The Wilmington High School bas-
ketball team will tackle the Norris
town quintet tomorrow afternoon in
the local gym. The game was for
merly scheduled to be played Feb
ruary 10, but due TO the scarlet
fever edict the game was postponed
until tomorrow.
The Norristown aggregation is re-
puted to have a fast bunch of toss
ers and will no doubt give the local
highlets a hard game. At one time
in the Wilmington High School ath-
letic history. the school from Penn
sylvania was one of the closest
rivals OF TIE Cherry and White in
sport.
The game Will mark the closing
OF the basketball season for the
home games. The last game calls
for the team to visit p. l. D., on its
floor in Mount Airy in its annual
game.
Although Captain Weiner and his
mates have not had a successful
season Coach Ashton has never lost
his faith and enthusiasm in his pro-
teges. The team hopes to close the
basketball term with winning the
last two games, and this will about
equalize its lost and won column.

DIR. v. R. BOWIE
LENTEN SPEAKER
Discusses ISaacs Motive in
Seeking Wells Sunk by
His Father
MONDAY MEETING
LARGELY ATTENDED

And Isaac digged again the wells
OF water which they had digged in
the days Of Abraham his father; for
the Philistines had stopped them
after the death of Abraham: he call
ed their names after the names by
which his father had called them"
This was the text of sermon de-
livered by the Rev. Walter Russell
Bowie. rector Of st. Paurs Episcopal
Church. Richmond Va, at the noon
day Ienten service In ST. Andrews
Episcopal Church today. The Rev.
Alban Richey. rector Of St. Johns
Episcopal Church had charge Of the
preliminary service.
Preaching from the above text, DR..
Bowie said in part;
"The motives which prompted
Isaac to seek his fathers wells in
stead Of trying to dig new ones, were
simple and as on moments rcfiec-
ton will suggest. In the first place,
the places where Abraham had sunk
his wells were places already proven.
It was no venture In the dark to seek
water there. Since water had been
drawn there before II could be
drawn again. In the third place.
there must have been a sentiment for
Isaac in drinking from the wells Of
his father. who is there OF us that
does not recognize the value Of
things. in themselves not inherently
better than something else OF their
same kind. but invested with that
glamour Of memory which lifts
them up and sets them apart.
There is in all life the instinct
TO go back and dig again the wells
OF our fathers. Sometimes we call
It conservatism. Sometimes we call
It reverence. II is not so much in
fashion today as It was. our time IS
a restless one. II does not want the
wells Of our fathers. IL wants TO go
scratch new reservoirs OF its own.
But we today may well remember
that the same motives which i'm
! PEELED Isaac will impell us, II we are
wise At our peril we cast aside the
ripe experience of many generations.
The newest things are not OF neces-
sity the truest. From the successes
I ana the ldllNIts OF luoht WHO nave
1 gone before we can learn inestima-
/ bly, much. II is because we inherit
generation by generation the best
that has gone before US have learn
ed. We take up the race not where
they began Il. but AT the end of the
relay where they passed on the
torch"
DR.. Bowie will be the speaker
lagain tomorrow The meetings arr
being we'll attended. not only b.
members OF St. Andrews Churcl
alone. but members OF othe
churches throughout the city. Tn
