gathered in a shady grove near the pleasant
little village of Zoar, on Saturday, to par
ticipate in the festivities customary at a
Sunday school picnic. Various amusements
were INDUCED in until dinner was announc-
ed. A load Of good things for the elmer
man" were spread and heartily enjoyed by
young and Old Rev.S. W.Cole conducted the
religious exercises and made an appropriate
address 70 the children, replete with timely
advice, in his usual happy vim. The SUI
perintendeni, Mr. John A. Osbourn, also
made few remarks \ gentle shower in
the afternoon dampened the grass and
weakened the lemonade, but it also made
the last few hours the most pleasant of the
day. Croque,, foot. ball. swings. etc, were
the chief source Of amusement. The picnic
was an entire success and the tired children
as well as grown folks reluctantly left the
grove for home. 1t was an occasion long to
be remembered
