Children's Day in Dawson

Hundreds of Sabbath schools
throughout the United States were
engaged last Sabbath in the
celebration of this day, which has
already become an important fac
tor in the missionary work of our
churches, thousands of dollars be-
ing now annually raised in this
way and applied to the dis
tribution of Sabbath-school litera-
ture and to tae building up of
Sabbath-schools in the destitute
places of our land.
In accordance with the pro-
gramme published last week the
day was celebrated in very in
teresting and becoming manner
by the Baptist Sabbath-school of
this place. The little Willing
Workers." numbering about forty
children, under the direction Of
Mrs. b. I'll. Hood, were engaged
In the exercises, all of whom
seemed fully to understand the
Importance of the occasion and
to throw their whole souls into
the beautiful songs and appropri
ate recitations which had been
assigned them. Towards the
close the object of the exercises
was briefly stated by DR.. j. G.
Dean, after which about dozen
little girls, with baskets in hand,
gave AL an opportunity to throw
a dime into the missionary box"
resulting in the raising of very
nice sum. The exercises were
quite pleasant throughout and
highly enjoyed by the large crowd
present. To the jealous efforts
Of Mrs. Hood and the Little Will
ling Workers" all are indebted
for the pleasure of the occasion.
