ST. PETERS CHURCH NOTES
The Rev. Thomas Getz Hill, Rector,
Announces Lenten Services

Announces Lenten Services
By baptism and through faith we
all become Christians-disciple of
cur Blessed Lord and members of The
Holy Catholic Church. Many of us
are also members of some branch of
the visible organization of the church
here on earth. In the regular course
OF instruction to which we have been
accustomed some of us have been
taught the duties and blessings of a
faithfully observed Lent, and some of
us have not. The result is that there
are a great many Christian people
who do not feel that Lent in any way
concerns them. But all know of Lent.
al hear of directly OF indirectly
through friends who observe it. All
feel its influence upon the social life
OF the community. Why not, then,
all gaining the blessings and benefit?
To larger and larger degree each
year all Christian bodies are holding
special services during the season of
Lent. And also more and more Chris
tlan people of all names are taking
advantage of the opportunity offered
by those Christians which more fully
anG more formally observe it. The
number of services additional for
Lent in st. Peters Church is not large
but an attempt is being made to
make them more intense. For the
next week week there will be an un-
usual opportunity offered. Thursday
p. M, Evensong and ad-,
dress; Friday, 7.30 a. M, Holy Com
7.30 p. m, Evensong with

Stowell of the, Office staff of the Prov
lnce of Washington. Saturday after

BISHOP THOMAS DECLINSE
OFFER TO HEAD OIOSESE
INTIMATES DELAWARE FIELD IS
TOO SMALL FOR BEST WORK
Decides 70 Remain in His Western
Field of Usefulness-His Decision
Received Here With Regret

Rt. Rev. Nathaniel S. Thomas. mis-
siOnary bishop of Wyoming, has de-
clined the bishopric of the Episcopal
Diocese of Delaware, to which he was
recently elected at a special Diocesan
convention. His letter of declination
to Rev. Fred NJ. Kirkus, rector of
Trinity Church, was read in many of
the churches of the Diocese Sunday
and there was profound regret among
laymen and clergy ever his inability
to see his way clear to accept. Epis-
cOpaleans in Smyrna were sorry to
learn of the bishops decision. While
only specifying that 81 am not con-
vinced that l should leave Wyoming
to go to Delaware" it was learned
from a layman high in the councils of
the denomination in the State that the
bishop regarded the diocese as being
entirely too small to justify his giving
up his work in the Western State.
The merging of the diOceses of Del
aware and the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, it was suggested, would have
furnished field of sufficient size 20
appeal to his capabilities and it is said
that before his departure after look
ing over the prospects last week that
Bishop Thomas intimated that such
was the case. For some time there
has been an undercurTent of senti-
ment looking towards this achieve
ment and its realization is regarded
as essential if a prelate of Bishop
Thomas attainments is 10 be secured
to head the diocese.
Delaware Diocese is Too Small
In personal letter to Rev. Kirkus
Bishop Thomas conveyed the impress
sion that the diocese was entirely 100
small, saying, al believe that no do
cese with only 20 clergy can properly
function under ordinary conditions.
Specialization and a diocesan con-
sciOusness which can develop its
eXtra-parochial needs sanely and nor
mally fail when a diocese is too
small" He frankly and openly ex-
pressed the view that for the best in
terests of the church on the MARYLAND
and Delaware Peninsula, he hopes to
see the day, and that shortly, when
the two dioceses will combine Should
that be done it would offer one of the
nest interesting units for an ideal
rural diocese to be found anywhere in
the church and would afford a sufi-
Gent scope to engage the energies of
q bishop bent on exercising all of his
powers for the best development of
the territory committed to him.
Choice of Another Bishop to be Made
Possibilities of another special con-
ventiOn to name another bishop were
discounted by leading Episcopaleans,
it being declared that the regular con-
ventiOn cOnvenes in May. Most of
those interested declined to venture a
guess as to who would be the proba-
bic choice as the sentiment at the last
session indicated difficulty in getting
together on any other candidate than
Bishop Thomas.

DELIGHTFUL SMYRNA DANCE
Leap Year Affair Given by the Young
Women of the Town Friday Night

The young ladies of Smyrna gave a
Leap Year dance Friday night in the
Century Club House. Among the
merry dancers We're few from Will
mington and many who go to Will
mingtOn each day for business, but
live in Smyrna and vicinity. About
fifty couples altogether tripped the
light fantastic until a late hour. A
"Paul Jones" helped to vary the pro-
gram and enliven the gliding, and the
musical setting added still another
spell to the dizzy sport. The commit
tee in charge was composed of Misses
Christine Kirby, Frances Nelson,
Blanhce Rollins and Olive Dukes. Re
freshments served during the inter-
mission revived the dropping for the
last half of the fun. Music was fur
nished by the Original Six orchestra
of Wilmington.

CHESWOLD MANS BIRTHDAY
JOhn Fl. Bishop, Now of Wilmington,
is rs But Has 18th Birthday

February 29th falling on Sunday
md this being the Leap Year date,
all those whose birthday fell on the
18th of February had an opportunity
to celebrate. Among those known in
this vicinity was John H. Bishop of
Wilmington, a native of near Ches-
void. Mr.. Bishop, who lives at 9O4
Delaware Avenue, celebrated his 18th
birthday anniversary Sunday, al
though he was 76 years old. Mr..
Bishop has passed 10 fOur-year per-
iOds, but the fact that the year 1900
was not leap year and February did
not contain 20 days, reduced the num-
Der of leap years by one, so that there
have been only 18 previous birthday
anniversaries. Mr.. Bishop is a native
OF Kent county. He was born and
reared on farm at Bishops Corner,
midway between Smyrna and Dover.
During the Civi War he was a mem
Der of F Company, 9th Delaware
Regiment. He personally managed
the farm until 1913, when he removed
TO Wilmington. He owns considerable
zeal estate in Dover, Cheswold and
Wilmington, and extensive farm land
west of Cheswold. Despite advanced
age, his health is robust. He exhibits
great interest in Republican politics,
but never held public office.

No Word from Street Contractor
The condition of Commerce street
and portions of Main street which
were paved with Tarvia last year by
Contractor F. w. Lovett of Newark
and which streets have appeared TO
have "gone bad' by reason of the
freeze and thaws of winter, was dis
cussed seriously by Council. Secre-
tary Porter, who on authority of
Council wrote a letter to Mr.. Lovett,
has not received a reply and it is not
known what he intends to do, but
those close to Mr.. L0vett believe that
lc will make the work good. Some
or Barrett & Com
pany, manufacturers of Tarvia, exam
ined the frozen streets on Wednesday,
it was reported, and declared the con-
d;tion of the newly laid Tarvia street
should occasion no alarm. All the
places where the stone and Tarvia
had separated can easily be repaired |
and by the time the last surface coat
ing of TaTvia is added the damage |
of the frost will never be noticed. |
The winter just passed has been very
severe on road construction every
where. AS soon as spring weather
opens, Council proposes to add the last
surface coating when the new Tarvia
streets will be smooth and fine.

STORING UP VITAL ENERGY
Without Process That Goes On During
the Hours of Slumber Life Could
Not Continue.

Following is from Practical Thera~
peutics by Henry Lindlahr, NJ. D.;
During steep the liberation of vital
energy IN the body continues as dur
ing the Wakeful hours of active work,
but none is expended. The body acts
as a storage battery. a reserve OF
vital energy is thus accumulated for
the work of the following day.
THE moment consciousness wakens
and mental activity begins the expend-
iture of vital force commences.
at is for these reasons that nothing
can take the place of sleep as "A re-
storer of vital energy No amount OF
food and drink, no t0nics or stimulantG
can make good for lost sleep"

granted that their utteranceS. or at
least those Of Nh Hays. gave a defin-
lite indication of the ,datform on
which the next RepunhcaL nominee
for the presidency would stand. AS
Stunning that this is true, the main
planks of that platform will deal with
labor and industrial relations and with
the radicals who seek to overthrow
the government. 4 fair summary Of
the propositions with which the party
may he expected to go before the peo-
pie this year is:
Fair representation for labor IN all
the councils of the nation.
Development OF closer relations be
tween capital and labor with justice
to both and also to the third side of
the triangle, the public,
Sympathetic help fdv business. not
antasonistic curtailment, as part of
the economic Tadiustment
Strong represSiye measures against
l. W. W.-ism and other forms of ex-
tremiSm which advocate overthrow Of
the present form of government.
Efficient and honest administration
No taxes which ain initiative Ade-
quate taxes, but none for exuava-
gance.
A plan for spreading payment Of the
war debt over a long period of years
No undue liberalization of indus
tries and activities. such as railroads;
strong federal regulation. but not gov
eminent ownership.
No federation of attempts to array
group against group, section against
section or sect against sect.
Back to TIE Constitution in times
of peace.
General Wood handled the reds
without gloves. as might have been ex-
pected His hearers vigorously ap-
plauded such epigrammatic sentences
as these:
THE big issue today is, first and

The verge of fulfilment ut the big

reservations and urged tina, the entire
Issue be referred to the people at the
coming presidential election.
Mr.. Bryan, addressing the huge
gathering OF leaders. challenged Mr.,
Wilson's treaty policy and his utter
Hnces gave assurance that he and his
followers will fight the matter to the
finish in the Democratic convention if
necessary. He condemned the action
of the Republican majority in the sen
ate while conceding its right TO die
tate the senate's course, and contin-
ued: "Our plan has been rejected and
we must face the situation as it is
We must either secure such cOmprO-
misses as may be possible or present
the issue to the country. The latter
course would mean delay of at least
fourteen months and then success only
in the case of our securing a two
thirds majority Of the senate" The
party, said Mr.. Bryan. cannot afford
to share with the Republicans respon-
sibility for further delay, and cannot
go before the country on the issue that
such an appeal would present. He
even went so far as to repudiate arti-
Gle X and to uphold the Lodge reser-
walton on that article, Saying: eff we
do not intend to impair the right of
congress to decide the question of
peace or war when the time 70. action
arises. how can we insist upon a
moral obligation to go to war which
can have no force or value except as
it does impair the independence of
