the infant class rendered special musical
exercise. The superintendent, Mr.. G. L..
Baldwin, gave them short talk, which
was followed by an address by the rector.
Ten children were baptized. In the even

and the Childlike," and made some quite
striking illusions. "The child" said he,
''is the incarnation of an interro-
cation point. We should initiate
children, especially in trustfulness, and in
putting away childish things should not
| put away that. Children also throw them
selves into all they do. Enthusiasm is the
| very life of success, and only as we give
ourselves to Christ thus heartily can we
| enjoy his service. Children are always
hopeful. How often does life to us all
seem hopeless and sombre We should al
ways try to see the best and to expect that
the outcome will be better than the out.
