| Last saturday morning dS Iu6 sun
began to send forth rays from the
eastern sky, and the new day was
breaking forth in brightness and
beauty, full of promise for the
many joys and daily routine of the
home, suddenly the death angel
from heavens portals visited the
home of Fred West, with but slight
warning of a heart attack; he ac-
cepted the summons. His mother,
Mrs. Clara West, was sent for and
on arriving at the home, was sud
denly overcome by the shock and
fell to the floor; taking her depar-
ture as did her son.
The double funeral services were
held in the st. Georges NJ. E.
Church, last Tuesday at 2 p. m. The
services were most unusual. Rev. O..
H. Connolly officiating. His text was
End Timothy. AT. have kept the
faith. Subject, 1--WE have kept the
faith.
Mrs. Clara A. West, age 81 years,
was a life long resident in Balti-
more Hundred, and was the wife of
Charles H. West, living near Omar.
She was loving wife, and appre-
ciated by her family and many
friends. She is survived by one son
and five daughters: Everett West,
Mrs. Samuel Davis, Mrs. John Hud-
son, Mrs. Richard Holt, Mrs. Geo.
Murray, Mrs. Andrew Murray.
Fred West was 43 years old and
was a we'll known farmer with an
enviable reputation, happy father
of ten children, with a faithful and
loyal wife, Mrs. Beulah West.
Our heartfelt sympathy is ex-
tended to both families in their be-
reavement and trial. Jesus said
blessed are they that mourn, for
they shall be comforted.
Capt. George Anderson and fam
lily were weekend guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. W. Helm.
hoboth and spent Saturday and
Sunday with his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kingsley Richards
visited relatives on Saturday and
Sunday.
One of our residents has a new
hobby-dog .fancying. He has al
ready supplied a number of his
friends with puppies (for the ask
ing) but it appears that the limited
supply is exhausted.
John Harmon is busily attending
to his broilers. We are wondering,
if when they are ready for market,
there will be a slump in price. We
hope not.
We have been enjoying few days
of mild weather, but let's us not be
over optimistic about their continu-
ance.
We are glad to report that Rich
ard and Joan Steele have recovered
from their illness that kept them
quarantined for several weeks.
White Leghorn chickens have
been changing their place of resi-
dence; many have gone to the city
of New York. There surely must be
a very good reason for same.
Several families of our village at
tended the Presbyterian Church at
Ocean View to hear their new pas
tor, Rev. Velie on last Sunday after
noon. Our best wishes to pastor
and congregation.
The Sunday school lesson subject
for next Sunday is "The Great Ply
sician." This is most interesting
because it deals with heal
ing without medicine. Not that med
icine is not essential, but the fact
that Jesus was the Son of God and
did not resort to humane methods
in curing disease. The spoken word,
and the Divine touch, with a re-
pentant soul, was all that was ne
cessary to alleviate pain and suf-
fering, to open the eyes of the blind,
cause the deaf to hear, the lame to
walk, and to raise up one sick with
malaria fever, which was Simon
Peters mother-in-law. Simon Peter
loved and honored his mother-in-
law, do we? st. Luke was a physi-
clan and possibly healed hundreds
but Jesus healed thousands. His
chief mission was to heal mems
souls, and make them fit for the
kingdom of Heaven here on earth.
Have I and have you, been touched
by Heavens Great Physician?
Rev. o. H. Connolly will preach
On next Sunday morning in the st.
Georges M. E. Church. His text will
be found in ST. John 1928, and his
subject will be "a Much Fruit
Christian"
