zS-Thc Importance Of having the entire Re-
publican vote registered cannot be too earnestly
impressed upon the members of the Republican
party. We have frequently alluded to II in the
columns Of TnE UNIoS aud we have thrown out
suggestions as TO the best way to accomplish it,
Every Republican should feel it incumbent upon
him TO get registered himself and TO do all in his
power TO see the work Of registration efficiently
and successfully done In his immediate ncghbor-
hood, and Of calling the attention Of his friends
all over the county to the necessity Of a prompt
and early registration. Let no wrangling. jeal-
ousy fac;iona strife prevent the registering of
any member Of the party. Al the voters We can
get registered will be needed to present a success
full front agains; the common enemy. The fret
sitting Of the registers will last only FIVE days
II will be on the Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday Of the second week in July.
In view Of the very short time allowed for regis
tering, We would advise as many Of our Republi-
can friends possibly to get registered at the
first sitting. BY doing so you will avoid the rush
Of the last days. and enjoy the consciousness Of
having discharged your first political duty under
existing circumstances. lie, there be no such word
as fail heard within the camp of the Republican
party after the close Of the last day of registration

cHILpREN's DAY IN THE METHODIST
CHURCHES.

The object for which "Childrcn's Day" has
been appointed 10 the Methodist Episcopal church
may not be generally understood. Its we'll known
that this large and influential body Of Christians
has made the fostering and encouragement Of ed
ucation one Of It's cardinal principles. Its Sunday
schools are perhaps the most largely attended and
efficiently conducted of any connected with the
churches Of any Christian denomination. While
this is the case yet the Importance Of rendering
special aid and encouragement TO aspiring youths
who were unable unassistod to crafty their intel
iectual longngs, produced a profound impression
on the minds Of the leading ministers and laymen
Of the church, and they Sc, abOu, dsvising plan
for Its accomplishment. This produced the con-
vietion from which sprang ChiIdren's Day.
II was established In 1900 when the church eel
ebratcd the centennial Of American Mc,hodism.--
During the celebration discussion occurred about
the church doing something to assis, In giving an
advanced Christian education TO those Sunday
school scholars who aricntly thirstei for higher
attachments In Christian knowledge and culture,
hut who were destitute Of the pecuniary means for
satisfying IT, Arrangements were made TO have
collections taken up in all the Methodist churches
once every year for supplying this want. and the
second Sunday in June has been selected for this
purpose. Special exercises by tho children Of the
Sunday schools. consisting Of singing, reading. &c.
constitute the principal feature Of the day. The
first collection made In 1880 amounted to more
than $4,000. and few years afterwards /, cx.
ceeded 100000. In 1874 assistance was furnish
cd to ove- 500 students distributed among 10 diff
