The County Sunday School picnic
held at Goulding's park on last Thurs
day was a most enjoyable occasion.
The happy faces of the children was of
itself sufficient reward to those who
had inaugurated the affair. The music
was excellent, and everybody. old and
young. had a good time. The recita-
tions. essays and declarations were
well rendered The little people who
participated in this part of the pro-
gram merit high praise. Not with
standing the fact that the exercises
were conducted in the open air, they
rendered their pieces so distinctly that
they were heard by the entire audi
ence. and it was large one. There
was a heartiness about the singing that
could not fail TO please. After the
music and declamations, an old-fash-
toned spread was set out under the
shade of the oaks that the sight of
was sufficient to make dyspeptic hun
CRY. There was enough for everyone,
and it was enjoyed by all, for everyone
was made welcome. The jollity and
good nature on every side were infec>>
tious, and each one felt that it was
good to be there. The program was
SO arranged that each school had a
special work. and those that were
present filled the parts assigned to
them in a very credltable manner. 1t
is a good thing TO spend a day under
the greenwood tree in summer time.
1t brought to US memories of the long
ago, when we used to belong to Sun
day School and enjoyed just such oc-
casions as this as a child can only en-
joy-enjoyed so keenly that their
memory is still present with US. 1t
cost no little trouble and pains to pre-
pare for picnic of this kind. but the
effort to add to the enjoyment of the
children is an ample compensation OF
itself. Too much praise cannot be
given to those who managed it. They
understand the business of causing
children as well as grown up people 10
have a good time when on an outing.
After dinner we listened to the speech
es by the elders. and the excellent
must. furnished by the 1ronton band.
We witnessed the game of ball, and
when the assemblage broke up, we felt
that we would like to attend another
such occasion next year. AT the close
of the programme the following reso-
lutions were carried by a unanimous,
rising vote. ResolUed, That the thanks
of the picnickers be rendered to DR..
Goulding for the free use of his park;
to the band boys for their splendid
music: to the ladies who so Hastily pre-
pared and so well served at the table:
to the young men who served such
good lemonade in such abundant guam
tity: to the editor of the REGISTER for
the privileges of announcements; and
TO all who have in every way contrib
uted to the success of this day.
