RECENT DISCOVERIES.

No Woman's Day, but Children's Day
Comes Once a Year.
The two great modern discoveries are
woman and the child. The world has
been absorbed all these centuries with
men. Men have made its history, set up
and overthrown it's governments, mo-
nopolized its enterprises, privileges,
glory, while women have been tolerated
as q necessary evil, and children have
only been regarded as possibilities of
the future. The great past recognized
the man, the wife and the family. I'm
der this latter head were hidden the
children. Their individuality was
merged, so to speak, in that convenient
term.
But in these days Of overturnings and
revolutions, when institutions hoary
with age and canonized by centuries
are rudely classified as effete and new
ideas are irreverently thrust into their
places, woman is asserted in such a posi-
tive manner that she can no longer hide
herself behind the veil of the centuries,
but must come to the front not only in
the great secular but also in the reli-
gious world, and as she comes forward
in her hesitating, modest manner she
brings the child with her. We have no
woman's day in our calendar, but we
have Children's day. Children's day
comes but once year. Perhaps it is be-
cause woman's day comes much oftener
that we do not make an anniversary of
it, and perhaps Children's day will
some time disappear for the same rea-
son. Certainly there is no day in tho
year when we can afford to forget them.
They are very dear, delightful little per-
sonages, a benediction to the home, to
society and certainly to the church.
We are apt to consider them in the
church relation only as possibilities of
the future. They are potentialities of
the present, and church that has no
place for them and only tolerates them
because of what it expects them to be-
come is not half the church it ought to
be.
Fit for the Sunday school? Yes, of
course. Fit for the church? Why not?
OF such is tho kingdom of heaven. Let
them in, take them in, high chairs and
all, into tho very sanctuary, not once a
year, not for the purpose of q celebra-
ton, but put them into the midst Of
every WORSHIP ing assembly, and if the
service has t. be modified and the SER
mon shortened and simplified, why, SO
much the better for all. What is meet
for the kingdom of heaven is meet for
the children. Independent.

We joyfully sing mid the birds and flowers
To the praises Of God, and say
The beautiful time of the summer hours
Is tho children's Sabbath day.
The Sabbath Of lilies and rosesl
Our souls draw near in praises
To the beauty of Christ in paradise
On the children's Sabbath dayi
Oh, who is the Rose OF Sharon today?
And who is the Lily whiteY
And whose Is the love that leads our way
To the gardens of paradise bright
At his feet triumphant we cast our flowers,
And our off'rings there we lay,
Rejoicing the gifts of his love are ours
On the children's Sabbath dayi
The Sabbath OF lilies and rosesl
Our souls draw near In praises
To the beauty of Christ in paradise
On the children's Sabbath day.

A Dream of Poor Children.

had dream. So sad, SO sad it was
1t hurts my heart to tell that dream again.
I thought / stood above the life that draws
It's weary breath in crowded street and lane
Above the rough, hot pavement and the glare
From binding roof and wall and sun scorched
air.
I looked as might spirit from on high,
Not strong, but trembling, and saw God
The children's poor sweet faces, bold or shy,
All, all were piteous; none seemed bright nor
glad.
I heard their songs and cries. their restless
feet
And their wild. longing hearts that beat and
beat.
Them as a spirit might, I turned my eye
Out to the broad blue waters of the bay,
To all the widespread loneliness that lies
Within the reaches of Gods glorious day
The hills, the fields, the streams that laugh
and move
And the kind, happy heaven that smiled
above.
saw fresh daisies in the cool deep grass
And bending boughs that shook their blos-
SONS down.
watched the birds on sun swept pinions pass,
And then saw again the crowded town,
The pale young children, where they walked
and slept,
Their eager pleading faces and wept.
And some dressed wan and faint for want Of
bread,
And trembling some, with fear Of curse or
blow,
And some at heavy tasks bent hand and head,
Numb with the pain that hopeless toilers
know,
And some were girls, children no more-O
God,
dared not look to see the path they trod
Near me white seraphs hung and mutely wept
And Christ, methought, wept, too, above it
all,
A broken prayer against my sobbing swept,
And awoke. weep when 1 recall
That dream, so sad, SO strange 1t can but
seem
Only dream! Surely twas but dreami

after. Several days work is necessary
along that line. Suitable grounds must
be secured and booths erected. After
the grounds are located the railroads
have to be seen and the transportation
arranged for.
There must also be q place of meet
ing arranged for down town, and there
must be marshals for the parade, and the
bands must not be forgotten. You
couldn't handle 5000 or 10, 200 street
children without music, and it takes
several large bands to furnish enough.
What would parade be without flags
and banners! If the reader thinks that
waits picnic can be stirred up out Of
nothing, without any exertion, that
reader should join the forces next year.
1t takes work, and it takes money But
to go back to that great July day.
The parade came first, and after the
parade there were races for big girls and
races for little girls, races for big boys
and races for little boys Over 100 prizes
were distributed. Then came the ban
quet, boys and girls being served sepa-
rately. The objective point for the crowd
was a slit in the wall of rude board
shanty, barely wide enough for child
to squeeze through.
the slit passing the boys through. Near
by were dozen other police gesticulat-
ing and shouting in vain endeavor to
induce the larger portion Of the crowd
to get in line Finding they could do
nothing in this way, they devoted. their
efforts to gathering up all the small and
sickly looking youngsters they could see,
picking them up bodily and planting
them in the front Of the line where they
would have first chance at the lunch.
Inside the shanty was a mountain of
pasteboard boxes, around which were 80
women. 1t was quick work. The chill
dren were hustled along so fast that be-
fore they could grasp the situation they
would emerge from the other side of the
shanty with box of cold victuals and
dazed look.
The waits ate until they We're tired.
They ate until they were in misery. Aft
er the feast they lined up for the lemon
ade, which was issued in the same way
as the lunches. Each child was given
huge tincupful of the incest lemonade
made out of sure enough lemons and
real water That ended the feast.
Then came more fun. But as all days
have an end Poor Children's day was no
exception, and after o'clock the chill
dren were back in their old haunts
again.

A GAY Procession.

BY general usage and from its annual
occurrence over so many years Ami
versary day has grown to be peculiar
and distinctive ceremony in Brooklyn.
No other city in the length and breadth
of the Union has anything like it. It
commentaries the founding Of the
Brooklyn Sunday School union, which
binds together all the evangelical
churches of the town. What it has ac-
complished, save in the way of frater-
nalism and this annual showing, is not
great, but Children's day alone is suf-
ficient to mark it as a success.
A parade in which nearly 70, 900 chill
dren march is picturesque sight. Each
Sabbath school class has q banner of its
own. Sayly colored piece of silk, with
gilded letters. Tho big boys of the
schools are pressed into this service, and
they arc only too glad of the burden.
Streamers ending in tassels hang from
these gay flags, and they are held by
tiny girls The color of the parade is in
cheeks, banners, sashes and ribbons.
There are miles and miles of white
frocks. It is day of white-swiss,
muslin and dimity. Hats are white too.
If the May day is ideal in weather, the
classes of girls march along, hardly
broken by pinks, blues or yellow. Be-
hind them the coming masculine genera
ton look somber. But the girls are al
ways in the great majority. Each class
teacher is at the side of her line, like a
marshal or adjutant. 1t is only in para
soils that the teachers attempt to Guido
each other. Whether the sun pours down
or not. every parasol is up, bewildering
combinations of lace and color.

Children's Day.

Oh, Children's day in the summers prime!
How bright is the world and how fair
When over the bowers the roses climb
And the lilies are waving in airl
We bring to our affairs our gifts of flowers,
And the singing Birds and say
The happiest day Of the summer hours
Is the children's Sabbath day.
The Sabbath of lilies and rosesl
Our souls draw near in praises
To the beauty of Christ in paradise
On the children's Sabbath day.
Today the censers of roses swing,
More sweet than the censers of gold.
The birds at the altar sweetly sing
AS they sung in the temple of old.

One thing yet there IS, that none,
Hearing ere its chimes be done,
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun,
Hoped in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Very round and very light,
Heard from mornings rosiest height,
Where the soul of all delight
Fills child's clear laughter.
Golden bells Of welcome rolled
Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours so blithe i'll tones so bold
AS the radiant mouth of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
If the golden crested wren
Were n nightingale, why, then
Something seen and heard Of men
Might be half as sweet as when
Laughs a child of seven.
