was appropriately observed at both the Con-
gregational and Methodist churches with
decorations of flowers and exercises for the
children. This day has come to be observed
by the Sunday-schools throughout our land
as day especially designed to interest the
children and instruct them in the wonder
full works and beauties of nature, and espe-
cially the wonderful love and care of God
for and over all. And to the older ones it
is no less teacher and a reminder of all
blessings that are bestowed upon us. -
