George w. Lloyd, Union Street, Dead
George w. Lloyd, aged 62, died
suddenly at his home on Union Street,
early Thursday morning of apOplexy.

at 11.30 o'clock and fell to the floor.

ing. Mr.. Lloyd was born and raised
near Seaford. For number of years
he was a farmer near Clayton and
left the farm to accept a position in
Chester. About two years ago he
and his wife purchased a home on
Union Street and he moved to Smyr-
ma. He was a fine speciman of ply
sique, was a good father and good
citizen and made friends with all
who knew him. His widow, who was
Miss Annie Burris of near Kenton, is

two sons, Irving Lloyd and Ernest

ST. PETERS CHURCH NOTES
Rev. Thomas Getzz Hill, Rector, An
nOunce Holy Week and Easter Service

Rev. Thomas Getzz Hill, Rector, An
nOunce Holy Week and Easter Service
With thoughts of the Easter JOY
there ought always to come to the
Christian some thoughts Of Holy
Week sadness. Without the Cross
there is no Crown. So there comes
the call to contemplation on the
scenes of the judgement hall and Cal
vary. The darkest hours are always
those just before the dawn, and those
hours serve to emphasize the bright
ness of the day. This should be our
attitude towards the days just before
the Glorius Feast Of Easter. With
this thought in mind the Church has
provided for extra services, and for
services Of unusual character for these
few days. Tomorrow, Maunday Thurs
Gay, there will be in st. Peters Church
a celebration of the Holy Communion
at 7.30 a. m, and at 4.15 pm, Even
song with ali address. On Good Fri
day the Three Hours Devotion at the
foot of the Cross. This service con-
tinues to grow in its appeal, and there
are constantly larger numbers of peO-
pie availing themselves of such a
privilege. Beginning promptly at II
o'clock noon, the minutes until 3
o'clock are devoted to Hymns, Pray
ers and MeditatiOns. For those who
cannot possibly come for the whole
time, the singing of the Hymns give
a proper space for coming and going
Let US make this little sacrifice fol
the sake Of Him who made such I
tremendous sacrifice for US. On Sat
urday, Easter Even, at A o'clock th'
Sacrament of Holy Baptism will b.
administered. Easter Day will begil
as in former years with service at
o'clock in the morning. A second ser
vice of Holy Communion with sermon
will take place at IL o'clock; and tn
Church School Easter Festival will b
at p. m. Those having flowers t
be used as memorials on Easter Da
will notify either Miss Helen Start 0
Mrs. Olive Shallcross. Contribution
towards the Church School flower
may be handed either to the Recto
or TO Miss Emily Spruance.
