by singing several Joyous pieces, in
which the little folks formed the prin-
cipal volume Of music. Miss Trego
offered prayer, in which she had the
little ones Join, then the children sang
BLESSED Assurance"
One Of the good features OF Mrs. Ire
COS work among the children is the re-
vival OF that old custom Of committing
to memory verses of the Bible. The
lesson assigned tor the day was the
hunting up and committing of verses
containing the word blessed" and the
little folks responded freely with many
OF these verses, and Mrs. Trego made
these the basis OF an instructive talk to
them.
Presiding Elder Mick gave instructive
directions, and DR.. Riker followed in
talk about the conversion of children.
The DOCTORS practical and sensible way
OF making religious truths understood
by children is certainly commendable.
The pentecostal service was conduct
ed by DR.. Riker in his usual forcible
and effective style.
The numbers at the young peoples
meeting and the interest in them show
the strong religious interest OF this lit
tie community.
The pleasant evening brought out a
large number to the song service held
daily Just before the beginning of the
lecture by DR.. Banks. Mr.. Davis sang
a beautiful solo at the opening and the
audience Joined in singing "All Hal"
from the canvas.
The first pictureshown for DR.. Banks's
talk was beautiful view Of "Christ
blessing little children" and the doctor
spoke OF the Importance of the early
conversion of children. "Christ as the
Good Shepherd" was another fine and
instructive picture. The music and
words OF "Rescne the Perishing" ap-
pearing on the canvas was sung by the
audience. The third view was Mary
Magdalen washing the feet of Jesus.
On presentation OF the erich Young
Man" DR.. Banks urged the people to
give their whole heart, powers and
riches to God.
The dissolving and changing views
representing mo cross, no crown" was
grand, and the low sound Of singing
added to the solemn feelings inspired.

blessed time to two souls the night
before, was held last evening by Rev.
+. N. Lynch.
