Gavan Duflfy, Of New York, Will Conduct Services Next Week A series of mission services of un- usual interest will begin, at St, Paul's Episcopal church, Sixteenth and Mar ket streets, next Sunday to extend through the following Sunday. The missioner is to be the Rev. P.: Gavan Duffy,, priest superior of the Society of the Divine Compassion, He comes to Wilmington direct from his home in New York, where he has recently ended a most successful mission at St. Andrew's church. The missioner is proWably one of the greatest inspirational preachers of his denomination. At times he Is eloquent, and always impressive. He preaches boldly, with much liveliness and many gestures. The burden of his preaching is absolute, surrendered trust and faith in Christ, and the utterly unquestion ing following of Christ in all things, small and great. ' He really means all he says and practices it in his own life, and his. preaching carries with the conviction of this. His ideas are mostly new and startling, yet manifestly drawn from the words and examples of Jesus. "He has gifts from' God as a healer of Sickness through faith," writes fhe Rev. E. Bertram Brown of Calvary church, Tarboro, "and some very re markable cures here came, about after his blessing the person; and some other kinds of. striking answer to pray,er given during his mission made a deep impression. But he does not want to have the matter of healing empha sized to the detriment of his preach- I Inc and tpachins- " " " " - 3" The following extracts are taken from published letters, chiefly from laymen, giving their impression of the man and his work: "The first time I attended the mis sion, I went more out of curiosity than with any expectation of deriving great benefits from it. But, to my surprise, after attending the first meeting, I became so deeply interested that I not 1. mi m,- - ;5SA. d Jj.

P. GAVAX nVWt only attended that, one, but each suc ceeding one; and at the end have but one regret, that they did not continue another week. I was deeply impressed. I have gained a lasting benefit." - "Truly our faith did not reach high enough to expect the splendid results attained by the mission. How better can we thank God than by continuing the work? Let us venture for and expect a further blessing through the vision opened to us ' "A month ago probably few of us realized .the wonderful revelation of God and His truth which was to, come to us through the teaching mission. It was an experience which comes to a person but once in a lifetime, and some may never have such an oppor tunity. Surely we should te very thankful that God has sent His mes sage to us through these two men, who preach ' with such power because they have lived what they preach and know that It is true. ' The holy communion will have a new mean ing to thdse who heard them." j "To me the mission was indeed a message from God even to begin life anew. It may be compared to the Coming of a homeward-bound ship to one shipwrecked on a far island, his hopes, his trust and his chance to 'live again". Never before has the holy com munion had such a spiritual attraction, f They (the people) must have realized that the message was from God Himself." . "The mission has meant : - a clearer conception of our dear Lord, a strengthening of faith in the power of prayer, with great expectation and Ven ture; and awakened 'the' realization of the awful responsibilities we. have. His tMvine . Presence has been made very real , ; "The first thought in relation to the mission which comes to me with tre- tiendous force is responsibility. The esponsibility of having listened to such a wonderful message a message ike that of Christianity in Its pristime glory is such a terrific fact to face. Thank God the mlssioners left us the key to the situation. Let us lovingly obey our Lord and seek His grace ' where most surely it may be found, '.where He is ever present in the holy communion."- I Further announcement as to. hours of service and other general informa tion will appear during the week. LEHMAN WOOD TAKES OVER . NOVELTY AD. BUSINESS HEMENVAY PUPILS LEAD IN SALE OF CHRISTMAS SEALS Sales In 1920 Far Ahead Of Previous v Records, Mrs. Martin Reports Pupils of the Hemenway school lead all ' other public schools of the city and county in the sale of Red Cross seals during the Christmas holidays, accord ing to an official report made yesterday by Mrs. Cuthbert Martin, chairman of the local Red Cross seal committee and a member of the state Red Cross ;seal commission. A total of 36,361' seals -were sold by the boys and girls of Hemenway school. ' Miss Lillie VanLeuven, pupil of the eighth grade , in the Hemenway school, won the $5 gold piece offered .to. .the boy or girl selling the most seals. Miss VanLeuven sold 4,375 seals, twice as many as her nearest competitor. Charles Gault of the Union school won the two and a half dollars, second" prize, for selling the next largest amount, His total was 2,145 seals. Not only were the pupils of the eighth grade of the Hemenway school honored by having Miss VanLeuven win the first prize, but they received additional honors for ' giving to the local Red Cross committee a sums"uf? ficient to maintain two European war orphans. The $20, the amount neces sary for this purpose, was raised aTfibrjg the eighth grade boys and girls and presented by their teacher, Mrs. Card well, to the local Red Cross workers. Mrs. Martin, chairman - of the-' local Red Cross seal committee! stated yes terday that she has every reason to believe Wilmington in 1920 broke ths previous year's record in the sale vOf seals In 1919 there were 134,000 seals sold, but Mrs. Martin thinks when the final report is made this mark will be greatly surpassed. There were 800,000 seals sent here to be sold in 1920. Of the total amount realized for the sale of seals in New -Hanover county, 75 per cent is retained here for Cfla purpose of combating tbe White I'lague. The mojiey is applied to the fund with which is operated the Red Cross sani tarium of this county. To this in?. tution are admitted both white and colored persons, v and some wonderful work has been done there since it was established.

Mr. Hall, In discussing the meeting of t.he board of missions, stated that one of the principal mat ters coming before the meeting was the report of the committee appointed by the convention to locate the first of the Baptist hospitals to be established in North Carolina. The commitee recom mended Winston-Salem for the first hospital and this recommendation was approved by the board. The church now has on hand $100,000 to be used for this hospital, and it is understood that a similar amount and the site for the institution will be given by Winston Salem.

Resolutions were also passed, subject to the ap proval of the board o education,' au thorising all monies derived from the the police department be turned into the police treasury. It was pointed oujt in the meeting that there Is considerable discrimina tion caused by the present revenue act, in that certain dealers are required to pay license taxes that are too high as compared with the taxes charged other dealers. It was also said that there are a number of professional men in the city who are not paying these license taxes, for the reason that, un der the present revenue act, they are not required to do so.

This subject was not acted upon yesterday, and was carried over for further consideration at the next meeting of council. Council also passed a resolution re-, questing State Senator-elect K. O.
