Easter Services.

The Juvenile Missionary Society held
most interesting Easter service IN the
Methodist Church last Sunday afternoon,
at 5 o'clock, and a very large congrega.
ton was present to witness the exercises.
The little ones had looked forward to
the occasion with the most pleasant antic-
ipations, and had thoroughly prepared
themselves for the exercises. The ever.
green and floral decorations in and around
the rostrum were most beautiful, and
were e1quisitely arranged.
Our venerable" friend, w. r. Osborne,
the President of the Society, presided over
the meeting.
The program was as follows:
Voluntary-"Work for Jesus" sung by
the children. :.
Hymn-"We come with happy song"
Prayer-by Rev. G. B. Smith.
Easter Greeting-by Willie Holland.
Recitation-"Ring Happy Bells" by
Waller Nardin.
Hymn-"Beautiful Morning.
Recitation-"Through the Night" by
Elma Osborne.
Hymn-"Go tell the joyful story"
At this juncture Rev. G. 3. Smith read a
circular letter from the Board of Managers
of the Scarritt Bible and Training School,
explaining it's object and asking for con-
| trib;itions: He stated that these services
had been gotten up for the purpose OF
| making an offering to the school, and that
a collection would be taken st the conclu..
sion of the program, which was continued
as follows:
Hymn-"open the door for the chill
| dren."
Recltation-''That Christ was the Son of
God," by Della Wright, Mary Lewis, Pau
line Andrew, Rosa Payne, Eunice Hill,
Lois Hill, Gertrude Jones, Bertha Reese,
Minnie Payne, Jennie Todd, Lucia Muir
| ply and Junius Browne, each of whom
had one of the letters THE SON OF GOD
cut from cardboard and fastened upon the
waist of the dress.
The exercises were then concluded with
an Easter Song, followed by the doxology
and benediction.
The little folks did exceedingly we'll in
rendering the program, which was highly
enjoyed by the large congregation. The
collection amounted to $4,000.
This Society is the Banner Juvenile
Missionary Society in the State Conference
and is doing good work In the mission
ary cause. Last year its contributions
amounted to moro than one hundred dol
lars, and this year the members propose to
20 ahead of that.
