Children,s Day.

The M. e. Sunday School observed Chill
drens Day last Sunday with appropriate
and pleasing exercises. The floral decora-
tions were simple but very pretty. consis-
ting chiefly of palms. ferns and daisies. A
pure white cross, bearing the words "Our
Young Crusaders" and twined about with
the stars and stripes, formed the center
piece with blooming plants at the base and
on either side.
The morning service was rendered by
the Infant Departm, nt,n and the speeches
songs and class exercises by the little men
and women were very interesting. A large
and approving congregation was in attend
ance, and the service was more loudly
praised than an eloquent sermon by an
eminent preacher. In the evening the pro-
gram was given by the adult school. The
music was very pretty and spirited lead by
the orchestra, and the recitations and yo-
cal selections were up to the usual mark of
excellence. The thermometer was also up
to the usual notch on such occasions, and
if possible the dresses and bonnets were
prettier than ever. The collection amounted
to $23.
