The sermon Of the afternoon
was delivered by Rev. John
Stuart, of Montana, who used
for his text, Phil. 1913, "This
one thing I do" Rev. Stuart
stressed the important .chal-
lenge in front of the Christian
churches in these modern
times. A beautiful vocal solo
was rendered by Mr.. LeLoy
Bush, of Oxford, Pa.
The sermon at the evening
service was delivered by DR..
VIM. A. Wise, of Wilmington,
Del. DR.. Wise preached a per-
tinent and needful gospel SER
mon, using for his text, Matt.
1877, Bring him to me-"
DR.. Wise stressed the fact
that the redeeming power Of
Jesus was still here, but many
folks were not connected with
this power.
Special music for this service
was an anthem by the choir
and solo by Mr.. Claude Buck.
These anniversary services
we'll repaid those attending
them. Much credit is due the
pastor, Rev. J. C. Mccoy, and
those in charge of the arrange
ment of the services.
Programs for the services,
with a photograph of the pres
ent church and an insert of the
pastor, were given to all those
attending.
In the historical sketch a fine
tribute was paid to the Rev. Mr..
Mccoy, who has served this
congregation efficiently and
faithfully during the last five
years. His splendid spirit and
friendly feeling toward all hui
mainly have meant much in
the recent development Of the
church.

Nov. End, by holding three
beautiful and inspirational SER
vices. The church was beau
tifully decorated for the occa-

Miss Hanna ]. Reynolds.
Splendid congregations of
members and friends OF the
church were present at all of
the services.
The sermon at the morning

w. Ewing, of Newark, Del,
who delivered a masterful SER
mon, using as his text Col.

sermon showed how God was
the center of the universe, and
explained the agreement of
present day science with facts
of the Bible. Special music

In the afternoon service a
very interesting tribute to the
work of the Methodist Church

last seventy-five years was pre-
sented by Mr.. Edwin L. Haines
in the form of an historical
sketch of the church. This
sketch proved of much interest
to the large audience assem-
bled. Much credit is due to Mr..

work required in the compila-
ton of an elaborate sketch of
this kind. The contents of
this historical sketch will be
published in this and succeed

from nearly half the States polling
places indicated today that the Demo-
Gratis would control the next General
Assembly, which convenes in January,
with majorities at least as heavy as in
the 1929 session.
Most of the counties where fights for
control of delegation were hottest were
included in the early returns, and few
overturnS were looked for from those
late to count the remaining ballots.
With most of the vote in In Baltimore
City County, indications were that
Democratic representation in the city
delegation of 80 out of SO would be
maintained. Five of the six State SEN
ators appeared safe for the Democrats
as two years ago.
The Democratic city Senators with
apparently safe leads were John E
Bouse, incumbent; George Arnold Prick
Benjamin II. McKindless, Thurman G.
Atkinson and James T. Kennedy.
The last ballots to be counted were
expected to settle the close contest In
the fourth senatorial district between

COLLEGE GIVES VERSES TO POLLARD
UNDER CUSTOM DATING TO 1893
William and Mary Presents Poem in Original Latin, in
Accordance With Royal Charter.

by the president, faculty and students
of the College of King and Queen
William and Mary in Virginia. in accord
ance with the provisions of the ancient
charter Of the college, November 5. 1880.
Oh happy Virginia, which has deigned
to intrust thy safety to such a man.
No royal office, no fierce greed for
power entices him from the love he
bears his dear native land. In truth,
he is a citizen and as citizen he gov
ems with impartial yoke. To his fellow
citizens he administers justice with up
right lips. A second Tully is here: like
him versed in the law. To him also
dost thou look as thy protector, dear
mother state. But do you, our guard
ian, follow the illustrious example of an
older age. May you, too, be father Of
your country"
Let not, however, these achievements,
though great, content you. Pursue q
farther goal and strive to excel the glory
OF men of old. Under your leadership
may the golden age return to your
people. May the virtue and the right
eousness of the father soon return. May
peace and justice again walk In happy
land and may the temples Of war keep
their gates fast closed. He who guided
the ship of state through dark waves to
the longed-for shore has himself given
into your hands the helm. May He
point the course to you. May He teach
the winds which threaten; where rocks
lie hid: what dangers Of the sea there
are.
May heaven protect you and with
favoring breezes bring you back again
to the halls of learning and the aeonian
grove. For the band Of scholars and
Of the Muses. Is sad, seized with long
ing for your return.
What gifts were given under King
to their Governors by our fathers: the
same now are given, honorable SIR. to
you. Yet, as no eervile race, but as one
which knows not now to endure o
foreign yoke, do we reileV this practice
Of our forefathers. Receive then these
tokens of our love. however small they
are and do not scorn the zeal OF your
PEOPLE.
