Children's Day at the Presbyterian Church

Last Sunday at the Presbyterian
church was Children's Missionary Day.
The exercises were very interesting,
and consisted of singing, prayer. re-
sponsive readings, IN address on Mis-.
sions by the uperintendent, DR.. w. E.
Pelham, and collection in aid Of mis-
sions.
A day devoted to such an exercise
has been observed for several years in
the Presbyterian Church Sunday
schools, with most gratifying results.
The responsive readings are partly
devotional aud partly intended to bring
missions and missionary work to the
attention of the children. The read
ipgs consist largely of questions by the
school in concert, and answers by the
leader, as to the number, names of
missionaries, fields of labor and results
of missions in the field occupied by
the Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Pelham S address was an inter-
esting and earnest presentation Of the
missionary cause, and exhortation to
renewed and Increasing work in the
cause on the part of the Church and
the Sunday-school.
The occasion was enjoyed by a num-
Der Of visitors, and was we'll calculated
to add to the knowledge of the children
on the subject Of missions, and arouse
their interest and enthusiasm in the
cause.

Lutheran child there and several Me

| not bounded by sectarian lines. The
Newberry Baptist Sunday-school has
taken up the support of one child.
Our dinner was spread in the beauti-
full grove at the orphanage and the
children were invited to dine with US.
1t was such dinner as only the New
berry ladies know how to prepare and
we verify believe there was enough to
have fed twice as many as were present.
They had every thing you could think
Of and in great abundance. The editor
must be permitted to thank the Misses
Griffin and Miss Mary Pope for their
kindness in supplying him with most
excellent dinner.
Miss Salter was there with her kodak
and after dinner took snap shot at the
children gathered on the steps. We
are told the pictures will be ready this
week and if you want to see how the
children look you can call at the gale

Soor after dinner the transportation
of the party back to Greenwood was
begun where there was a match game
of ball between Greenwood and New
berry in which Greenwood was victo-
rlous. There were also bicycle races
and our train was held over 80 that our
party could witness them.
Greenwood is live and progressive
town and has number of enterprisipg
citizens. We found there as you will
find almost everywhere some Newberry
men who are prominent citizens. We
recall now Mr.. John r. Leayell, Jr.,
Dr.. R. 3. Epting and Mr.. Willie
Bowers. Greenwood also has quite a
bevy of pretty apd charming girls and
the wonder is that we succeeded in
getting all our young men home. We
doubt if they came heart whole and we
would not be surprised to hear of their
returning at any time.
The return trip was uneventful. We
reached home little after dark, every
one feeling we'll repaid for having made
the trip. 1t will be long remem bered as
one of the pleasant oases in life.
