quite interesting. The pulpit and bap-
tistry were profusely and beautifully dec
GRATED with growing plants and flowers,

ID. Barr, superintendent of the Sunday

lets. Where all discharged their duties
so we'll it would be hard for us to dis
criminate. However, we deem it but
justice to say in reference to the recita-
lions of little Miss Isabel Weller, who
was not on the program, but voluntarially
gave her assistance, that she is an artist
of the first water. Her story of the bear
and little girl was wonderfully told, much
to the delight of the children, and her
rendition of Jesus Loves Me, " in which
she not only recites but sings, was given
in such pathetic manner that many in
the audience were moved to tears. The
program was interspersed with singing
gospel songs Pastor Cole, at the con-
clusion of the exercises of the children,
delivered fine address to the Sunday
School. He was followed by the Super
intendent, who stated, in a few comph-
mentary remarks, that Mrs. w. L. Will
son, who had been teacher in the school,
had presented to the school, as token of
love and affection, a cabinet organ. Mr..
Cole, on behalf of the school, expressed
thanks and appreciation of the gift in
very happy manner. A rising vote of
thanks was rendered to the donor.
