Church, Wilmington, and were the
evening and over night guests of
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Johnson and
family at their home at Collins Park,
Newcastle, Delaware.
Both services on Sunday morning
were largely attended, the Church
School seems to be growing in
numbers.
AT the hour of worship, both the
Senior and Junior Choirs gave
special selections. Daniel Anstine
took the solo part in the Junior
choir. The minister chose his text
from Psalm so: IA from which he
delivered a very helpful sermon.
Due to illness Mrs Agnes Webb was
unable to be present, so Mrs. Ethel
Johnson was at the organ.
On her way to church on Sunday
morning, the writer saw a very
heartwarming sight, as she met
Robert II. Yerkes, Sr., and his
Sunday school class of Is boys
ranging in age from 10 to Is years.
There will be more to join. If there
were more like Mr.. Yerkes to take
such interest in other communities,
perhaps teenagers would not get
into so much trouble and there
would be fewer delinquents. Our
church is very thankful for and
proud of its young people. We know
II we depend upon God for spiritual
guidance, the religious forces in a
community will be strengthened.

ing career for our future adults.

several marches and appropriate

crowd and called the meeting to
order. The unusual business session
followed which was highlighted by
