 CHILDREN's DAY OBSERvANCEs.
 Children'S day was observed in both churches, Baptist and Methodist. In the morning the service was held in the Baptist church and by invitation the congregation of the Methodist church were present and enjoyed the exercises and music of q finely arranged pro- gram. The little ones without excep- tion spoke very nicely. Harry Powell, who has line control of a particularly sweet-toned violin, assisted the organ ist in the music, which .was well rem dered in every number. The church was prettily trimmed with many flow CTS and plants. After the service the Baptist people kindly gave their sfOral trim to the sister church, which, to- gether with their own flowers, enabled their society to make an abundant dis play in their church. The centerpiece was a large and massive floral arch, banked on either side by many colOred flowers, ferns and ornamental plants The service held in the evening in the Methodist church was also union one and we'll attended, although the rain made it very unpleasant in reaching the church. By curious coincidence the song service, Comrades of the Cross, was selected by both Sunday that the congregations listened to ythe same songs at each service, only being rendered by different singers. The ex- erciseS and speaking were very inter- esting. At this service Miss Edith Fairchild recited fine selection and Miss Nellie Birdie assisted with reel ta ation. Both of these ladies are gifted speakers. Miss Carolyn Osborn sang a solo, "The Birth of the Flowers" A male quartet sang two selections with fine effect. Children's day is one of the very bright days of the year and like the flowers, designed that the world may be the happier and better for it.
