A splendid program was pre-
sented at Trinity Methodist Church
last Sunday for the 63rd anniver-
sary service. About one hundred
were present including some from
Baltimore and Wilmington who
came home for the occasion. The
speaker for the occasion was Mr..
Frank Shook of Easton, Md, who
likened many church members TO
spare tires, said they were not
much good but just carried along
for an emergency. Special music
by the choir was somewhat cur
tailed by illness. A triple deck
anniversary cake was presented by
the local bakery. OF the thirteen
members with over fifty years affil-
iation with the church, six of them
were present for the service. Ill
ness caused others to be absent.
Special recognition was given them.
Mrs. Elizabeth Harris with the
longest membership, was delegated
to make the first cut in the cake,
assisted by her niece, Mrs. Martha
Sheath. who is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Benjamin Knox, who are
among the 13 honor members. The
Rev. Thomas c. Jones asked for a
love offering of $4,000. one for each
year of the anniversary. After the
money was counted the fund
amounted to $500. Many of the
donations were given to honor the
men in the service by their moth
ers who were present. A feature
of the evening service was music
by the Rainbow chorus directed by
Mrs. Clyde Miller and Mrs. Thomas
c. Jones.
