BISHOP COOKS VISIT
His Pleasing Manner Won For Him
Many Friends
REFRESHMENTS WERE SERVED

Despite the fact that Jupiter Pluvius
was plentifully bestowing his moist
blessing upon our burg and vicinage, a
goodly number of Episcopalians, men,
bers of dear Old st. Anne's, last
Monday evening. greeted their newly
elected Bishop, the Rev. Philip Cook,
D. D., in their church, and listened
with interest and profit to fine dis.
course by him from parts of the two
texts, 1.-THE night cometh when no
man can work." Jno. 9-v. 4, and 'The
night is far spent. the day is at hand. ;"
Rom. 1912. The speaker showed the
consistent meanings and applications Of
these two seemingly contradictory
verses of Scripture.
Both the subject matter of his brief
sermon and the pleasing manner of its
delivery, in clear, resonant voice
highly pleased the Bishops hearers.
He spoke standing in front of the altar
and not from the pulpit itself, which
fact was in agreeable keeping with the
absence of the ecclesiastical frills in
speech and manner so often found upon
like occasions. In fact, some of his
parishioners have approvingly remarked
his earnest, plain, matter-of-fact style.
One might with the most compliment
tary epithet describe his fashion of
speaking as confabulatory.
His smiling face and gracious manner
both when preaching and when meet
ing the members, won all hearts. and
makes certain the augury of future re-
lations Of the most pleasing and profit.
able character between himself in his
official station and his people every
where in his Diocese. His youth was a
surprise to some, and the Scribe feels
like quoting tioly Writ descriptive of
Saul, that he is "A choice young man
and goodly; and there was not among
the chill len of Israel q goodlier person
than he: from his shoulders and upward
he was taller than any OF his people.
DR.. Spahr has the distinction Of being
lust fraction of an inch taller than
the Bishop.
After the sermon, the Bishop and his
auditory adjourned to the Parish House
where toothsome refreshments of ice
cream, cake and coffee, were served.
The popular Rector, Rev. Percy L.
Donaghay, assisted in the services and
afterwards presented the members and
visitors from other denominations. to
the Bishop whose reception Of each
was smilingly urbane and cordial.

FARM BUREAU GROWING

"The Farm Bureau is now stronger
and is in better position to serve the
agricultural interests of the County
than at any time since its organization, "
said Frank Yearsley, President of the
New Castle County Farm Bureau when
discussing the coming annual meeting.
The annual meeting of the Farm Bu-
reau will be held at the Lambros Hotel
at Wilmington, Tuesday, November 30,
beginning at 80 o'clock.
Every state in the union, with the ex-
ception of six, of which Delaware is
one, is now a member of the American
Federation of Farm Bureaus. This
great organization has raised funds and
has appointed committees comprising
the best brains Of the country to inves-
tigate and recommend amends for the
following pertinent problems; the mar
keting of dairy products and the market
for canned goods. Already an effective
organization has been per. ected in sew
eral states governing the sale of live
stock from which the farmers are reap
ing results. The question whether
Delaware will become member of
this organization and receive the pres
tige and influence of national agrfcul-
tural association with a membership
reaching from coast to coast, in solving
her problems, will be one of the peril
nent subjects before this meeting.
The New Castle County Farm Bureau
in period of three years has evolved
from an organization of $50 individual
members to one Of 600 families or ap-
proximately 1900 members. The Farm
Bureau is built on the needs of the in
dividual farmers and Its purpose is to
serve the individual farmer through the
influence of its organization. The
Farm Bureau is an organization "of the
people, by the people and for the
people,"
