CHILDREN'S SUNDAY.

The Second Sunday in June in each
year Is now usually observed by all
the Churches as "Children's Day..
The churches in Wortbington OBJ
served it this year with much interest
for the cause it represents.
At the Congregational Church the
pastor preached sermon .on the Sab
bath School, ably setting forth the
duty of the Church to instruct the
youth, and the duty Of the young to 70.
ceive that instruction..
The Westminster Presbyterian
Church was most beautifully decorat-
ed with the beauty Of flowers, and
made cheerful with the song of birds.
The Choir recess was draped with
lace curtains, and an object lesson of
bars let down that the lambs might
easily pass into the green pastures. A
shepherds crook symbolized the care Of
pastors and teachers. An exercise Of
song and scripture reading was con.
Quoted by H. NJ. Palm, assisted by the
Choir. A collection, in aid of the
Presbyterian Sunday School mission
work was taken up amounting to $lS.
The cause Of the District Sunday
School mission work organized at the
recent Heron Lake Convention, was
presented by Geo. J. Day, Il. Mcclure,
Geo. D. Dayton and Mr.. Palm, aud
pledges were made by individuals to
the amount of $3.50 in aid of that work.
This is to keep three workers con-
stantiy in the field organizing and
maintaining schools, in neighborhoods
not hitherto maintaining them. The
amount of the subscription is expected
to be enlarged by donations from some
not present.
The Methodist church was adorned
with floral garlands, and notices ex-
pressing the relation of children to the
church. A cross was built up by the
children and banners hung upon them.
The prepared exercises were led by Mr..
Frank Lewis, superintendent, and an
address made by the pastor Rev. uar.
rington.

The door of private Office was opened
and the beauty retired. She soon came
out and held a jsweled garter in her
hand. 1t was worth about $50. A little

The girl started to go. She got as far
rs the door, turned, and, blushing fiery
red, said:
III you please, have you a piece Of
string? MISUNDERSTANDING is coming
