 3Oth.
If you are desirous of subscribing to
this Third Loan-p!ease give your SUBJ
scriptions to the Boy Scouts who will
place your Loan with either bank you
desire. The Scout getting ten Bonds
from as many individuals is entitled to
| a War Emblem Medal from the u. S.
Government for his efforts. Help the
Scouts, help your Country win Liberty
| and Righteous for the World
P. L. D., Scoutmaster.
THE MITE BOX OFFERING
The children of the Sunday School
and the adults who took the Mite Boxes
presented an offering of thirty-fve dol.
lars and thirty. nine cents. This is very
good considering the many demands
that have been made and met the past
year for one object and another. There
are number of boxes out still and we
request that they be returned as soon
as possible.
