Second Presbyterian Church.

1.-THE most attractive Childrens day
exercises ever conducted in this
church." was the general verdict of all
of the members of the Second Presby
terian church who witnessed the splen-
did programme presented in that
church yesterday morning by the chill
dren of the primary department Of the
Sunday school, under the direction of
Prof. j. NJ. Chance and Miss Nc
Gaughey.
The church was simply but beautl
fully decorated. Around the organ
were entwined daises and ferns, while
other wild flowers were banked up on
either side. The platform was enlarged
and on this was seated the primary
class, numbering some eighty children,
and the Sunday school orchestra,
which rendered splendid instrumental
music during the service. Superintend-
ent James A. Lansing, of the Sunday
school, presided. and Miss Mabel Rem
ME played the organ.
After two opening congregational
hymns a brief address of welcome was
cleverly given by Horace Chandler.
Probably the most enjoyable feature Of
the programme was the presentation
of flowers before a picture of Christ
placed upon table Those who par
ticipated in this exercise We're Beatrice
McComb, Romaine Nazes, Ruth Schultz,
Eleanor Benjamin, Anna Hand and
Helen NaZes. Each child in presenting
the flowers recited an appropriate
verse,
Among the others who participated
in the programme were Madeline Jay,
Eleanor Matthews, Helen Pickering.
Hazel Cass, Kathryn Clemons, Gather
inc Coursen, Lizzie McCracken, Fanny
Moir, Mabel MOir Clementina Dorsey,
Edna Quick, Corrine Lutz, Christina
Dryden, Lillian Lee, Beth Godfrey,
Helen Allen, Eva Lutz, Ruth Lansing.
Helen Barnard and Mabel Craven.
The singing of the children was es-
pecially creditable and showed the re.
suits of long and careful training on
the part of Prof. Chance. The collec-
tion taken up was for the benefit of a
mission school in Cuba.

Grace Lutheran Church.

At the Grace Lutheran church the
day was appropriately observed in the
morning. The church itself was
prettily decorated, roses, palms, ferns
and wild flowers giving the place an
air symbolical of the summer season.
The church was crowded when
Lawrence's orchestra played the pre-
lude, after which Pastor Luther Hess
Waring invoked blessing. After the
singing of a hymn by the choir and
the reading of the Scripture lesson,
little Roy Linker read Psalm xiii,
Freddie Wilson gave the greeting, and
Lille Foss and Freddie Gordon gave
recitations.
The primary school went through
their exercises, under the teacher,
Mrs. Clara Wilcox, and "The Child of
Nazareth" was recited by Irene
Lorenz. and "The Little. Prayer" by
Irene Siebecker.
Clara Haas read "A Scrap of a
story" and the pastor Rev. Waring,
then gave an interesting address. He
chose his text from John 81: Is, and
spoke of the benefits brought to the
world by Christ and Christianity,
speaking particularly of the .<great
charitable institutions, such as orphan
asylums, homes for the infirm and
aged and other like institutions, to
which the heather paid no attention.
He spoke of the great Francke's or
phanage at Halle, Germany, where in
two hundred years one hundred thous-
and young people have received their
educations. He then told Of the Logs
Vile institution, the Lutheran estab-
lishment where one hundred and sixty
orphans are now being cared for, and
brought his address to a close by an
eloquent plea for a liberal contribu-
tion to it.
A collection was then taken and a
very generous amount subscribed. The
services We're brought to a close by
the singing of the Doxology and the
pronouncing of the benediction.

DIR. HoUsER's FRIENDS.
They Advance Strong Points in His
Favor for Sheriff.

DR.. Houser's friends are most en-
thusiastic in their support of this pop
ular and formidable candidate for
sheriff. They present many good
reasons in favor of his success at this
afternoons primaries. These are a
few:
He is clean, upright, capable man,
thoroughly qualified to fill the office.
For twenty-five years he has been
an active worker for the party, never
before this looking for office.
He lives south of the city line where
there are 1000 Republicans ~ho have
never had a representative in county
office.
He is the only candidate in that Sec
tion for any office and his vote there
will be nearly unanimous.
He has no enemities in the party to
heal, will have a united party behind
him. thus adding strength to and not
weakening the ticket.
His canvass has commanded the re-
spect of his opponents.
Not an unkind word is heard against
him. ~

Childrens day was generally OBJ
served yesterday in a large number of
the city churches, the exercises in
many instances being exceedingly elab-
crate and in all cases largely attended,
the weather being almost ideally per-
feet.
Perhaps the most elaborate service
of all was that given at the Penn Ave-
nue. Baptist church under the direction
of Rev. Robert +. Y. Pierce, ID. D., the
pastor. This service was especially
arranged by DR.. Pierce for the Ameri-
can Baptist Publication society for use
in all of the Baptist churches through
out the country and is called Gospel
Bells"
The church was elaborately decor
ated. On the organ was a large cleo
trical device representing the first bars
of Joyous Gospel Bells" The notes
and numerals were composed of mean
descent lights. At the front of the
platform was arranged another elabo-
rate device, which was used in illus
trating the emblematic piece, THE
Water of Life" which was the feature
of the service.
This device consisted of life size
| -
well, with it's long pole and other ac-
coutrements, the pole resting on a cross
| instead of on a forked branch. The
whole was studded with over $50 in
| candescent lights.
The various characters represented
| in the illustration Of this emblematic
! piece were as follows: Leader, Miss
Julia f. Hay; Wealth, Miss Mabel
| IIn, Ie. 10
Fame, Miss Phoebe MacQuaw; FASH
ion, Miss Ethel V. Grant; education
Miss Della M. Moore Burmah Miss
Evelyn d. Gates; India, Miss Minnie
Powell; China, Miss Mary Davis; At
rica, Miss Dora Griggs; Islands of the
Sea, Miss Minnie Kiefer; Errors
Chains, Miss Lillian Bates; Mercy,
Miss Louisa Rought.
The leader stood near the WELL and
at her side stood Mercy. Each of the
characters advanced wearing crowns
bearing their names upon them. Each
told of their seeking after something
! beyond the mere pleasures of this life
and each We're in turn permitted by
the leader to drink of the Water of
Life" which is Christ. AS each quaffed
the cup their crowns were removed by
Mercy and replaced with others bear
ing the words Immortality" and
Eternal Life"
The other part of the programme was
also very attractive and was partici-
pated in principally by the primary
children, who were seated upon the
platform to the number of 200 or more
superintendent Luther Keller acted as
chairman. Among the children who
participated We're John Harlow, Dick
son Horton, Hattie Estelle, Ethel Burns
Mary Everett, Harold Browning anG
Alex. Compton. The singing of the
children was also an attractive feature
At the close of the regular programme
a brief address was made by Rev. O
F.. Flippo, d. D., of Philadelphia, or
The Missionary Work of the Ameri
can Baptist Publication Society" II,
dwelt particularly upon the work done
by the society in establishing Sunday
schools in various places Throughout
the country. The society had organ
lied over $1,000 of these since it's in
auguration, he declared. During tn,
course of his remarks he paid a higl
tribute to Rev. DR.. Pierce's ability.

First PresbYterian Church.

The Children's Day exercises at the
First Presbyterian church We're con-
Quoted in the afternoon at 4 o'clock

were largely attended by the MEM
bers of the congregation and were
most interesting and enjoyable.

ship used was prepared by Rev. DR..

board of publication and Sabbath
school work. The pulpit and sur

tastefully decorated with laurel and
the church presented a most beauti-

The exercises were opened with the
singing of Forward BE Our Watch

which the pastor, Rev. James Nc
Leod, d. D., offered prayer. After the
singing of "Raise the Song of Tri-
umph," by the congregation, there
was a responsive Scripture reading,
followed by the singing of the hymn,
Looking Upward Every Day"
Several little children, prettily and
Gaintily attired, then gave appropriate
recitations. Among these We're Mar
garet Connell, Marguerite Barker and

of which We're cleverly given, We're
followed by the singing of I'VE Sing

Resolutions Upon the
 Death of Mrs, Underwood

The following resolutions upon the death of Mrs. Oscar w. Underwood were adopted at the last meeting of the Edgewood club: Inasmuch as God in His wisdom has sum- moned to her rest our former associate and CO., worker, Mrs. Oscar W. Underworld be it Resolved, That we desire to place on record our sense of loss in the knowledge that her life, so bright with noble ideals, and fruitful in worthy endeavor, has fallen under the shadow of death ere it had reached its zenith
 Resolved, That the recollection of her high mental endowments, her earnestness of purpose and ready and unfailing interest in all that was pure and uplifting, and her conscientiousness in every undertaking, and likewise the sorrow we feel that we may hope no more for the helpful influence Of her presence, stands in our thought as 6 memorial of her virtues, which shall not be effaced.
 Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, and a copy be sent to the family of Mrs. Underwood and one to the local press for publication.
