SUNDAY SCHOOL CoScERr.-The con-
cert given Mt the Methodist Episcopal
Church las, evening, for the purpose OF
raising funds to buy u library, was a
complete success. There was n highly
appreciative audience present, who
went to be pleased, and were bound to
be pleased under any circumstances.
The programme consisted entirely OF
children's Rotations and songs, and
the little folks acquitted themselves
splendidly, winning u~ubounded APP
plause from their elders, who seemed
to enjoy the occasion with their whole
hearts. The concert commenced with
the long "Tbe Sunday School Army"
by four little girls, the audience joining
in the chorus in the good old. fashioned
way then followed u very pretty reci-
tation Of the " Lords Prayer by Miss
Lucy Wolston I; after which, some Is or
90 bright.eyed little children contribu-
ted their portion Of the exercises, most
Of them going through. their parts
bravely. The programme was nicely
arranged, giving pleasing variety
throughout. One of the pret,iest fea-
lures of the entertainment was the
singing of the two little Cross sisters of
Daytcu-beautiful, c~urly-headed little
warblers, with wonderfully sweet and
powerful voices. They sang 1.-The
Sisters" I" Childhood's Happy Hour"
and, by request, finished with " Cham
payne Charley" in n truly original and
comical style, taking the hearts OF all
their hearers BY storm. The entertain
ment concluded with \ very pretty song
by Lolita McDermot. We believe there
was in the vicinity Of $50 or $50
realized last evening, and rs the library
will cost somo $3.50, owing to the sue
cess of this concert, there will be
another in Ave or six weeks, when il
is to be hoped there will be a still larger
audience, to assist in the fulfllment OF
this laudable design.
