Hon. ". NJ. Wilmington. Superin-
ten4ent Of the Baptist Sunday School,
and h;5 charming wife entertained the
Baptist Sunday School teachers and
officers on the last day in the old year,
in their p~alatial home on East Market
street and all members present spent
one Of the most enjoyable evenings of
the year.
There were a goodly number of
teachers and officers present and a very
profitable meeting was held, after
which a delicious salad course was
served by Mrs. Wilmington, assisted
by her sweet little daughter, Mary. and
little Edwin Bell.
This was the best and most enthusi-
astic meeting Of the entire year and
many plans were formulated to make
the Baptist Sunday School more pro-
fcient this year than it has ever been
in the past. The most important and
comnendable step toward its improve
mcnt was the introduction of the
Graded Lessons in the Primary De-
partment and it is hoped that these
lessons may be soon introduced in other
departments OF the Sunday School.
It was unanimously decided that
weekly TEACHERS meetings of the sew
ecal departments should be held with
one meeting Of all teachers of all de
p~artrnents once month instead Of the
meetings directly after the Prayer
Meeting on Wednesday e!ening. IS has
heretofore been the case, and much
good is expected to result from new
methods of teaching and its time of
meeting.
