Chihren's day at the Congregational
church, Sunday, June %, occupied the
place of the usual morning service, and
the bright, eager faces of the children
showed how much they appreciated hav-
ing day all their own. The church
was beautifully decorated with laurel,
ferns and roses; but of all the decora-
tions nothing was so full of interest as
the children themselves, who carried out
so we'll the places assigned them on the
program. The little boy choir sang un-
usually we'll and are doing great credit
to the careful training of their teacher.
