A large congregation gathered at the
Presbyterian church, this town, Sun
day morning to witness the Children's
Day exercises, the subjec. being The
Dixie Builders" The pulpit place was
tastefully decorated with cut flowers,
evergreens and ferns. Across the pull
pit recess, forming a crescent, was the
motto, "Children's Day." trimmed with
daisies.
The exercises were opened by the
school singing brightly CLEANS Our
Banner" This was used as a process
sional, the school headed by the
orchestra marched down the centre
aisle in twos, and at the rear of the
church, went single file up the side
allies to their seats at the front. Miss
Ethel H. Cooper favored the audience
with solo in a pleasing manner, that
was highly enjoyed. A class of twelve
| from the infant department came in for
their share of the programme. In a
few appropriate words allotted to them
on the character they represented, they
built miniature "Dike" of the follow
ing inscriptions: Patriotism, Sabbath
School, Temperance, Obedience, Sab
bath Keeping, Courage and Reverence,
Purity, Love, Faith, Truth and Peace.
The pastor, Rev. c. G. Adams, gave
a shcrt talk to the school about the lit
tie boy who found leak in the dixie
in Holland, knowing the danger if he
left it, that it would mean the total de-
structiOn of that country. He went on
to tell how this little boy gave his life
to save the country, and finished by
saying, if the school would allow the
leak to break through the rock o
Truth, there would be a leak in tht
Sunday School Dixie.
The scholars deserve credit in thu
way they read in concert and the way
in which they sang. The service wa
highly enjoyed by those present. Th
Superintendent announced the Roll o
Honor for the last six months for at
, tendance, preparation of the lesson ant
