THE FESTIVAL OF HcLY INNOCENCE The
Episcopal church was crowded on Sunday
evening, it being Holy Innosence day, and
devoted to the children of the parish. The
services consisted of some musical exercises

of the holiday celebrated, after which carols
were sung and the gifts Of the ladies of the
parish to the children were distributed The
Rector in the course of his remarks alluded to
the fact that the children who did not attend
the Sunday School very regularly during the

Christmas that they laight hsv. claim ON the
