sARREL-TAPPING AT THE BAPTIST
CHURCH.

Looks funny! But the barrels were of
pottery and held about pint and had
slot in the top. The tapping was by
hammer in the hands of skilled performers.
The children have been dropping pennies
in the slot for year or so, and only saw
them again last Wednesday evening when
the contents of the barrels aggregated about
Sl3. Preceding the barrel-music came a
procession OF the children, who in verse or
prose recited their varied experiences in
making their nickels grow by careful buy
ing and selling, and divers other ways.
About s. was realized in this way, making
nearly $50 as the result Of the labor and
sacrifice OF few of the children IN the
Baptist Junior Endeavor society.
