the King of Israel and his Re-
deemer the Lord of hosts; / ann
the first and l am the last; be-
side me there is no God" Isaiah

Zone God, one law, one element
and one far-off divine event, to
which the whole creation moves. .

go toward the Indebtedness on the
Sunday School building, so let's
make the offering worthwhile.

IL a. M, with the organ prelude,
Mrs. Agnes Webb at the organ,
assisted by John Clark at the

Another Homecoming has come
and gone and what most wonder
full day it was, The Lord was very
good to give us such ideal weather
and affording such gifted and con-
secrated speakers for the worship
services which were largely at
tended. The speaker of the morn
ing was DIR. Donald ID. Douglas,
Dean of Wesley Junior College,
Dover. The violin solo by Clifford
Bergstrom of Wilmington was
much enjoyed as also were the
numbers by the Junior and Sem
ior Choirs.
The evening service began with
an old fashioned song service
where everybody sang directed by
Robert H. Yerkes, Sr. This was
followed by the speaker of the
evening, Rev. Robert F. Loss, pas
tor of Hartly Methodist Church,
who delivered most wonderful
sermon and we feel sure those of
us who listened to him, went home
much wiser and with a great deal
| to think about and ponder over.
Mrs. John Lennon and Mrs. Carl
Prentice favored with a lovely vO-
cal duet The Chancel and Senior
Choirs supplied special numbers.
Both speakers used the same scrip
ture text There were a number of
familiar faces of former friends
and residents at the close of the
service, reception was held in
the Fellowship Hall where all
could be together and discuss old
times. Refreshments were furnish
ed by the WSCS and OUR. Sun
day School Glass and were SER
we'd in abundance. 1 would say
1860 Homecoming was the best
yet.
We are very sorry to report our
good friend Mrs. Willis Clifton is
a patient in. Milford Memorial
Hospital.
We are also sorry to report
