st. Jean Baptiste Societe.

Last Thursday being st. Johns day,
the patron saint of st. Jean Societe,
was celebrated by that society here in
a very pleasant manner. In the
morning, the society, headed by the
Germania baud, paraded along the
principal streets. The members wore
their new and handsome uniforms for
the first time in public. Behind the
society was the car containing large
number of little girls and allegorical
characters representing St. John aud
Jacques Cartier. The car was neatly
decorated with evergreens, and was
arched over. After the parade was
over, the procession went to the fair
grounds, and pleasant time was en-
joyed by the many persons there.
Dancing was extensively engaged in.
Several foot races took place. The
half mile race was won by j. Paupard,
the time made being reported at two
minutes and FIVE seconds. The hun
dred yards foot race was won by
Arthur Bedard. In the evening, the
Knights of st. John marched to the
fair grounds. Before they reached

Children's Day at the Baptist
Church.

The services at the Baptist church
last Sunday evening were devoted to
the children, being designated as
"Childen's Day." and were very
pleasant. The church was filled with
the Sunday school children and their
friends, and between four and five
hundred persons were present. The
society has recently enlarged their
church nearly one half, by an addition
to one side. The recess usually &C.
cupied by the minister and choir, had
been converted into an arbor with
fountain, flowers and plants, and the
flooring was covered with moss. 1t
looked beautiful and the sound of
falling waters echoed pleasantly to
the ear, suggestive of some waterfall
in natures groves. The program con-
sisted Of music, singing, recitations,
scripture selections, ETC., and the
various parts were very we'll render
ed, and tended to make the service
one to be long and pleasantly remem-
bered.
Rev. Little, in his remarks OH the
Sunday school work of our Sunday
School Society,"" stated what the So
ciety was, its work and object. The
society occupies six story building
in Philadelphia, where the school lit.
erature is printed. 1t has an agent
in every State who looks after the
schools, organizes new ones. supplies
the needy ones with papers, etc. The
Baptist Sunday schools in the U. S.
number some 5000, have about $1,000
teachers and n million or two Of
scholars. The society was doing a
good work and should be assisted, and
the collection to be taken up was to
help in the society's work.
The contribution Of the Sunday
school, last Sunday, amounted to
s34.9O and goes to the Sunday school
society.
The number of children attending
the Baptist Sunday school last Sunday,
was 259.
The exercises of the evening were
very pleasant and much enjoyed by
the many persons present.
