RODNEY STREET CHAPEL-ANNI-
VERSARY.
The eleventh anniversary of the Rodney
Street - formerly McDowellvllle - Sabbath
School, connected with the Central Presby-
terian Church, took place on last Sunday
afternoon.
An unusually warm day greeted the chill
dren, but that in nowise Abated their inter
est or thinned the general attendance on this
interesting OCCASION The house was well
filled with smiling, happy faces. The chill
dren performed their part OF the exercises
with peculiar satisfaction and showed that
they were mostly apt scholars under the
guidance and care OF their earnest, faithful
teachers.
The school was organized by the young
men Of the Central Church eleven years ago,
and although compelled to change its local
ity twice, II is at present very prosperous,
in Chapel nearly new, and with corps
OF teachers whose zeal is manifest In their
constancy alike during the heat Of summer
or cold of winter.
! We have not the report of the Superin-
| teDdent at hand therefore we are unable to
give the number of scholars and teachers
connected with the school, but judging from
the attendance then present, the number OF
each must be gratifyingly large.
Addresses were delivered by the pastor,
|
Mr.. Shaw's style was peculiarly adapted to
children and his remarks were not only well
pleasing to them, but instructive also.
This, with the capital singing Of the sch0l-
ars made the occasion one of especial plea.
sure to all who were present.
