In looking over your accounts fol
he past year did you find an error
hoWlng that you had not paid as
much as you should for the support
f the church. If you did find a mis-
axe of this kind will you remedy it
by adding the amount to your con-
ribution for this year, thus making
he total OF your giving to be equal
o one-tenth OF your income. Perhaps
EOu are one of those misers who re-
use to give anything for the sup
bort of the gospel and trying to lind
B way to get into heaven at some
bther persons expense. If you are
bne of this kind, you will find cut
how serious your mistake is when
you arrive on the other side. Per-
haps you are one of those who give
as an excuse for not paying into
The treasury of the Lord, is that
you have had bad luck, as you call it
perhaps you have lost a horse,
eow, or other animal, or fire has
damaged your property. Crops have
not yielded as they should, and all
Dther ills which come to us, we SIM
ply charge them all to the Lord,
Without giving Him credit for the
thousand and one blessings which
I'VE are receiving daily at His hands.
SOmetimes He visits our homes and
lakes from us some of our loved
bnes. This is intended to be warn
ng to us to be more faithful in our
christian duties in every way. Then
cumming up the whole case, we
wonder if all these troubles and
trials which come to us are not Sim
bly, God collecting His back pay,
which we have been holding from
Him. Let us all be fair with Christ
and give to Him His full share of
bur wealth.
On Sunday morning, May oath,
when Mrs. Kate Beideman, aged 67
years, wife of WillOughby Beideman,
prominent farmer near here, !
passed from earth to heaven, this
lost one of those beau
tiful characters which it can ill-af-
ford to lose. Mrs. Beideman was one |
Of those large hearted, generous wO-
men who wanted to be busy help
ing others. She was the good samar-
tan of the neighbOrhOod in which
she lived; in the homes of the well
to do or the poorest of the poor, this
grand woman could be found when
needed, attending the sick, speaking
words of comfort to the distressed
and where necessary give IF her
means to alleviate suffering of any
Kind. No one in need was ever turn
ID away from her door empty hand
I'd. She leaves to mourn her loss. a
devoted husband, two sons and one
two grandchildren, one
lister and a host of neighbors and
riends.
The funeral which was largely at
ended was held at Reynolds NJ. P.
Jhurch on Wednesday at 2 o'clock
q the afternoon. Rev. Otis B. Reed
f Wilmington, assisted by the pas
OF of the church, officiating. Inter
1ent in the cemetery adjoining the
hurch. S. J. Wilson and Son, fune-
al directors.
The writer extends to the bereav-
husband, children and relatives
is heartfelt sympathy.
The writer visited Slaughter
each a few days ago and was pleas
to note the many improvements
ding on at that splendid summer
esort. There were six or seven
Ottages under construction and
lore to be built at an early date. A
indmill and other improvements
re being given the finishing touches
the hotel. Pierce Brothers have !
lstalled an electric light plant and
ater system at their cottage and I
e hear of many other contemplated !
nprovements. What a fine place
laughter Beach could be made if r
Le owners would simply wake from
lat Rip Van Wrinkle sleep Of theirs
Id get busy making other improve
ents so badly needed.
The new dog law which goes into
feet June 1st is a fine piece Of +
gislation. The only objection we q
I'VE to it is that the tax is not nigh
lough. There are hundreds of q
dogs running at large U
hich are of no use whatever. They n
e half starved and in hunting for
cd they upset your garbage cans e
i'd make a mess of things in SEN u
al. At night it is a common thing a
hear the hounds chasing the d
ung rabbits and are destroying Fl
EN- by the hundreds. This is
anne and should be stopped at r
zee. We hope those who may be n
pointed to number the dogs will s
ike a complete job of the work q
d the lists turned over to the n
oper authorities will contain the
mes of the owners and the num- ir
r of dogs owned by each in the fe
;tricts where the law will be in is
.ce. We feel that this statute, if il
'ictly enforced, will be the means
getting clear of a large number 7,
the worthless ours now roaming he
er the country doing much dam af
e wherever they go. W
Why is it? that so many newly in
ds seem to think that when the =
,emony making them man and Sc
fe is over they must cease to have ia
Y more interest in church or social 81
airs whatever, but must HE away
their new homes and become dead a.
the world. This is surely a wrong en-
lception of things. If anything
se who have entered the mar
ge estate can be of more use af-
assuming the new life than be-
e. So we await to welcome you.
