The concert at the Baptist Church on
Sunday evening last, was enjoyed by a
large number, 1t was in the interest of
the Sunday school work, in destitute re
gions of the country, where large num-
Der of schools are being organized and
assisted from year to year. The flowers
and other decorations were tastefully
arranged. Upon the wall in the rear of
the desk, in graceful arch with large
artistic letters, was the words. Child
ren's day." Much pains had been de-
voted to the singing and music, and the
exercise which required the assistance of
seven little misses, and resulted in bring
ing out the word "Welcome," in letters
upon their breasts, as they stood upon
the platform, was exceeding well ar
ranged and carried out. The dialogue
by five young lads, by which they all
became interested in the cause of mis-
sions, gave much satisfaction, as well as
presented strong arguments in favor of
such good work. A generous contribu-
tion was taken in behalf of the work,
and the audience dispersed, with best
wishes for the interest of the school now
under the superintendency of such eff.
Gent officers.
"Childrcn's day" was observed at the
Congregational Church in the morning.
A sermon to the children was given by
the Rev. Mr.. Peck, from the text, Prov.
xxx, 20, THE comics are but a feeble
folk yet make their houses in the rocks
Flowers had been literally provided and
the singing of birds which were sus
pended in the church, made it joyful
occasion for all, as the many lessons
were unfolded with reference to the
needs and ligious training Of children
and youth. The regular contribution
for the Sunday School and Publishing
Society, was understood to go in aid of
those suffering from the great disaster
at Johnstown and its vicinity.
The opening of "Green Box Banks"
will take place in the Congregational
Church next Sabbath evening. 1t will
be in the line of a missionary concert,
with singing and music, resitations and
remarks by the pastor AMI members of
the Sabbath school. These banks have
been for years an inspiration to the
school, in the way Of systematic giving,
and the opening will interest all who
have the work of missions at heart. All
are invited.
There will be "Rose Tea" social at
the Baptist Church parlors under the di-
rection of the Mission Band, Tuesday
evening, June 18th, and if the evening
should be favorable it is proposed to
have a lawn party in connection there
with. This is doubtful unless there
should be a change in the weather.
