FIRST NJ. z. CHURCH.
Children's day was observed in the
two Methodist churches in the evening
In the morning Rev. DR.. ]. II. DAshiell,
now in his eighty-second year. preached
at the First M. (, Church. taking as his
subject "The young man who. 1900 Is.
c., on the call of Gideon was able to
write down the names OF the II elders of
Succoth." DIR. Dashiell referred to the
broad education of the past. and said a
common school education was not a thing
OF modern creation.
He took the young man Of Gideon s
time as the example Of well educated
young man, and wondered what youth
OF today would be able on call TO write
down the names OF the elders OF his city.
DR.. Dashiell, who is trustee of the Wo-
mans College OF Baltimore, after tracing
the great educational institutions OF Meth
odism, having over so of the 400 colleges
of America within its control, brought his
argument down 10 the splendid work Of
the Woman's College, which DIR. Elliott,
of Harvard, declared had no superior in
America for the education of women
The doctor made strong appeal tor an
aid to the college, to which response will
be made by the congregation through
envelopes distributed. Three of the
alumnae of the Woman's College Came
from Annapolis.
An elaborate programme was executed
at this church In the evening, in which
singing, responsive readings and scotia
tions by the children were distinctive fea-
lures. Little Adele Parlett sang very
sweetly and May Lindsay, Rosie Hop
kins and others recIted very weelindeed.
The music was beautiful, Mr.. Charles G..
Feldmsyer, directing. and Miss Augusta
Smith and Miss Katherine Parlett, or
ganists of the church and Sunday school,
respectively There were large congre-
cations at all of the churches.
