B. Bsrnitz presiding. a=-saT
The house was crowded, at least 1000 Of
an audience being in attendance. The ex-
ercises were opened by singing;
"Come thy tOunt of every blessing" SO.
Rev. D. Carver of Greensbmrg, led the
prayer, closing with the Lords PRAYER, in
which the audience audibly united. Rev.
II. w. Roth of Pittsburgh, then spoke to
the children, showing that inethe great let.
ter which our Father in Heaven has ad-
dressed to men, He has something for the
children. On Sinai. after specifying mans
duty to God, the next word is to the chill

forbid them not, for of such is the King.
dom of Heaven" The Holy Spirit says,
"Childreu, obey your parents in the Lord,
for this is right" Thus God the Father,
God the Son, and God tho Holy Ghost,
unite in their calls to the children. They
occupy high place in the mind of Gcd.
Jesus said to Peter, "Feed my lambs. ~
He is the good shepherd. The children are
the lambs of the flock. For their support
the good shepherd makes a provision.-
Upon the church, He lays the duty of car.
ing for them. We recognize them as mem.
bers of His church, in covenant union with
Him. He lays duty uponnEKem. They
have obligations which must be met.
Hence this meeting. Hence these efforts

sung, when Rev. Barnitz introduced Bish

The Bishop then spoke:

You all know the words, "Belieye i,

many could not answer it. Suppose v,
say ii is trust. Now, for children, thi,
seems easier than for many grown people
They can trust and do trust at an 40,
when many scarce believe it possible.
