Sunday School Anniversary in England

Editor BANNER Thinking few lines
from this part OF the country might be
OF interest to your many readers and
having few spare moments / pen you
the following, giving in brief our doings
in this part of England
One year ago we organized Sunday
school with IL. Although rather
small beginning we pushed ahead in
creasing slowly one by one and to be up
to the times we held our first anniversa-
ny on Sept. 25th and 10Th. To aid us in
our work the Elders and Saints dubbed
together and purchased a nice little
organ to have in our Meeting House.
Prior to this Brother Weeks played a
concertina to help us in our music and
singing. Our Branch has grown SO
rapidly that we have grown beyond
this and have now very nice American
organ from the Bridgeport Organ Co. Of
Conn. in our Meeting House.
Now for the program as carried out at
our Anniversary just to give you an idea
how we do things in England. We had
arranged for Sunday School tea party
on Saturday, Sept. 25th, at A p. IN. AT
the appointed time all were present, as
is usually the case on times like this,
expecting to enjoy themselves in a good
old English tea party. 1t consisted of
bread sliced thin and well buttered tea
cakes cut in quarters then opened and a
nice slice OF ham put between, current
lolf cut very thin and the other cake
prepared the same way. This was
placed on plates which were put on the
center OF II long table covered with a
nice white cloth. Each one had plate
placed before them but no knives or
forks as fingers were first. Last but not
least cup OF tea was placed for each
person over two years old. The English
must have their tea. Then followed a
good feast which kept several ladies
busy refilling the cups and placing more
eatables on the table After the
children had finished some % or 80
older ones sat down, with 10 visiting
elders, and had our tea Sweets Candy
was then distributed among the
children. After this it was time to
clear the table and get ready for our
entertainment which commenced at
$3.50. The following program was
