The Children's Bible Day at the
Baptist Church.

Notwithstanding the gloomy day and
threatening weather, good congregation
assembled in the Baptist Church on Sun
day last, at 3 p. m, to see and take part in
the services of the Children's Bible Day.
The services consisted of suitable songs,
prayer, responsive Bible reading, and reel
tations.
Miss Emma Atkinson presided at the
organ, and charmed every one by the skill
and taste with which she played She was
assisted by good choir, besides the con-
gregatlon joined in the singing quite
heartily. The recitations were, first, The
Bible ;" short verses were recited by Mas
tiers Sammie Perry, Griffith Bailey, and
| Misses Lula Bailey, Ella Hawkins, Myrtle
Chiles and Olive Sproles.
Then came n recitation on the linear
nate Word" by Miss Emma Peatross.
| After this, four poems, written for this
occasion, were recited by Masters Ethel
Drake and Willie Campbell and Misses
| Lila Chiles and Dolly Cranberry. 1.-THE
Christian Soldier and his Weapon" was
| finely rendered by Master George Wofford
who was followed by Masters Percy Hill
