CH4LDREN's FESTIVAL

In the St. John Street M. E. Church.
 As early as o'clock last evening the children connected with the St. John street M. E. church were gathered to enjoy their annual supper and festival and a right merry time they had.

The primary division numbering about fifty led the van under the charge of Mrs. Preston. Then came the older scholars in charge of their respective teach CTS, followed by the adult Bible classes, the pastor and his estimable lady bringing up the rear. After marching and counter marching around the spacious lecture room several times singing the inspiriting song Onward, Christian Soldiers,'' they were seated at the tables. For the space of half an hour the full board of officers and teachers were kept fully employed in supplying the demands for ''more." Super intendent Camp then rang the bell and com menced the programme of speeches, singing, reeitations, readings, &e. Midway of this Camp requested the scholars to repeat after him in unison, which they did. ssMr. and Mrs. Wyatt we wish you happy New Year, J which they did with great glee. In response the pastor recited a beautiful poem which was received with demonstrations of delight. permitted to indulge in ''Going to Jerusa- lem, ''Drop the Handkerchief " and other innocent games.
