IDDLETOWN, DELAWARE, BATtJRD AST MORNING, DECEMBER 3 9,1914
|' DELAWARE COLLEGE
Addresses by Members of the
Faculty and Visitors
THE WIRELESS STATION OPEN
, Addresses by members of the faculty
and by visitors are becoming an inter
esting feature of the chapel exercises
at Delaware College. These addresses,
or talks which are limited to 10 minutes
deal.with subjects of more or less gen
eral* interest. One of these talks last
I
week was given by Professor Firman
Thompson on his experiences during
some year spent in the Hawaiian Is
lands. Professor Thomson said that no
one could construct in his imagination
an adequate picture of the Hawaiian
Islands as an ideal place to live. ' There
it is always summer,, but never hot.
The annual range in temperature is
about 35 degrees The sea-bathing is
just as pleasant and the flowers bloom
just as luxuriously in January as in
July. The scenery is wonderful. One
may stand among the palms on thi
beach and see the snow smiling ahout a
peak 13000 feetin height.Orone may gaze
down into a crater of molten lava, and
x)
hear the waves beating against i's sides
like breakers on the beach. But although,
the Hawaiian Islands are an ideal place
to live in, they are not an ideal place $6
work in. After one has been there fq'r
some time, one loses interest in his work,
and finds that instead of progressing he
is simply drifting. In conclusion, Pro
fessor Thompson said that no oneshould
go to the tropics unless he expected to
return. "Don't burn your bridges be
hind you," he said, "and don't stay too
long."

The Offering as usual on Christmas
Day is for the Aged & Infirm Clergy
Fund, which is also devoted to the wid

It is a fact that the Church does not
now provide a bare sustenance for the
men who have given therr lives to the
ministry and who, in their advanced
years, are either unable to find employ
ment or to accept it when found. The
annual allowance is less than three hun
dred dollars. There has been worked
out by a committee of the General
Convention a pension scheme which
some day may be realized, but it will
come only after much effort,enthusiasm,
faith, and patience. Meanwhile, we
must take care of present demands as
best we can. The Rector knows of a
Clergyman's wife, left the last year
(Easter Monday) a widow, with seven
little boys (the youngest four months
old and the eldest twelve years) be
reaved of husband and father, his de tlj
following an attach of appendicitis.
The family was left with an income of
only $100 a year. Let our Offering
this year be a generous one !

festivals on which all the faithful are
expected to make their communions.
Let us have a large number at the

Seal Found at Delaware City
Delaware City, Del., Dec. 13. —A
large seal has been feeding in the har
bor here and on the mud flats about
the canal locks during the past few days.
A number of attempts have been made
to capture the seal, but at the first ap- ;
pearance of men it quickly seeks the (
shelter of the marehes.
The seal is about four feet in length.
At very high tide it appears near the
mud flats and in the shallows of the
harbor seeking the mud shad, which
are to be found in the harbor in large
quantities. The seal is thought to be
one of the three which escaped from
Fairmount Park last year, two of
which have since been captured.
