REFLECTION

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! (Francis Scott Key, 1814)

Let us worship Almighty God, whose purposes are good.

We are here to worship God, whose power sustains the world he has made, who loves us, though we have failed in his service.

We give thanks to God, who gave Jesus Christ for the life of the world; who by his Holy Spirit leads us in his way.

With grateful hearts, we remember those who have lived and died in his service and in the service of others.

We pray for all who suffer through war and are in need.

We ask for God’s help and blessing that we may do God’s will.

PRAYER OF THE DAY Almighty God, before whom stand the living and the dead, we your children, whose mortal life is but a hand’s breadth, give thanks to you:

For all those through whom you have blessed our pilgrimage, whose lives that have empowered us, whose influence is a healing grace,

We lift up thankful hearts.

For those who sacrificed themselves, our brothers and sisters who have given their lives for the sake of others …

We lift up thankful hearts.

Amen.

*HYMN This Is My Song UMH#437

OLD TESTAMENT READING Joshua 4:4-7 James Hanby, Sr.

4 Then Joshua summoned the twelve men from the Israelites, whom he had appointed, one from each tribe. 5 Joshua said to them, “Pass on before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, one for each of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 so that this may be a sign among you. When your children ask in time to come, ‘What do those stones mean to you?’ 7 then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off in front of the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the Israelites a memorial forever.”

*PSALTER Psalm 116 UMH#837 (R part sung by cantor)

*GOSPEL READING John 17:1-11 Cathie McCloskey

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed. 6 “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; 8 for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

Reader: This is the Word of God. People: Thanks be to God.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH UMH#881 I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;

William Mayne 2 Apr 1832 – 29 May 1921. Sgt., Co. D, 5th Delaware Infantry & Co. A, 7th Delaware Infantry. William was born in Devon, England to Theophilus Mayne and Martha Metherell. He came to this country in the early 1840s and settled into farming around the area of the Kennett Pike near the DuPont Mills and Greenhill Presbyterian Church served by the old Henry Clay Post Office. He had a younger brother, Thomas, and sister, Priscilla. On 1 December 1862, at the age of 28, he enlisted as a Sergeant with Co. D, 5th Delaware Infantry in Brandywine Hundred for 9 months. The 5th Delaware during this period provided guard duty at Fort Delaware and protection of the railroad from Perryville to Baltimore. From 1 July 1863 to his muster out on 12 August 1863, he was on unknown detached service from the regiment. This may have been Provost duty. William settled back into farming and then on 10 July 1864 enlisted and mustered in as a Sergeant with Company A, 7th Delaware Infantry for 30 days. The regiment provided guard duty on the railroad at Havre de Grace, Oconowingo Bridge, for his first few days and then on 16 July moved to Baltimore, MD for duty in the defenses of the city until 12 August when the regiment mustered out. After his last service, he married Rebecca Ann Quigley from Bethel, Delaware. In 1860, she was a domestic at the Joshua Pyle farm built in 1840 and located on the west side of Foulk Road three tenths of a mile from the Pennsylvania line By 1870, William and Rebecca took up farming in Christiana Hundred near the area of the Irene DuPont house on Kennett Pike near Snuff Mill Road. Their first child, Lillie, born in August 1865 was followed by Harry (11 Oct ’69), and followed by six more children. William stayed on the farm until 1894 when he moved to Wilmington to work as a salesman for John F. McLaughlin, a dealer in agricultural Implements (McCormick & Buckeye light steel binders & mowers) who were located on SE corner of Front & Shipley Sts. He remained at 1107 DuPont St. where he died on 29 May 1921 with is son Leonard and his wife Laura and daughter living with him at the time. Rebecca, his wife, lived in the same home and died at the age of 90 in 1928, living with her two sons, William and James.

A MEMORIAL TRIBUTE TO REAR ADMIRAL SAMUEL FRANCIS DU PONT

Pipe Salute Mr. George K. McDowell, Crew Member USS LEHIGH Civil Wear Navy Re-enactment and Living History Group

Proclamation Mr. Richard Kiger, Lay Leader Mt. Salem United Methodist Church

Mr. Bruce W. Tucker, Unit Commander USS LEHIGH Civil Wear Navy Re-enactment and Living History Group (Presenting “Admiral David G. Farragut”)

Samuel Francis Du Pont began his naval career in 1815 when, at age twelve, President James Madison appointed him a midshipman in the United States Navy. Promoted to lieutenant in 1826, Commander in 1842, Captain in 1855, and the newly created rank of Rear Admiral in 1862, he was among the leaders who organized the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1845. Admiral Du Pont distinguished himself during the Mexican War, commanding the Gulf of California blockade force. In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln declared a naval blockade of the southern states. Samuel Du Pont chaired the committee laying out the blockade strategy and then took command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron Fleet of fifty ships, enforcing the blockade off South Carolina, Georgia, and the Atlantic coast of Florida. To recognize Admiral Du Pont’s service, in 1882, Congress commissioned this statue (sculpted by renowned artist Launt Thompson) and placed it in the Du Pont Circle in Washington, D.C. The statue was re-erected here in Rockford Park in 1920.

(All) Today we remember Admiral Du Pont and we honor his fifty years of distinguished service to our Country.

Closing Prayer Chaplain Kenneth Brandt

(One) Often, when a soldier felt that he was in the final moments of his life he would pray Psalm 23. In memory of those who died serving our Country, let us together recite this psalm as a prayer.

(All) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Amen.

Final Remarks Mr. A. Kendall Chew, PDC, PCC, Secretary Appomattox Camp, No. 2, The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
