MILLSBORO

!
cendants of the founders of tn
church gathered to help make tn
day a memorable one.
The attendance was larger thai
has ever been and the afternoon ser
vices were conducted out of door
to enable all present to hear thu
speakers. x:4 >
An abundance of all kinds of goot
things to eat was served to every
one who would partake and thu
heart-warming spirit of loving kind
ness and hospitality that emanate6
from every source was as satisfying
in its way as the mental and spirit
ual stimulation received from the
prayers, music and addresses. 2
A concert by the Millsboro BanC
was enjoyed and appreciated by al
who heard it and several numbers
by the Millsboro quartet, E. E. Ry'
an, Mack Hudson, Kendall Hudson
and Harold Payne, were presented
in a special program.
An old fashioned love feast was
held in the morning by George E
Spicer of Laurel, followed by prea-
ching by Rev. Seth Givans, of st.
Georges. In the afternoon an ad-
dress was made by Brooks Reynolds
OF Stockley, prayer by DR.. w. E
Habbart and an address by DR.
Francis Burgette Short of Milford.
The remarks of DR.. Short were a
warning to take heed of our nation
al situation as well as making sure
Just where we are going spiritually
The import of DR.. Shorts remarks
would remind one of Kipling's RE
cessional:"
10, all our pomp of yesterday
Is, one with nieyah and tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet
Lest we forget-lest we forget,
If, drunk with sight of power, we
loose .. - ....
Wild tongues that have not Thee
in awe 81 80
Such boastings as the Geptiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient sacri-
fee,
An humble and contrite heart"
The nearby graves of those, who
have finished their course were si-
lent reminders of the Importance of
determining our spiritual status.
"All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding calls not Thee to
guard ..r
For frantic boast and foolish word
They mercy on Thy people, Lord"
