GOOD Reports.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal
DOVER, May 1.-THE first session Of
the Delaware Baptist Union was hello
this afternoon in the Baptist Church.
There was large crowd of ministers and
laylnen present.
The devotional exercises began at 2.3C
o'clock, led by the Rev. w. r. Patton.
His scriptural lesson was Romans VIII.
The Rev. John Miller, pastor of the
church here, led in prayer. The exer.
cises consisted of singing, praying and
Christian experiences.
AT o'clock the Rev. j. w. T. Boothe
DID,, pastor of Delaware Avenue Church,
Wilmington, preached the Introductory
sermon taking his text from Acts II. Re.
ports from the churches throughout the
State were then called for and all re.
sponded, with one or two exceptions
caused by the absence of pastors. Those
present stated that their churches are in a
healthy condition, and constantly on the
increase in membership. Their schools
are also growing.
Rev. H. Il. Wayland, ID. D., delivered an
uuuIthb VI our Inree Great DOc1eI1eS.'
At 7.30 praise service was held. The
choir sang q beautiful selection. The
new organ is not only an ornament to
the church, but its tones are sweet.
The Rev. Wayland Hoyt, D. D., of
Philadelphia, preached an able sermon
from Matthew XXI, 49, go work to-day
in my vineyard"
There are about rs ministers and lay
men here. More are expected. At noon
well-flled tables were spread in the base
ment of the church, where the visitors
ate their dinners. Private individuals
will lodge the delegates at their homes.
Several of the ministers wives accom-
panied them.
The Baptists have now church which
they feel proud of. For beauty and con-
yenience it cannot be excelled south of
Wilmington. The substitution of chairs
in place of benches is great improve
ment.
The Rev. Mr.. Miller this afternoon
before the union, eulogized the teachers
of the church, for through them the
church has been thus improved.
The union will be in session until to-
morrow evening
