The Baptist Sunday school observed
Children's Day last Sunday morning.
The floral committee, Miss Underwood,
Mrs. Arthur Willard and Miss Scott, dec
GRATED the church most beautifully and
tastefully with potted and wild plants
and flowers. The manner in which the
children recited the parts assigned them,
showed the careful pains taken by their
instructors, Miss Tomlinson and Miss
Bridges. The music under the direction
of Miss Sanford and others was excel
lent. The exercises passed off success
fully, doing great credit to the school.
Children's Day was observed in the
Methodist church Sunday. 1t was de-
lightful day and both children and older
people were in their highest glee. Miss
Adelia Hall took charge of the exercises
and in very pleasing and able manner
introduced to us the various parts that
will make up 1.-THE Church of the Flu
ture." The children and older scholars
who took part were at their best and the
choir charmed each one with their rem
dering of REST in the Lord" The
church was decorated with excellent
taste. In the evening there were ad-
dresses by Obed Hall and Miss Adelia
Hall. Mr.. Hall said that in looking
back over fifty years he has seen some
marvellous changes. Stamford to day is
far in advance of what it was fifty years
ago. He then asked the question con-
corning the cause of the change. At
first he answered it, Education" This,
however, did not satisfy his mind and he
attached to it "Chriatian Education
the education of the whole man.
