ing 10 pear that name, the pastor,
Rev. Earl NJ. ShOckley, was very for
tunate in securing Rev. VinOl E.
Hills, pastor of Madeley M. E.
Church, Wilmington, to be here and
Officiate at the formal opening and
rededication services, as he was
the builder of the church 22 years
ago, during his pastorate of six years
on Selbyville Charge. In the morn
ing the Rev. Hills preached a very
appropriate sermon for the occasion,
using as his text, Luke, 18th chapter,
verses 20 and 21-"And when he
was demanded of the Pharisees
when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered, The kingdom of
God cOmeth not with observation;
Neither shall they say 10 here! or
|, there for behold the kingdom of
God is within you" After a good,
sound explanation of the gospel, an
other important feature of the day
took place-a special effort to raise
sufficient funds to cover the cost of
repairs and to finish up an indebted
Eess of the past two years, which
amounted TO $3,80G.00. This part
of the program was turned over to
u. S. Senator John G. Townsend, Jr.,
and in just fifty minutes the entire
debt was wiped off the slate. Every
body were so delighted they all arose
and sang second time, Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow"
followed with the benedictiOn by the
Rev. Hills, who also occupied the
pulpit again in the evening and
preached another Interesting sermon |
from Genesis, LIST chapter. and verse |
27-"GOd created man i'm his own !
image" and from Ephesians 4 and |
24-"And that ye put on the new |
man, which after God is created in |
righteousness and true holiness"
