Arrangements are being made to appro-
priately celebrate the centennial of Method
ism on Cecil Circuit. This circuit was or
ganized in 1888 and at that time embraced
all of Cecil county, including Strasburg in
Penn, all of New Castle county, except
Wilmington and the territory immediately
north of that city Sassafras in Kent county,
Md, and Thoroughfare Neck in Del. New
ark, Del, retained place on Cecil Circuit
until the name of Cecil disappeared from the
annual conference minutes. The accessibility
and central position of Newark would indi
cate this as being the proper place for hold
ing the service. The third Sunday and
Monday of November will in all probability
be the time for the meeting.
