place OF Their celebration. Before reaching the
ground, the pupils Of the Benevolent School of
st PauIs Church, BIZ invitation. which had
been previously communicated to them, Joined
IN the PROCESSION to participate in the enjoy
ments OF the occasion. At the head of the line
we noticed rich ana significant new banner
equal TO any Sunday School banner we have
ever seen; II was composed CT fine white satin,
with heavy gold fringe, tassCls and cords; the
motto and device were more than we'll execut-
ed, and most admirably selected; there vas the
lion and the lamb, thea the little child with
the words, ''the lion and the lamb shall lie
down together, and little child shall lead
{ Them On the opposite side, in ''lctlers Of
gold, stood the words, Emory Chapel sun
day School formed in 1885," Along the line
there were three other burners, and in the rear
fine large engraving % the Declaration of
Independence. Arriving at the ground the
banners were so arranged as 10 decorate the
stand. Some time was given for recreation.
then all were summoned to the stand, and
many voices sang most meloGi0uslY the COM
mencement hymn, 80 Tor a thoufand tongues, y
&c, after which the minister of the station led
ii prayer then he Sunday School sang a
hymn selected fol the occasion, accompanying
Mr.. Hoover, their leader; succeeded bya hvmn
by the Benevolent school. The Declaration
OF Independence was, then read in an audi
bic and impressive tone by Mr.. n. T. fiatch;
then hymns by the Sunday School, and others
OF judclous choice by the Benevolent school,;
then declaration on temperance by Master
trink; singing by the scholars; a dialogue on
the doctrine OF the resurrection of Christ from
the dead, by Misses c. and A. Hatch; singing
by both schools; then an address by Rev. Mr.
Veltch on "the day we celebrate" The CON-
pany were then dismissed for dinner, which
by no means was taken unkindIg. The COM
mittee, Mcssrs. Hoffman, Switzer and Hiser,
gave evidence, by the superintendent stores
which they had laid in, that they knew
well how to "feed the hungry" ham, beef,
pastry and confectionery, being introduced in
proper form and IN right order were highly
complimented and most gratefully eaten. Be-
sides this ample arrangement of the committee,
several patr )ns of the school spread out lastly
and ton,Ptingly their portable preparations for
the day, TO which they allowed the freest ac-
cess, and all was real good cheer. At the pro-
per time, all assembled again al the stand the
exercises were-snging by the Sunday school;
singing by the Be levolent school, speech by
Master Tucker; snging by both schools; an
original dialogue on Sunday schools, by Mas
tiers Payne and alters, in which cordial in
vitatlon was extended to the audience to at
tend the Anniversary Of the Emory Sunday
School Society in the evening, at the Chapel;
singing by the schools concluded the exercises
when it was requested that preparations
should be made to return to the city. The
pastor, in all appropriate manner, referred to
the beautiful banner which, by the goodness Of
the ladies', had this day been made the property
OF the school; after which the school passed an
unanimous vote Of thanks to Mrs. LeveTng,
for the use of Tie ground. The doxoIogy being
sung, and prayer offered, the procession moved
of, cheertulIy and happily, towards home
Near the gates of the enclosure, and Just as
the Emory school parted with their neatly-clad
and we'll -dlsciplined guests Of the Benevolent
school, the former sang "When shall we all
meet again." &c, and proceeded down Madi-
son st. to Biddle, and thence to the Chapel,
where, being served again to confectionery, the
marshals dismissed them with kind words.
