Moore Mrs. Rachel Moore was
born in New Castle County, Del,
April 13, 1909. She was converted
at fourteen Immediately united
with the Methodist Episcopal
Church and continued in its COM
munion until her death at her
home in Odessa, Delaware, May 10,
1880. In all these fifty-seven years
of her christian life she was an ex-
ample of piety and an enthusiastic
Methodist. She was married jan
uary 20, 1929, to James v Moore,
Esq, and the celebration of their
golden wedding in 1879 was an
event in the community as we'll as
a glad and congratulatory meeting
with their children and hosts of
friends. The home of Sister Moore
was the home of the itinerant for
many years. The broad invitations
of her large-hearted husband never
overweighted her hospitality nor
dimmed the smile of her welcome
to the preachers and their families.
For more than year Sister Moore
was scourged by unrelenting dis
ease. For months she did not
know one moment of freedom from
excrutiating pain; if she selpt, she
she was clear and strong in her
faith, desiring and praying for
peace of soul. She had been a
member of Grace Methodist Epis-
copal Church in Wilmington during
the pastorate of the Rev Alfred
Goodman and had been led by him
into an experience which she weep
ingly sought to relieve during her
long illness. But the fortitude and
Christian submission with which
she endured the constant strain
upon body and brain and heart in
dicated high state of grace. Her
loss is keenly felt. Her bereaved
husband feels alone as never be
fore; her children themselves par
ents realize the more strongly the
loss of the affectionate but wise
prudent, and firm mother: many
friends weep over her. She shall
look love upon those who are faith
full, eternally.
Ministerial Rev J. D. Rigg
preached his initial sermon Oh
Sunday morning in the NJ. F.
Church to a large congregation,
taking for his subject the scrip
tural passage MY Kingdom is not
Of this world" which he proceeded 4
TO discuss for a half hour to a very
attentive audience The compara-
tive thought was that while, it Is
not of, or out Of it, il was for it,
as the light and he of the sun is
not of the earth but for the earth
to give it light and warmth and
life. He dwelt, however, mainly
on the relation of the Kingdom of
Christ" to the practical duties of
life; that its place was with the
active, moving multitude in their
business, political and social rela-
ton rather than in the monastery
Or cloister, the speaker showing
more than a degree of Individual
ity. In the Sunday School he was
greeted with THE Pastor We'll
come" spiritedly sung, his response
the children that they
have in him a genial friend and
ready cooperation. Friday was
