ChlIdren's Day il she Churches.

Yesterday was q bright day with
the Sabbath School and the congre.
cation of Wesley Chapel Church. It
being Children's Day, the entire SER
vices OF the day were given TO this
very important interest. Fair hands
had made the church look beautiful
with evergreens and flowers. The
services of the morning consisted of q
sermon by the pastor, and some very
choice and beautiful singing by the
school. The pastor Rev. w. G.. Her
bert, preached from Isaiah 81, 13,
"And all thy children shall be taught
of the Lord, and great shall be the
peace of thy children" lie said,
Isaiah has we'll heen called the
Evangelical Prophet More than
any other old testament writer, he
was favored with view of the com
ing glory of the Gospel Dispensation.
The eliminating glory of bis king
dom was to be in the fact announced
in the text "All thy children shall
be taught Of the Lord. ]" The prophecy
has not as yet been literally full
filed, but is certainly nearer q reali-
zation than ever before. And the In
terest will neither diminish or decline,
but will continue to increase until
the vision Of Isaiah shall be fully
realized. The thoughts discussed by
the speaker. Were: First The
character of the knowledge to be
impaired to the child; Secondly,
How is this to be done? and Thirdly,
The results of such teaching. These
several points were discussed at some
length, and the entire discourse was
very attentiyely listened to by The
large congregation present. The child
rem of the school occupied the seats
Immediately in front of the pulpit.
The afternoon exercises were taken
up by the Monthly Missionary Meet
ing. Prof. w. w, Davis, of St.
Johns College, delivered very in
teresting address, which was greatly
appreciated by the audience. The
night services were entirely in the
hands of the school, and consisted of
a regular programme prepared by the
Board of Education of the church,
with the addition Of some choice
readings by different members of the
School. Thus has another children's
day been enjoyed by this school in
a manner that cannot but have ben
eficial effect on the hearts and lives Of
the children.
CHILDREN's DAY IN THE PREsBY-
TERRAIN CHURCH.
The General Assembly ofthe Pres.
byterian Church having appointed
the second sabbath of June as Child
ren's day in all the churches under
its care, the services both morning
and evening in the Church of this
city, had a special reference to the
young. "The interest of parents and
children in the subject of religion .
was the subject of the sermon In the
morning, in which it was shown that
parents, above all others, should be
concerned about the religious opin.
ions and training of their children.
and that the children should not be
unmindful of the counsel and exam.

"The Attentive Ear" was the sub
ject Of the sermon at night, in which
the pastor showed the different wavs |
IN which God speaks to us, the inn |
portance Of listening to his words. |
and how it may effect the youngest |
and even those who have wandered |
far from God. The illustrations TAX |
en- from the lives OF such men as
Guizot, Heine, Finley, Barrows and |
others, showed the value Of early |
training, and how its remembrance |
late in life may lead the wanderer |
back to God.
