Vesper Services
SINGING BY CHOIR

The vesper service ON Sunday
evening was attended by persons
from Smyrna, Clayton, Kenton,
Hartly, Dover and other places,
with interest in the colorful out
door service being maintained and
increasing as the series has pro-
ceeded during the month of July.
In the cool, serene setting the SER
vices have a special significance,
giving added meaning to the pro-
gram. The Rev. DR.. John N. Link,
pastor of Peninsula Methodist
Church, Wilmington, gave a stir
ring address on the text of st.
Paul's: "I Went Into Arabia" He
traced the historical background
to Saul of Tarsus' conversion to
Christianity, when across his hat
reds and bigotry he had the con-
viction that the Nazarene was
alive. He described his days of
confusion and darkness of spirit,
resulting in a complete reversal of
his former beliefs and he gave HIM
self Immediately, finding power
thereby for life's demanding exper-
ience. He went through the phases
of deep thought of his former ar
rogance and price; of self-abase-
ment and shame; of repentance
and self-dedication. The speaker
then asked: where do we go in
times of stress and distress" when
problems of home, work, and the
community weigh us down; when
we are lonely, forsaken; when we
need new courage, when ideals fade
and we drift away from what mat
ters? Some go to the world, DR..
Link, continued, some to books for
comfort, where they find a thousz
and PHILOSOPHERS to confound their
confusion; some to friends, who
may ignore them and turn away;
some to the church. He stressed
taking the right attitude, use the
good of all these things. He urged
that in "some Arabia" an out
reach of faith with Christ, may be
found wisdom and confidence, guild
ance and strength, with power i'm
parted; into the arabia" of pray
er and personnel experience. Vocal
solos were sung by Miss Doris
Slaughter. The choir of Asbury
Church sang, with Miss Ruth john
son at the portable organ. The
platform was decorated with palms
and a large basket of gladioli, and
the flags of the Christian Church
and of America. The Rev. Walter
L. Beckwith, pastor, was in charge
of the service, and presented the
speaker.
