Children's June Song.

Little ones, let us be happy together
In this beautiful world of ours!
Let US be glad In this sweet June weather,
With the birds and the breezes and flowers,
With the grass and the earth, with the sky
and the sun
Let US be glad in the summer begun!
There are praises rising, and prayers are
springing
From spirits and bodies today.
Harkl Faith with chant and carol Is wing
ing
Her flight up the heavenly way.
Let thought unto thought with the sweetness
ringl
Little ones, open your hearts and sing!
For loving life breathes fragrance dearer
To God than the breath of a rose,
And the song of the soul has a melody clearer
Than the lark or the linnet knows.
And ever he leans from the silence dim
And waits for the music you make to him.
Little ones, let us be part of the story
OF Joy that the world has to tell!
Let us bloom In the beauty and sing Of the
glory
OF God, who has loved us SO we'll!
Let us give him ourselves, for to him we be-
long
Each life be his blossom, each soul DO his songl

Come to me, o ye children!
For hear you at your play,

Where thoughts are singing swallows
And the brooks Of morning run.
In your hearts are the birds and the sun.

In your thoughts the brooklets flow,
But In mine is the wind of autumn
And the first fall of the snow.
All! what would the world be to US
II the children were no more?
We should dread the desert behind US
Worse than the dark before.

With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood,
That to the world are children;
Through them II feels the glow al
OF brighter and SUMMER climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
Come to me, o we childrenl
And whisper In my ear
What the birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere.
For what are all our contrivings
And the wisdom of your books
When compared with your caresses
And the gladness of your looks9
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said,
For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.

or it may be specified when the first are
presented that the children will be ex-
pected to propagate them themselves by
cuttings or seeds, thus continuing year
after year.
The set floral piece, emblematic of
some religious thought, is sometimes
considered an important feature of Chill
dren's day, though many churches do
not have it at all. For those that do,
these suggestions, old and new, may be
of use. A set design to be built Of flow
ers is an expensive thing, as it must be
made to order, and each part so arranged
that, when filled with flowers, it will fit
in its place easily. A floral harp, its
frame of flowers and it's strings Of fine
green vines, is very lovely design. A
miniature church Is another, also light
house, an anchor or q book made of
flowers.
A ladder, each round bearing some
word or motto significant of an aspiring
or upward climbing life, is somewhat
newer device. The ladder uprights may
be of green and may be standing in

topmost round may be marked Love-"
and with its placing may be sung the
hymn commencing:
Saviour, teach me day by day
Loves sweet lesson TO obey.
A large oar Of music, all of whose
notes are made Of flowers, hung in place
ON the green strings that form tho bar,
is new and effective design. Almost
any praise song will be suitable for this.
A ship Of flowers is always beautiful
sight. If one is built on the platform, a
sea of green may be made around it, or
it may have d platform Of flowers ON
which to stand, the platform being con-
structed under 1t after the ship itself Is
done. The songs, "Out on an Ocean All
Boundless We Ride" and Jesus, Saviour,

are suitable for such an emblem. A

Love-" and may be put together to the

part or the days cere-
monies and services that it is called
Floral Sunday almost as frequently as
by its more special title. AS that de-
notes, it is day given over to services
by the children and for the children, and
that it is the dearest Sunday in the year
to them is evident to every one who has
watched them from the morning hours,
when they give their sweetly earnest at
tention to a sermon prepared especially
for them, until in the evening they
proudly march in to take the front seats
in the church and go through their pretty
exei4Aes and songs.
Children always love to have things
that are "their very own" aside from
mere toys and clothes. To possess what
seems to be the right of adults fills the
soul of child with joy. It is nothing
uncommon for boy or girl to own
books, and to them it is no great treat
because all children have them. But
give them little bookcases to keep their
books in, and how delighted they are!
A bureau, too large for doll, but not
more than half as large as grown folks
use, is perfection to any little maiden.
And as soon as child is given a room
of his own to sleep in, how he loves to
keep it nice and accumulate decorations
for it!
1t must be this inherent love for what
usually belongs to older people that
makes children regard their special Sun
day with such affection. They will work
like beavers bringing flowers which, to
their regret, they are too small to ar
range, and will run errands more willing
~ for those who are trimming the church
than they would on any other day in the
year.
On this floral occasion of course many
lessons are drawn from flowers. They
are used to illustrate many point in q
sermon and as symbols of many vir-
tue. But there is one plan which,
strange to say, has seldom If ever been
adopted by the churches, which would
not only do much good when Children's
day comes, but would teach the children
some practical as well as some moral
lessons. That is to distribute AMONG
the members Of q school flower seeds
which they are to plant and care for as
each variety needs, the object being to
bring the growing plants on the follow
ing Childfen's day to decorate the church
and afterward to be distributed where
they will do the most good.
The lessons in Horticulture gained in
learning how to care for the flowers will
be valuable-the lesson in giving the re-
suits Of ones own labor much more valu.
