Captain Vinyard united with our
First Presbyterian Church on De

Board of Trustees in 1929 and was
ordained an Elder May IS, 1880.
During all these years he main
tanned a lively interest in the
work and worship of this Church
and until prevented by illness, he
was regularly found in his place at
the worship services. His admins
trative ability was always at the
disposal of the Board of Trustees
during his incumbency. We mourn
his loss but the record of his quiet
unassuming life among us VIII
keep his memory green.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLN-
ED that we bow in submission to
this dispensation of Providence in
calling our brother from his earth
ly labors: that we thank the Di-
vine Leader by whom the steps of
a good man are ordered" for the
life Elder Vinyard has lived among
us; that we recognize our loss as
his gain. and also be it
RESOLVED IL. That we extend

resolution of love and esteem for
our departed brother; that copies
be forwarded by Clerk of Session

tion he published in the Milford

HEARING HEED

By T. A. HALL. Milford, Del.
When you hear the weeping
And the wailing there in keeping
With that pit of lost despair
And you see the leaping
OF flames and demons peeping,
Will Won want to be down there!
When life for you is ended
And your soul from you descended
Will YOU have the right to choose
The place you want to go
Whether up or down below!
Is there not chance for you to
lose?
Or do you really think
You can stand on Hell's brink
And do Just as you damn please
That you can choose to serve the
Lord
Or deny His Holy Word
Or choose to do neither one OF
these?
One day One was cruciiied;
On Calvary's Cross He bled ana
died.
He suffered there alone for you:
II you reject Him-know this wen
There is no place for you but Hell.
So make up your mind today what
you will do.
The thing that you should now
decide
Concerns a place where you can
hide
Away from Gods eternal wratm
Jesus Christ. the truth, the way
Offers you that place today
And He's calling you to follow IN
his path. II
