An innovation much appreciated by the men who were present at the service of the Wilmette Baptist church in the Woman's club building Sunday night was introduced by Rev. B. Frank Taber, the pastor, who announced that all men who felt it would add to their comfort might have the privilege of removing their coats. Nearly every man in the congregation accepted the invitation with alacrity, and it is safe to say enjoyed the pastor's sermon all the more for so doing. Mr. Taber says that "keep cool" will be the rule at his services during the summer. This is the first church in Wilmette in which the "coatless man" has been welcomed.
