1t is probably needless to say anything
concerning the reputation of the annual
exercises on Children's Day in the Presby-
terrain church. Strenuous efforts are being
made to sustain their popularity and eclipse
all entertainments Of former years. The
music is prettier and more difficult than
ever, but the participants are having a
thorough drill under the direction Of Edgar
G. Wilson. The services OF Prof Harper,
cornetist, and leader Of the orchestra at
Temple Theatre, Camden, also director of
music at Woodlyne Park, have been en-
gagged for the occasion, to take the place of
Thomas Simpkins, our usual cornetist, who
will not be able to take the part Interest
ing exercises are being prepared in the pri-
mary department. under the direction of
Mrs. Elmer L. Wilson, who also has charge
Of the recitations. 1t is proposed to have
an electrical waterfall arranged in the
pulpit, for which purpose complete cleo
trio dynamo is to be temporarily erected
All are cordially invited to attend the exer-
cises, which will commence at 1890 a. m.
