THE CARE OF CHILDREN.
On the Little Ones Depends the
Worlds Future.

Children's Day was observed at Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday by
three services, one in the morning after
noon. and evening. The auditorium was
prettily decorated with flowers and foliage.
number of singing birds, together with
the gay faces of the children, carried out
the idea OF a day of Joy and innocence.
The services were in accord with the oc-
casion, the singing, prayers, and sermons
being delivered in manner which might
be understood by the little children. The
Sunday school class occupied seats at the
back of the pulpit, while half the congre-
CATION was of the rising generation. The
morning service began with the baptism of
a number of infants, and twenty-siX
names of probationists were read, who
may hereafter become full -fiedged mem
bers of the church. After the rendition of
a number of songs and the usual prayers,
the Rev. E. L. Watson preached short
and simple sermon. He took as his text
Suffer little children to come unto me and
forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom
of God" He explained that the morning
service would be devoted more to the par
ents than to the child, as the development
of the infant depended upon its mother
and father.
THE child" he said, lis a very impor
tant individual. The infant that now lies
at home in his cradle may some day be
standing in this pulpit or in the United
States Senate The child may some day
rule the world, and how he rules the world
depends upon its parents. There is TO
limit to the intellectual possibilities of the
child. The Church and history hold in
reverence the men who impressed this
thought upon the world. The present ad-
vanced condition of this country and OF
those in Europe is the growth of the care
of the infant. The races upon the earth
that do not reverence the young and make
no effort to develop the intellectual possi-
bility of the child never advance. Chris
tianity has mortgage upon the future be-
cause of its care of the babes. The cult
vation OF the infant into perfect manhood
and womanhood depends upon three
things-good health, an educated mind,
and a spiritual soul. The natural gift OF
the parent to the child is health. Health
cannot be obtained except through living
a Christian life. immortality and sin will
bring disease to the parent, and will be
given to the child. Sickness is in a great
measure responsible for the poverty OF the
world Education in worldly things must
come through the parents. One is apt to
underestimate the value of the proper
training of the infant. Parents cannot
learn to say no to their babes.
But there must be a higher education.
child must be taught motives for what
he does. A child must be inspired to have
Godlike reasons for the purposes of its
life When infants are started on the road
of life thus prepared, they will develop into
righteous men and women

THE SPREAD OF RELIGION.
The Rev. DIR. Fiske's Address Before
the Mems Class of the y. VI. c. A.

The Rev. DIR. Fiske's Address Before
the Mems Glass of the y. VI. c. A.
A well attended meeting Of the mems
class of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation was held yesterday afternoon at
1870 o'clock in the gymnasium of the asso-
citation building. and was addressed by
Rev. A. S. Fiske, d. D.. Pastor OF ,Gunton
Temple Memorial Church. After a song
service, led by Charles S. Clark. j. b.
Sleman, Secretary of the Association, in
troduced Dr. Fiske, who spoke for thirty
five minutes. 1t had been his intention,
said DR.. Fiske, to speak to the young men
assembled on the subject, What 1t Is to
Be Christian, and How to Become One,
but since those present had declared them
selves to be followers of Christ, it would
not be necessary. He thought that Chris
tian man knew more about what it meant
to be a Christian than any minister of the
gospel could tell him. He then spoke of
the difference between a life of sin and
life without sin. Every follower of Christ
had trust and responsibility placed upon
him, and was engaged in greater and
more confidential work than the prime
minister of a powerful nation. Christians
were not servants of the master. Christ,
but friends and confdants. He laid stress
upon the fact that at the death of Christ
there were not 500 men who professed to
follow his teachings. The great spread OF
the Christian religion which had made the
world what it is today, was due to the
teachings of this mere handful of follow
ers He thought that the men of today
were honored by being permitted TO make
known the word of God, and considered
that every Christian had been ordained.
Following the address of DIR. Fiske, p II.
Hoover rendered solo. with B. Frank De-
vest as accompanist. The benediction was
pronounced by DIR. Fiske. The service next
Sunday afternoon will be conducted by
Rev. George o. Little. Pastor of Assembly's
Presbyterian Church.
