HOW TT STARTED
AL.
by JEAN NEWTON.

AL.
1T is easily understandable and
perfectly logical that the combination
of "a and Il should mean flrst
class. of the very highest type, best
quality. etc. writes II reader, but
how did it start-what got the idea
first?"
AL had it's start as symbol in
the code which was used to grade YES
sells in the shipping registers of
1.loyd's in England. where 1t signified
the highest classification of a vessel
on Lloyd's list. a. denoted the CON
dition of the vessel, while a. alluded
to that of it's stores. The introduction
of the expression into literature and
perhaps one medium by which its pop.
ula rity came into modern use, was in
Capt. Marryat's Peter Simple" pub
lished in 1884.

A REAL HEROINE
communicated

In these days when evervone
seems engrossed in their own af-
fairs, it is good to find one here and
there in this world, who is unsel-
fish enough to think of others and
to make sacrifices to help those who
cannot help themselves.
In the little hamlet of Williams
Vile, some four and one-haIf miles
west from Milford, there is an old
time church building, where regular
preaching services were discontin-
ued some seven or eight years ago
in which neighborhood there are a
number of children, who would have
been deprived of the privilege of at
tending a Sunday school had it not
been for the Christian courage of a
young woman in that community.
who felt the need, and was willing
to make the sacrifice.
A year or so after the old church
was closed to public worship she
had a man come there and organize
a Sunday school, which she has
kept running ever since. She has
had to act as superintendent, teach
er and janitOr, etc.
Anyone having the courage to do
this, ought to receive the commen-
dation and support of the entire
community, regardless of what
church they may belong, or whether
they belong to any church at all.
We refer to Miss Pearl Bradley
who has charge Of the little Sunday
school at Williamsville, Delaware.
One may wonder why the writer
takes so much interest in the above
mentioned school, but will cease to
wonder longer, when told that more
than sixty-five years ago, when
little boy, we spent three years of
our life in this little village, con-
siderably larger then than it is now.
That we went to Sunday school in
this same old church and to day
school in the little old school house
that stood just across the way. That
old school house has long since been
torn away and new one built in
its place, and this has been sold and
moved away, and the children now
go to school at Houston.
But during all these years the lit
tie old church still fingers in our
memory and we want to encourage
anyone who has the moral courage
to keep the work still going that was
going on so many years ago.
