THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 10 1888.
LETTER FROM FAIRFAX
Correspondence Alexandria Gazette.)
LINCOLNIA, June Is.


Last evening a most interesting
children's day service was observed in
Bethel N. f. Cnurch and large audi
ence was in attendance. The exercises
were opened with singing, and prayer
by the pastor. This WAS followed by
responsive readings led by the Super
intenGent, Mr.. s. J. Bushey. A most
pleasing introductory address was made
by Miss Rhetta Shertzer. Two choice
duets and quartets were well render
ed by several young ladies. A number
OF Rotations were also given by
volunteers. The most in eresting
feature OF the evening was the history
OF early Methodism planted by the
Wesleys in six beautiful pictures in
ROTATIONS, dialogues, &c. by number
of young ladies and gentlemen. The
pastor also made some closing remarks.
The chaucel rail was festooned with
choice flowers, while the wreath of fair
young faces was handsome picture.
This proved to be most profitable
gathering.
Two ladies the other day were talk
ing Of the late civil war and the older
members of the company had compared
"reminiscences. (Which side were you
Cd durug the war, Mrs. B ?" asked 81
inquisitive young girl of the party
turning to pretty little woman who
was born in '62 She replied-"I was in
Farms" on the Southern side"
Mrs. Chas. Cochrille, who has beer
quite sick for the past two weeks is
much improved and she will soon be
about as usual.
