Dumbarton Avenue Church to Introduce In
dividual Chahoes at Communion.
The Second Methodist Church in This
Conference to Adopt the Prac-
tfce-Other Items.

An innovation in the District Methodist
churches will be introduced here on next
communion Sunday. The new feature will
consist of the use Of individual chalices at
the communion service, instead of the one
large silver goblet that has heretofore been
exclusively used.
Dumbarton is the second church in the
whole Baltimore conference to adopt the
individual cups.
The service, which has already arrived
from Rochester, N. Y, is made up of five
mahogany trays, about eleven inches In
diameter, and twelve and half dozen OF
small, plain but fine imported glasses.
There will be thirty glasses to the tray.
The first church in the Baltimore confer
ence to use the individual service was
Grace of Baltimore. There it was intro
duced only about one week ago. The adop-
ton of the cups by the church was made
through it's official board. The substitution
of individual cups for the one now used by
is commended on the grounds of health and
propriety.
Revival services will be begun at the
Dumbarton Avenue Church next Sunday
evening. 1t is expected that they will con-
tinue for three weeks and even longer.
The interest manifested will govern their
duration. The arrangements already made
provide for three weeks of services Metho-
preside. On Saturday evening there will be
no service.
The literary circle of the Dumbarton
Church will hold it's meeting tonight at
$50, instead of 3 o'clock, SO as not to inter-
fere with the attendance at the united
prayer services.
On Friday next the meeting of the Sunday
school board, for the purpose of electing
officers of the school, will be held.
