PRIZES ron LUTHERAN CHILDREN.
Presented for Sunday school At
tendance.


The services last night at the Lutheran
Church of the Ascension were held in the
Sunday school room, where the prizes
were distributed to those children of the
school whose attendance last year entitled
them to receive them.
The usual services were held, the SER
mon by the pastor being upon the impor-
lance of Sunday school work and training.
Rev. DR.. Schaeffer, talked upon this sub
ject to the parents as well as to the chill
dren. To the latter he showed the mpor-
lance of study and application while at
Sunday school, and an the preparation OF
the lessons, and 10 the parents he pointed
out the duty that demands them to devote
more of the home influences to the training
of the children. He said that the children
of to-day do not, as a rule, receive the
training at home and the teachings from
the Bible that they received in the last
generation, and that the return to the old
method should be certain and speedy. He
said that great aid could be given the
Sunday schools by the parents if they
would see to it that their children receive
some training while at their homes.
The prizes were distributed by the SUI
perintendent of the school, Mr.. w. B.
Spann, assisted by Mr.. Charles E. STAN
ton, secretary. All of the eighty-three
children who were to receive them were
present, as were also a great. many of
their friends and parents. All the avail
able room in the lecture room was taken
up.
Five girls and eight boys of the infant
class were given prizes These consisted
of knives for the boys and spoons for the
girls. The knives and spoons We're very
handsome and will be highly priced by
their recipients. The spoons had engrav-
ed upon them the names of the girls to
whom they were given. OF the older
scholars forty-one girls and twenty-eight
boys received the prizes. All who were
given the prizes received them through
virtue of their having gotten three certi-
hcates of attendance during the year.
Each of these certificates represented an
attendance of thirteen Sundays, so that
the three represented an attendance on
thirty-nine of the fifty-two Sundays in
the year. That this record was made by
such large number OF the children was
matter of surprise and delight to the
teachers and officers of the school,
