Report of the committee on Sabbath
school work was made as follows:
Children's Day this year is June II.
This becoming to be the most toyously
observed of all festivals. Think of
1880 Presbyterian Sunday schools all
uniting in the same hymns and scrip
ture readings. That a mighty uplift-
ing Of our youth in worship.
The Importance of This celebration is
now usually recognized. Reports last
year show that 1852 of the Sabbath
responded to the request of the G. H.
and sent contributions to the board of
S. S. missions. The amount aportioned
to the presbytery this year TO be applied
on church debt is $500.

cunt.

Professor Nailor followed this with an
appeal for Lewis academy and the rec
ognition II deserves by the presbytery

Hatfield will speak today still further
in the interest of Lewis academy. At
the evening service after several piec-
es Of specially prepared music, and de
vOtional exercises, Miss NJ. l.. Cort pre-
