Milford chronicle., 1925-11-20
Glendale

wilmington, assembled IN IJlleuuitlS
to help celebrate the seventh ami
versary of the Glendale NJ. E.
Church. Three services were held
during the day: Morning. afternoon
and night. The morning service was
under the auspices of Sunday school
class No. 8, Mrs. H. w. Jester, tea
cher. The program presented was
very good. The address OF [. Elmer
Perry, of Wilmington, was fine and
the advice given to the young men
present was to seek and obtain
those things which would elevate
and not degrade. Those present were
highly pleased with this service. At
2:30 D. m. Rev. T. F. Beauchamp, OF
Wesley NJ. e. Church, Georgetown,
occupied the pulpit and delivered a
discourse well worth hearing. Mr.
Beauchamp quoted the parable OF
the rich man who wanted to build
larger barns to hold his immense
crops and then take his ease and
pleasure without considering God or
his fellow man in anw way. He then
quoted the words which God said to
the man, Thou fool, this night thy
soul shall be required of thee" The
speaker said it was dangerous po-
sition for anyone to assume without
taking the Supreme Being into part
nership, or giving to his fellow be-
ings any consideration whatever
The mans only thought was for him
self and a selfish spirit was shown
throughout. When God called for his
soul. he was compelled to leave his
barns, his excess of grain, for to go
to receive the punishment he so
richly deserved. 1t was a strong SER
mon listened to intently by his
hearers to the end.
At Z p. m. the EpwOrth League,
with Mrs. Eldred Ingram as leader,
had charge of the services for
half hour. The exercises were high
ly pleasing to all present.
At 1880 p. m. Rev. W. E. Gunby, D.
D., was the speaker. DR.. Gunby was
at his best and delivered one of the
strongest sermons ever heard in Ell
lendale NJ. E. Church. His text was
What Think Ye of Christ" The
speaker started at the very begin
ming of things, and called witnesses
both friends and enemies of Jesus
to prove He was the Christ. AS he
proceeded with his discourse he
grew eloquent and his arguments so
convincing that if any doubts re-
mained in the minds of his hearers
about the divinity of Christ they
were entirely swept away. He left
with his hearers picture which the
minds eye could see which repre-
sented a powerful Saviour Whose
mission to earth was to redeem the
world from sin. 1t was powerful
discourse which held the undivided
attention of his hearers from the be-
ginning to the end. 1t was one of the
greatest days Ellendale ever had.
The congregations were large and
the people who were present had
nothing but praise for all the SER
VICES of the day.
There is a project on foot to build |
a Community Building in Ellendale. |
This is a move in the right direction.
This town certainly stands in need |
of building of this kindYIf our fire
men will get busy and put their
shoulders to the wheel the contem-
plated improvement will go forward !
with a rush. We feel satisfied that
when the people know that our fire
laddies are in earnest they will aid
them in every possible way. Not
only the citizens of the town but the
people who reside in the country al
so. Our growing village certainly
needs a commOdious hall owned by
some organization or the public
which will not be closed or sold.
Our present halls are owned eXclus-
lively by private interests and are
liable to be sold or closed at any
time. A few nice carnivals, a few
fine suppers, few entertainments
of different kinds, to be held with
the assistance of the good women Of
this place and the surrounding COM
munity will bring success, and soon
er than we think a building will be
erected which will be an honor to
the town and to all those who take
a part in building it.
In conversation with gentleman
If means few days ago, in regard
s. Sutting into effect the erection of
4 Community Hall he said, will
pack the fire boys to the limit and
will furnish the cash necessary to
lring about this great improvement. I
let busy, boys, we know of splen-
lid site which will be for sale at an
Early date, which you can secure
f you want it. !
