A ChiIdren's Service.
The "Children's Day" concert for which
the Sunday school boys and girls of the
Congregational church have been prepar.
ing for several weeks was held at the
church Sunday evening and all unite in
placing it among the most pleasing cele-
bratiOns of the occasion ever held i'll Lyn-
donville. The suec,sS Of the concert was
in a large measure due to the untlring
work OF Miss Alice Clark Hutchinson
and Mrs. Charles O. Norris, who had en-
tire charge of the arrangements and the
training of the children. The church was
prettily decorated with ferns, wild flow
ers and ported plants, the altar rail being
banked with maiden-hair ferns and
daisies. A pleasing feature OF the pro-
gram was a Daisy Song" by 16 little
girls dressed in white, and each carrying
a bunch of white daisies. During this
seven of the giils gave briet rotations.
Bruce Wakefield sang a solo in splendid
style, and the trio, Josie Hutchns, Care
LeBourveau and Geneva WiImot was
very charming. Another number which
deserves much praise was the singing OF
"His Banner Der U.s." by six boys,
Robert Wilson, Sumner Stuart, Paul
Cheney Aubrey Gray, Paul Weston and
Gilbert Campbell. Altogether it was
very worthy celebration of this delightful
festival aud will be long remembered not
only by the children but by all who were
present.
