GLENDALE
The Boxing Bill

boxing bill and it is now before the
Governor for his approval or disap-
proval.
The writer wishes he was strong
enough to comment on the measure
in such terms as he thinks it should
have. Perhaps others will measure
swords with the advocates of this
obnoxious bill.
The youths of Delaware have
plenty to contend against outside of
this measure just passed by the
Legislature of Delaware.
If this is a fair sample of the
work in which the solons of Della
ware are engaged in the sooner they
adjourn and go home the better it
will be for the public at large.
We have faith in Governor Buck
and believe he will do the right
thing when the time arrives.
The churches irrespective of de-
nomination should present a solid
front against the boxing bill and
present such facts before the Cover
nor that he will be compelled to We
to the measure.

Sick
Mrs. John Beebe who was oper-
ated upon last week at the Emer-
gency Hospital, Milford, for gall
stones, has been very weak, but
latest reports say she is much bet
ter.
Miss Josephine Belts who has
many relatives and friends in Ellen
dale, regret to learn that her i'm
provement is very slow. She is con-
fined in the Emergency Hospital at
Milford, suffering with heart trou-
BILE.
Those of our citizens who have
been suffering with that dread dis
ease, la-grippe, seem to be improv-
ing. The younger people seem to
recover quickly; while those OF
more mature years seem to have a
hard time to get clear of the dis
case.

Church News
The Church Sunday morning was
not so well attended as the Sunday
before. Seventy-four were present,
loss of 21.
This shows conclusively that the
teachers and others interested
should be on the job at all times.
Jesus Temptad was the topic for the |
day. Different of opinions prevailed,
which often do, but the Golden Text
explains more fully than the writer
can do. In that He Himself hath ;
suffered being tempted. He is able
to succor them that are tempted.
Heb. 2:1S.
The class meeting which followed
the Church School was slimly at
tended. Why? Have the people who
profess to serve God, lost all love
for the class room? This is one {
place where the followers of Jesus
can throw the world aside and
stand face to face with God once t
more. Joseph S. Short, Sr., was in {
charge of the meeting.
The Epworth League had charge 1
Of the services at p. m. e. F.
Whitney, leader. A very nice pro-
gram was presented to be followed t
oy an excellent sermon by the pas s
