His ruling passion is love Of his
ease. His only desire is to get
through life with the minimum Of
effort. He has no craving to sit in
the seats OF the mighty. He only
wants to be left undisturbed where
he is. He wouldn't work at all
except that even little labor is
less unpleasant than starvation, or
tramping. Good clothes, nice car,
owning his own home, making a
name for himself, the things for

them at too high a price of per-

on the do-nothing stool and twiddle

can't rouse his ambition, because he
hasn't any. She can't appeal to his
affection for her and his children
because he thinks that If they have
enough to eat and clothes to cover

LAST SUNDAY AT THE
METHODIST CHURCH


Last Sunday was Palm Sunday.
This fact had little to do with the
crowd that bent its way to the
Methodist Church, for possibly not
one in a hundred knew it was Palm
day. There were two things, being
a beautiful spring day, either one of
which would have filled the audi
torium-the continued revival and
the advent of the new pastor, Rev.
Adam Stengle.
The close of the second bell was
the signal for an organ voluntary
as usual, as the last of the congre-
cation are getting seated, followed
by a well-rendered anthem from the
chair. The announcement OF hymn
and prayer was by the Presiding
Elder. After the reception of a
class of probationers by Mr.. STEM
gle, he was appropriately introduced
to the congregation by Presiding
Elder Smith, in which he extolled
the economy of Methodism in pull
pit supply, viz: that one minister
took up the work where the other
laid it down without the loss of a
moment in the pastorate-every
preacher a church and every con-
gregation a preacher. Rev. Mr..
Stengle said he felt sense of re-
sponsibility in entering this pastor
ate he had never felt before, be-
cause of the large accession that
had been and were yet being made
to the, church involving an increas-
ed care and oversight, and asked
the sympathy and aid of the mem
bers in all the duties that pertained
to the church work.
He said that the incidents of the
past several weeks, part of which
he had suffered considerably from
bodily affliction (alluding to the
poinful injury he had received with
one of his hands, had in measure
untitled him for the duties before
him: he had lived before and after
the flood (refering to those of Port
Deposit that kept them in state
of anxiety for several weeks by the
water coming up into their houses)
that some of his things had gotten
wet but that he had kept his SER
mons dry, a fact they would be as
sured of after hearing him a few
times.

MINISTERIAL CHANGES

Rev. w. w. w. Wilson left on
Saturday for Baltimore with his in
valid wife, for the purpose of plac-
ing her in Johns Hopkins Hospital
for medical treatment. Mrs. Wilson
has the profound sympathy and in
terest of this people in her behalf.
Mr.. Wilson is awaiting the action
of the Newark Conference in re-
gard to his transfer to Hoboken.
Rev. Adam Stengle and family,
consisting of wife and little daugh-
ter, came on Saturday and have
been guests of Mr.. and Mrs. John
H. Hoffecker, their goods reaching
here in the meantime. The COM
mittee appointed for the purpose
had the parsonage ready for them
to take possession last evening, af-
ter partaking of good supper.
Rev. E. H. Hynson came on Sat
urday evening and preached at
Friendship Church in the morning
and Union at night. He expects to
return here again on Friday morn
ing with his family, consisting of
wife and daughter entering young
womanhood, his two sons being at
Delaware College. He will preach
his first sermon at Smyrna Landing
next Sunday evening, this congre-
cation being added to Appoquin-
mink Circuit under the new ar
lrangement. Another adjunct of
the Smyrna Church, Jerman's
Chapel, West Smyrna, has been at
tached to Smyrna Circuit by the
Presiding Elder and will have night
preaching by Rev. VIM. R. Now
bray. He with his family consist
ing of wife and two small hildren,
will take possession of the parson-
age tomorrow, Rev. R. K. Stephen
son and family, leaving 70 Crisfield.
Another important movement of
Presiding Elder Smith has been to
secure the services of Rev. VIM. K.
Galloway for the year for evangel-
istic service on Easton District.
This will be more agreeable and
furnish better support for his
family than the irregular way work
comes to him now 1t is probable
that he will leave after this week
for visit to his family at Potts
town.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

Anything is an excuse for long
ride to a counting couple; twelve
miles to a noted protracted meet
ing, when the latter had very little
to do with it.
Next Monday being the first
Monday in April, will be the last
day on which new classes will be
formed in the lower primary rooms
of the Smyrna Public Schools, and
consequently the last day on which
beginners will be admitted.
VIM. A. FAIRIES has bought the
rear part of lot belonging to the
Fruit Growers Bank facing on
Cummins street on which he has
moved a stable and carriage house,
to add to his gazing lot. He has
also erected an additional stable to

establishment.
The Delaware Conference of M.
E. Church held at Dover adjourned

Johnson, P. E., goes to zoar M. E.,
Philadelphia, Rev. j. R. Waters
becomes P. E., Rev. ]. R. Webb ex

ter of the late John j. Jones,
worthy and esteemed by her
friends. Her son, an Industrious
and steady young man, who has
had charge of the farm for the past
year or two, will still retain the
management of it.
The first quarterly Love Feast of
this Conference year will be held
next Sunday morning at 9 o'clock,
followed at 1920 by a sermon from
Presiding Elder Smith.
Mr.. William Collins died at his

was packed, so they must have

Our gallon of syrup, the same we
watched being made while on the
Vermont trip, arrived several days

Miss Buchard, the new Kent
County U.S.O. director, is a past
master of human psychology, tact,
and efficiency. With the Recreation
Center being under U.S.O. direc-
ton, Smyrna people will get to
know Miss Buchard in the future,
as she will spend as much time here
as possible in establishing a
smoothly run social program. If
she can't start the ball rolling here,
can.
Wonderful plans are in the offing,
with the new U.S.O. help. For
those who have misunderstood the
Center will still be maintained pri-
marily for the women war workers
here, and their guests, the most of
which are in the various branches
of the armed services. Not only
that-but the small fry will be TAX
en- care of, too. The young school
chilluns have recently flocked to the
Center to play ping-pong, checkers
and other games, and to dance and
sing.
Most U.S.O. funds go to the boys
in service, but a certain amount is
budgeted for industrial areas-and
that is where we come in. These
united organizations, of which Miss
Buchard represents the Y. w. C. A.,
always consider local problems and
meet them. Thus the plans for the
small fry, and the military, as we'll
as the girls.
Nothing daunts Miss Buchard.
She even learned to jitterbugl She
has had vast experience in both in
and military areas, and can
make instant and correct decisions.
Her sense of humor is keen, her
sympathy and understanding warm,
her calm efficiency miraculous.
Wonderful things will be done in
Smyrna under her leadership.

CUT DOWN IN FLOWER OF
YOUTH

The young friends OF Miss Addie
L. Davis were panied on Saturday
to learn of her death from heart
trouble which occurred early that
morning at. the residence of her
father, Nehemiah T. Davis, near
Summit Bridge, at the age of 20
years and 6 months. The most of
the time since she entered her
teens was spent in this town, MAX
ing her home here with a relative
to attend the select school of Her.
man Roe, and only returned per-
manently to her fathers year or
two ago. Her visits have been fire.
quent in the intervening time, and
her death elsewhere seemed as if
she was off on a visit at the time.
She was what is kown as a good
girP-lovely disposition, quiet but
cheerful demeanor, true companion
ship and withal, fine contour of
face with bright eyes and rosy
cheeks, that made her attractive to
look upon as well as cherished in
companionship. She had been a
true member Of church from her
tender years, obeying all it's ordin-
ances. A number of her friends
went up yesterday to attend her
funeral in Forest Cemetery, Mid
dletown. 1t seems strange that
one who when last in town wore
such rich bloom of youth, should
today be numbered with the long
list of the dead.

The
What Not Shelf
BY Louise Hoffecker Burslen


Notes On the Junior Play.
In spite of corny and rather
pointless script, even for teen-age
vehicle, the cast of last Friday
nights 1.-The Uncertain Age" did
even better than was expected of
the Juniors. There were no long
and agonizing pauses due to for
gotten lines or half asleep promp-
tors-and that, at least, was COM
mendable. The play, even tho bad
ly chosen as such, could have been
improved upon so per cent with
better direction = but this, of
course, was not the fault of the
cast.
Nancy Wilson, the heroine, with
her lovely red-gold hair fairly shin
ing, looked as cute as cotton, and
certainly wins the laurels for the
best performance. Honorable men,
ton goes to Lorraine Pleasanton,
who acted with ease and natural
ness, and to Wells Campbell, who
was one of the few speaking loud
enough to be heard beyond the
second row.
AS for makeup. with the excep-
ton of one character, it was pass
able as far as it went-but it didn't
go nearly far enough. 1t rather
ruins the illusion to have mothers
and fathers looking the very same
age, if not younger, than their chill
dren. The one exception was the
negro maid-and that wasn't even
passable. She merely looked like
someone who hadn't washed in six
months-and this rather detracted
from her performance.
If we have given the impression
that "the play stunk"-we are sor-
ry, for considering the tremendous
odds, including competition with a
noisy audience, the kids were sur
