quet given the children. The repast,
consisting OF turkey, chicken, ham,
pickles, ice cream, cakes, coffee, tea,
CONNECTIONS, etc was served by the
ladies' Of the church on nicely spread
tables.
After this, tho children had enjoyed
themselves in singing, an instrument
having been provided for the occasion,
playing games began. The room being
abundanvly largo tho little ones could
romp TO their hearts, content and en-
joyed q veritable mid winter picnic. )"
At 10 o'clock oil were sent TO their
homes, and could vote have been
taken, the children undoubtedly would
have agreed that tho evening WAS one of
the most pleasant of their lives, and
that Trinity Sunday school would mover
