THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
AMALEKITES

AMALEKITES
(This story is based on Exodus
II, and Deuteronomy 25:17-19)
HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS! Have
you ever seen an Amalekite, or
do you know of anyone who has Z?
Of course not. And yet such a
nation did exist at one time, and
it was a very powerful nation at
that, but it has completely van
ished from the earth, so that for
many centuries there has not been
a single Amalekite left. In today's
story we will learn what it was
that led to that nations utter
destruction.
When the Israelites came out
of Egypt and wandered through
the wilderness, the Amalekites,
a fierce and warlike tribe, who
inhabited the desert, attacked the
faint and the weak ones among
them from the rear. Don't you
think that that was cruel and
cowardly thing to do?
Something had to be done about
it, and it had to be done quickly.
So Noses dispatched a band of
Israelitish soldiers under Joshua's
command to war against the Am
alekites, while he went up to the
top of hill, holding in his hand
the same rod with which he had
performed so many wonders. With
him were Aaron his brother, and
man by the name of Hur.
That day once again demonstra-
ted that prayer and faith are
mlghtier than the sword. While

Moses hands were raised in pray
er to God on top of that hill. it
was observed that the Israelites
were victorious over the Amale-
kites, but just as soon as Moses
became weary and dropped his
hands, the Amalekites prevailed.
Seeing how the victory alternated
from side to side, Aaron and Hur
held up Moses hands continually
until the Amalekites were com
pletely routed by the Israelites.
The Lord did not forget the
cowardly treachery of the wicked
Amalekites, for He said unto
Moses;
Remember what Amalek did
unto thee by the way, when We
came forth out of Egypt; How
he met thee by the way, and
smote the hindmost of thee, even
all that were feeble behind thee,
when thou vast faint and weary,
and he feared not Cod. Thou shalt
blot out the remembrance of Am
alex from under heaven; thou
shalt not forget it,"
Their total destruction was
completed by David centuries la
ter, and so effectually, that there
is not a single Amalekite left
anywhere on the earth. So you
see, boys and girls, how tenderly
God cares for and loves His chill
dren, and that no act of cruelty
done to them passes unnoticed by
Him. Don't you think that such
a God deserves our wholehearted
love and devotion?

Council Rejects
Wage Proposals;
Pickup Of Ashes
Is RecOnsiderer

The two subjects of greatest
importance considered at the
regular meeting of S m yrn a
Town Council Friday night were
the wage review and a study of
the proposed revisions to the
town charter, to be prepared by
the town attorney. After a
lengthy review and study of
comparative figures of salary
scales received from many
towns in Delaware, and also
from industry in this area, and
finding that the salaries of town
employees in Smyrna were in
line with the others, council
voted unanimously that no ac-
ton be taken at this time on
wage raises. Mayor Robert
Riddagh called for reconsidera-
ton of the ruling at the last
meeting that the town would
discontinue the collection OF
ashes, saying that it was his
feeling that the council should
not take any services away from
the people. 1t was suggested
that the town make an effort to
find someone to provide this
service. Bids were opened from
three bidders for the towns an
nual requirements of gas and
oil, and the award went to
Clements Supply Co. for gaso-
line at tank wagon less two and
one-quarter cents, and fuel oil
at tank wagon less two cents,
Bids were also received from
Diamond Supply and Sinclair
1t was voted that daylight saw,
ing time be extended to Sunday,

FIREMEN END
TOY PROJECT

Volunteers of the Citizens
Hose Company will not con-
duct their Christmas toy pro-
ject this year. Announcement
to this effect was made by
company officials today who
stated that the firemen are
not solicitating any toys this
year and do not want any
brought to the fire house. The
decision to abandon the pop
ular toy project was caused
by a lack of time available to
members of the committee.
Many of the firemen now are
employed in out-of-town jobs
which prohibit them from en-
gaging in such activity.
