Trinity Sunday School Celebrates its
Anniversary.
The 68th anniversary of Trinity Sunday
school was celebrated last night at Trinity
church with great eclat. Long before
o'clock the church was crowded
with members of the Sunday
school and their friends. The exer-
clses began with the professional hymn,
Marching On to Canaan" During the
sluging Of the hymn the scholars marched
into the church, carrying banners, which
they proceeded 10 present to Supt.
w hite, who placed them around the
altar. Some Of the moJtoes on the
banners were very appropriate. Among
tbem were the following: "God is Our
Refuge" "In God We Trust, Love One
Another "God is Love-" Fear God and
Keep His Cominandments,n "Cast Thy
Bread Upon the Waters" The last of these
notices was inscribed upon the Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school banner of 1922,
which was the same banner displayed last
night.
After the reading of the scriptures by
John Houston and prayer by Rev. Mr.
Reilly of the New Housi on street church
was an exercise by the infant class, with
recitation by Miss Minnie Griner, followed
by hymn. Beautiful Mansions"
Zoe exercise a1d representation of
Jacobs Ladder" was an interesting feature
The represent tiOu of a ladder resting on
the earth, symbolIzed by bank of plants,
ferns and flowers, with its top round reach
Ing up to heaven, was very realistic. On
each round of the ladder was wreathed one
OF the following words: Faith; love; hope:
peace; grace; truth; patience; Joy; glory.
Apropos Of these words descriptive lesson
was given by the following Young ladies.
Miss Merena Fulford. Miss Clyde Exley,
Miss Cora Windley, Miss Laura Baker. Miss
Agnes Griffin, Miss Edna Morgan. Miss
Jennie Mongin, Miss Clara Dixon, Miss
Susie Kent, Miss Bessie Miller,
sung by the entire school Then followed
recitation, "Annie and Willie's Prayer
10y Miss Mlllie Smith, which was wonder
derful feat of memorizing The prayer was
given verbatim, and occupied over fifteen
minutes in its delivery
Supt. White read his report, from which
it appears that the school is divided into
seventy-elght classes, with teacher for
each.
The infant class is under the
direction of Miss Beckie Booz, assisted
by Mrs. j. q. SWANSON. The mems Bible
class is in charge of John Houston and the
ladies' Bible class, of Mrs. Upper. The
other teachers are: Miss Lucy Saussy. Mrs.
Dixon, Miss Weed, Miss Landsrshine, Miss
Bennett, Miss Dorsett, Miss Swoll, Miss Hon
iker, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Muslin, Mrs. w. C.
Neidlinger. Aninteresting fact was CLEANED
from the report to the effect that the first
Sunday school established in Savannah was
about eighty-four years ago, and was a
union school, including children from
all the evangelical churches, and
it was originally in charge
of DIR. Lowell Mason. Fifteen years after
its establishment the Methodists established
a separate school, and few years later the
other churches withdrew and established
separate Sunday schools. At present there
are on the Trinity school roll AGO scholars.
After the superintendent's report several
recitatlons and hymns followed. The sing
ing was lead by w. g. Swanston.
The exercises closed with the doxology and
benediction.
