Observation-Disclosures

FLORAL SUNDAY AT NJ. E. CHU RCH
The first Sunday of June is always the
most interesting and pleasant Of the year
at the VI. Z. Church, to old as well as
young. but the services this year were un-
usually attractive The morning was d
perfect one. Sky and earth were robed in
splendor The windows Of the handsome
auditorium were thrown open, admitting
the mellow sunlight At the front of the
choir was a large arch, supported by
smaller arches on either side, covered by
pine and cut flowers. The platform was
adorned with pot flowers and various de
signs of cut flowers. the chandeliers trim
med with flowers, and in the open win
dows swinging baskets of flowers and
cages of canary birds. The designs and
arrangement of cut flowers were the work
of Miss Lizzie Mellor (of the Green House,
and Mrs. James MellOr.
The services were meant mainly for the
children, but were attractive to all ages.
The little folks occupied the front pews,
and the room was closely packed with
children and grown people.
Hon. A. T. McKelvey, Superintendent
of the Sabbath School, conducted the ex-
ercises, which were opened with a volun-
tary from the choir.
Rev. Dr. Hollingshead addressed the
children and their friends, taking for his
text the words And the flowers appear
ed from the Songs of Solomon. The
speaker adroitly kept the attention of the
children, and delighted the adults of the
assemblage. His address sparkled with
beauty, and bubbled with the love of Ma
ture. 1t is rare, indeed, one has the Op-
portunity to hear public speaker who
clothes his thoughts in such beautiful
language. Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toll not, neither do
they spin: And yet l say unto you that
even solomon in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one of these" How appropri-
ate and how beautiful the application of
these words-in what glowing imagery
the flowers were painted, the perfection
of Nature illustrated, and how in har-
mOny with the words of the preacher the
songs of the birds and the breath of the
flowers. The people were taught high
er love Of Nature; and closing how ten
derly and lovingly they were pointed to
Christ. Surely not an individual in the
great congregation but felt better from
having been there.
After the address the baptism of chill
dren was attended to, and there was more
music. Familiar Sunday School songs
were sung, in which very many of the
congregation heartily joined.
In the evening the exercises were con-
Quoted wholly by the Sunday School, and
consisted of reeitations, and the like, in
tersperSed with music.
