Moore on Sunday last treated his hearers to two exception ally fine sermons, at once instructive and spiritual. In the Morning he preached from the text in Luke 3:15 "The people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts whether John were Christ no." 1 The speaker's general thought was that for the world's salvation no mere human being, though never so great and good had been adequate. To prjve this he instanced three of the greatest characters in the Bible, viz. Moses, the great leader, statesman and lawgiver, "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians;" Samuel toe bold and con secrated prophet who at the close of a spotless life could demand of all Israel "Whose ox have I taken, whom have I defrauded, whom have I oppressed?"; and John the Baptist "that wonderful saint, who was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb," aid who as the forerunner of Christ boldly rebuked the Jewish people and Herod their Roman King, and proclaimed Him who should save all men from th4ir sins. "No human being, however giftqd, talented or holy was sufficient to be the Savior of the world—that, only the Divine Infant in the Bethlehem manger could be, because He stands pre-emi nent as the incarnated Son of God— "God made manifest in the flesh." .

U * h T he Middletown Farms „ Middletown's finest industry means much to the town, it in truth means more to our farmers for miles around. Therefore for the public good The Transcript thinks it advisable to quote the argumment published by the Mid dletown Farms in the Xmas number Showing why farmers i their milk to Middletown F than ship to the City." Mr. Frederick Brady would not say so himself, and so The Transcript ven tures to say it for him, that his well known liberality and the lively interest he has always shown in the Delaware farmers and in their should, send arms rather concerns, together with ths useful object lessons of new ideas in dairy and in farming, so often given them by him, have richly earned for him a grateful reciprocity upon their part. 1. We are now buying from Farmers in almost anyway they wish to sell, they wish to sell their milk to be used for retail if purposes, we buy it in that way; first at an agreed price per 100 pounds, with, r.f course, the usual duction under certain re percentages of butter-fat, and a bonus when the milk runs above standard; second, we will buy it at a given price per pound of butter-fat. In order that they may have their skim-milk back for feeding purposes, we buy the milk at so much per pound for*butter-fat, and sell them back their skim milk at a very nominal price; third, if they prefer to haye skim-milk on the farm, they hand separators, and sell us the cream. 2. In any of these cases they will be saved the expense of the extra needed when shipping to the city, and also the time and annoyance of meeting trains to ship milk or to ge.t back empties. ' own can use ! 3. We can always use their Whole product, therefore they can always pispose of ALL the milk they produce, and at all seasons. 4. In delivering, milk to the MID DLETOWN FARMS, full or partly full cans, may be used, whereas in ship- * ping, a partly full can hosts as much to ship as a full can. may at once clean their cans after them, istead of receiving them back with dirty or spoiled milk, days old, in the bottom of the can. 5. They can get their butter at wholesale prices. With us. Farmers em 6. They know when pay-day comes they will get their money without delay while with some buyers they may may not be paid promptly and fully. . 7. With us, if for any cause milk is delivered in an unsatisfactory condition it is known at the time, and there is no such annoyance as hearing, days after freight has been paid on the milk, that they will get nothing for it, and, more over, be forced to take another man's say-so as to the alleged defects, etc., in the milk. All these questions are set tled right at our milk window when the milk is received; hence no disputes need ever arise. 8. We always keep a supply of Feeding Stuffs on hand of which the Farmer can get any quantity from single bag to a carload, and have it charged without the delay of sending away for it, or of waiting for it to come in. These are, we think, sound reasons for Farmers selling their milk to tïi » Middletown Farms. or a OBITUARY AMOS ANDFB80N The Transcript regrets to chronicle he death on December 21st of Amos Anderson one of Middletown's best colored citizens. He was born April llth, 1868, and for seventeen years was employed by John A. Reynolds Esq., of this town. Upon the death of Mr Reynolds, Amos entered the service of the late Dr. Gil pin whose trusted servant he was unti . the doctor's demise. Thereupon Mr. Frederick Brady made him one of his household servants, and Mr. Brady pays him the high com pliment of saying that he was a loyal and devoted servant." Amos Anderson was highly respected by every one in the community, and his industrious, thrifty, and upright life was an example worthy of the imita tion of all. After appropriate funeral services in the Dale Chapel M. E. Church, the re mains were interred in the Dale ceme tery, Dec 23d, 1914. Schuman'* War Views Our jolly friend Charlie Schuman now thinks the Germans are more likely to take Berlin than Paris ! Guess Charlie is right, he generally i3—certainly he knows how to make the finest.kinds of hand-made harness. Mr. Schuman has a fine lot of bridles for farmers and others which he has just completed. If that crazy Kaiser could only be put into fine of Schuman's strong bridles, with Charlie to drive him tandem with some farmer's MisVouri mule, things iry Europe might improve. / / w
