and Presbyterian churches of the city,
and was celebrated in a happy and appro-
pirate manner. In all instances the chill
dren were attired in the simple garments
OF summer time, while their faces ex-
pressed happiness known only to the in
nocent days of childhood.
One of the most beautiful of these cele-
brations was at the Calvary Presbyterian
church, of which the Rev. L. NJ. Boyd is
the pastor. The church here was fairy
garden hlied with rare and beautiful
flowers The morning and evening SER
vices were attended by hundreds of chill
dren who seemed excessively proud that
the church and pastor too had
set apart day for their espe-
cial benefit. The minister preached
sermon powerful in character, yet SO
simple that it was comprehended by the
youngest attendants at the service. He
took his text from the twenty-second
chapter Of Revelations. seventeenth verse.
The word i'come" was explained as full,
free and evrnest invitation by Christ to
accept the blessed privilege of the Gospel
lie looked at the question from three
points OF view-by whom the invitation
was given, to whom and when should it
be accepted. In regard to the first Jesus
himself had extended the invitation not
only to old people, but to children and to
all classes OF children. The preacher then
branched out and told his little hearers
briefly of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and
Moses. and then told them of Christ, whose
story he said was more beautiful than all
the others, and that now was the time
when all should take Christ into their
hearts and let Him abide there forever.
The evening service was still more at
tractive because the little folks took part
in ali the exercises. The following pro-

The First Presbyterian church was also
crowded with young folks at both services.
The Rev. Elliott w. Brown baptised ten
infants at the morning service. The
church was beautifully decorated. The
platform and pulpit ware transformed into
bed of roses, while festoons made up of
evergreens were hung along both walls Of
the church. Mrs. q. A. G. Rochester sang
the solos for the occasion in her usual
felicitous style and a number of the child
rem sang appropriate religious hymns.
The children sat in the front pews, each
carrying banner, and the grown folks
occupied the rear end of the church. The
Rev. Elliott w. Brown delivered an adj
dress to the children which pleased them
very much.
Not less than 300 children attended the
special service at Trinity NJ. f. church in
North Seattle yesterday morning. Here,
too, the sacred edifice had been beautifully
decorated with flowers and evergreens.
The Rev. S. Alonzo Bright was very happy
in his remarks to the young people, who
took great interest in the service given in
their especial honor.
Children's day was observed last even
ing at the Welsh church, corner Seventh
