Lithuanian Church.
Yesterday was Children's Day at the
Primitive Methodist church and was
observed by the Sunday school in the
afternoon and by the school and congrega-
ton in the evening. All the exercises were
held in the church, which was beautifully
decorated. The altar and space within the
chancel rail resembled tropical garden.
Lovely plants and flowers of many varieties
were artistically grouped and from the
midst of them arose in majestic splendor a
handsome white cross with gilt inscrip-
tions and surmounted by a crown. A
banana and an orange tree, the latter loaded
with fruit were among the collection.
The services were very interesting and in
many respects surpassed any previously
held in the church. The following was the
