Last Sunday children's day was OBJ
served at Mt. Wesley NJ. E. Church,
and large audience was present TO
witness it. The programme used was
entitled THE Golden Gate, and
proved to be very interesting and IN
structive. Upon the platform was
erected an arched gateway, covered
with flowers and evergreens. At the
gate was stationed a guardian; SIX pill
grims in succession came to the gate,
in quest respectively of Duty, Truth,
Wisdom, Service, Culture and Life; to
each of them was given by the guard
ian, after brief colloquy, key that
would open the gate. At the close Of
the programme the gate was opened
by the guardian and the pilgrims
marched through, while the school
sang the Golden Gate hymn" The
guardian was represented by Miss Bes-
sic Daley and the pilgrims by Master
Robert Whitingand Misses Sallie Mar
shall, Hettie Marshall, Lizzie Hollida,
Lulie Miller and Mary Kemp. In
addition to the colloquies between the
guardian and the pilgrims, were very
interesting exercises by the little ones,
and the singing of several choruses by
the school. Miss Irene Miller presid-
ed at the organ. Miss Mary Kemp
made the opening address and little
Masie Marshall madea closing speech
which was sprightly and interesting.
The church was tastefully trimmed,
the music was very good, and the en-
tire programme was carried out in a
very creditable manner to the evident
enjoyment of all present.
"Childrens day was observed on
Sunday last in the Southern Metho-
dist Churches at UviIla, Bethesda and
Shepherdstown. The programme used
was one published at the Southern
Methodist Publishing House in Nash
vile, and is designed to furnish infor-
nation concerning the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South-its organization,
resources, societies and work passing
in review in picturesque form, the
work of the missionary societies, the
church extension board and the edu-
cational forces of the church. 1t was
very instructive and entertaining and
was admirably carried out at each
place. The singing was excellent. AT
Uvilla Miss Rose Cavalier sang a solo
ofrare beauty. a collection was taken
for needy Sunday schools and minis
terial education, amounting to more
than thirty dollars. The congrega-
tons, particularly at Uyilla and Beth
esda, were very large.
The meeting of the Virginia Chassis
