 Despite tho fact that the Metro politant Peter. Tikhon's successor forbade any of his followers to at tend the conclave, fifteen delegates of the old orthodox church wort lpresent today

OLD ST. ANNE'S CHURCH AGAIN
SCENE OF REUNITED WORSHIP
EPISCOPALIANS GATHER AT THE
SHRINE NEAR MIDDLETOWN
Bishop Cook Speaks of the Old Edifice
and Tells of Christ As The Great
est Parsonage of All Times

VI All lAilCS
In 1705, the Society for Propaga-
tiOn Of the Gospel founded St. Anne's
Parish in a grove near Middletown.
For years, residents in the Middletown
vicinity wOrshipped there and Sunday,
more than 500 persons, more or less
connected by family ties with these
pioneers, spent a large portion Of the
day in this historic grove. Several
autos from Smyrna were there. 1t
was the 220th anniversary of the
church built in honor of Queen Anne
of England. The people came in au-
tOmObiles, unlike the early worship
pers, but in the church, the old fash
ioned family pews were used and af-
ter the services, the humdrum of the
modern day was forgotten as the men
and women strolled about reading the
half effaced inscriptions on the grave
stones, wondering at the immensity of
several oak trees and relating again
stories connected with the church and
its founders. Bishop Philip Cook
preached the sermon at the morning
services. He took no text, but eX-
amined the chief contributions Jesus
Christ has made to the thought and
belief of mankind, with as little ref
erence as possible to the New Testa-
ment. He declared emphatically that
the greatest miracle in history is that
such a parsonage as Jesus, who never
held any sort of a prominent position,
never amassed a fortune, never wrote
a book nor added to the written liter
ature of the world, never won a battle
nor led an army, should become the
best known and most enduring of all
names; that such a life should WELD
the most profound influence over the
] thought of the world and effect fund
amentally all subsequent generations.
! At the conclusion of the afternoon
services, after Rev. G. Warfeld Hobbs
of New York, had delivered the SER
mon, Bishop Cook delivered up a
prayer for rain and a successful har-
vest. The church was filled at that
time, the majority of those attending
being farmers. There was a reverent
silence after the prayer, followed by
sincere amens.' At both morning anC
evening services, Rev. Percy L. Don
aghey, rector of the church, assisted
Special music was sung by George
McHugh of Wilmington, assisted b!

THE CAULK-HART CASE ENDED
Action Brought in the Superior Court
is Finally Dismissed

The quo warrantO proceedings
started several months ago by Roy
den Caulk to Oust James A. Hart as
Levy Court Commissioner from the
Seventh district were brought to a
close late Friday afternoon by the
entering of a formal order dismissing
Caulk's application for leave to file
an information in the case, and also
dismissing the rule requiring Hart to
show cause why the information
should not be filed The order was
entered following a conference be-
tween Chief Justice Pennewill, John
Biggs, Sr., attorney for Hart, and
Robert H. Richards, attorney for
Caulk. The order is in line with the
opinion handed down early this term
of court, which held that Hart was
elected in 1922 for a full term of four
years. Caulk's contention was that
Hart was elected for two years only,
to fill the uneXpired term of Sher-
bourne A. Collins, deceased. Caulk
was declared elected from the Seventh
district at the general election last
fall, following an official canvass of
the vote cast. He started the pro
ceedingS to Oust Hart after the latter
refused to give up his seat to him.
Both Hart and Caulk are Democrats.

MARK JULY 8 RED LETTER DAY
Smyrna Preparing to Entertain Big
Crowd at Annual Convention State
Firemen.-COmpanies and Bands

The "naughty-mObile," as some
people term it, is a machine that gets
you to your destination in a hurry if
the going is good, but on rough dirt
roads it is a jolting and disagreeable
proposition. Therefore it is perfectly
natural if you are on JOY ride to
stick to good rods. These few prelim-
mary remarks apply with equal force
to any other drive we attempt, and
success depends on having respect
for the cause, and confidence in those
who are promoting it. Let's make
smooth going for our Fire Laddies on
every possible occasion, as they most
heartily deserve it. The Citizens Hose
Company of Smyrna is to be the host
to the State Firemens' Association on
July 8th and Smyrna will be the
mecca for thouands of visitors who
will motor here to witness the street
parade which starts at o'clock p. m.
Fire companies from all the principal
towns of the State will be in line
with several bands to furnish music,
and if our people show proper spirit
of cooperation, and attend. to the
decoration of their homes and busi-
ness places, it will be an affair that
will reflect credit on our town, as we'll
as on our gallant firemen. The State
Firemen's Association is paying
Smyrna a distinct compliment in
holding it's annual meeting in this
town, as there is always active COM
petition among the larger towns fol-
this honor. Let us do all in our power
to make the event a notable success
and put Smyrna in the forefront of
( Delaware towns for the cOrdiality OF
/ it's welcome and the sincerity of its
! hospitality. Our bankers, merchants
and trades people in general, in deal
ing with their Out-of-tOwn customers
should urge everybody to visit Smyr-
ma on July 8th, and witness the most
/ spectacular demonstration ever at
tempted in the towns history. A com
plete program of the days doing:
will appear in the next issue of this
paper. Mark July 9Th as a Red Let
ter Day on your calendar, and "WhacE
