opposite side from Crane. Raymond
and Pinney were uniDjured and took
Mr.. Crane from the water and called
for help. Mr.. Crane was found to be
badly injured. His head is severely
cut above the nose, several teeth are
knocked out and he is otherwise bad
ly bruised. His Hyde Park friends
hope his injuries will lay him up but
a short time.
"Children's Day" 0ast Sunday
was observed by the Sabbath-schoOl
in this place in a very appropriate
manner. The morning service was
given up to them, at which time the
school gave carol service, entitled,
"My Country" The church was
tastefully decorated with plants,
flowers and ferns, and also with
flags, while in front of the pulpit was
fine American eagle. The decora-
tiOns were fine and added very much
to the success of the event. There
was a large attendance-the schol-
ars and audience filling the church.
The exercises opened with singing by
the school, aided by the choir, after
which came scripture reading and
prayer and remarks by the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Taylor, who stated the OBJ
ject of the gathering and also that
the missionary offering, which was
for the benefit of the "Cong'l Sunday
School and Publishing Society,""
would be used in organizing schools
in the west. Singing and responsive
readings followed and then came two
recitations, the former, "The Land
ing of the Pilgrim Fathers" by Ber-
nard Fairbanks, and the latter, " A
Contrast" by Miss Blanche Cheney.
After more singing and reading,
Master Morton Hill recited Little
Soldiers" in an excellent manner.
Then came a dialog% "The Same
Flag" in which two girls (EIlen
Fitch and May Jackson) and four
boys, Troy Eaton, Roy Pease, A. b.
Pease, and Herbie SIayton) with
Helen Mcfarland as interlocutor,
took part. The dialogue represented
the Pacific coast, Rocky mountains,
prairies, the south, foreign countries
and New England. This was nicely
rendered and was an innovation
from the old method of dialogues.
After more singing and readings a
recitation, Battle Hymn of the Re
public was given by Miss Alice
Page. Other recitations, Prayer
for Home Missions" and "Pea for
Home Missions" were given by
Misses Bertha Minor and Anna Lii
ley. At this point, a collection, in
which the people responded literally,
was taken up. The exercises were
then brought to a close by all sing
ing "My Country, tits of Thee" The
entire program was very interesting
and greatly enjoyed by all. The sew
eral parts were all well rendered and
showed much training by the COM
mittee in charge. To them is due
great credit for its success.
