Children,a Sunday.

Interesting Exercises at the George
 Street M. Es Church.
 Yesterday was observed at the George street M. E. church as Children's Sunday One Sunday in each year in the month Of June is set aside by the Methodist Episcopal church for this purpose, and on these occa- sions collections are taken for the benefit of the church educational fund, the interest of which is devoted to the education of children of the church who are not able to complete their studies without pecuniary assistance.
 The church yesterday was very handsome Iy decorated with flags and flowers, the preacher's platform being profusely adorn- ed with bouquets and crosses of roses and other June flowers. In the morning the pastor, Rev. c. B. Ford,
 preached an appropriate sermon to the evening service the school participated and sang several songs that were we'll rem dered The pastor also delivered an inter- esting address in the evening in which he gave history of the origin of the educa- tional fund, which he said originated in 1866, the centenary of American Methodism. The donations to the fund in that year reached $7O,O 900 and 8 few years later it reached S1OO, 900. Since that time the fund has con- tinued to increase gradually and hundreds Of the children of the church had received aid therefrom. Only the interest of the fund is used and no person can receive over $500 from the fund, and this amount or any amount that he receives he agrees to return without interest to the society within two years after completing his or her studies. In conclusion the preacher said that the chil- dren of to day were soon to control the des- tinies of the Church and nation. and it was the duty of the Church to see that they were educated for the work before them. On the conclusion of the pastors remarks coLlec- tion was taken for the educational fund, which was apparently a liberal one.
