CHIIDREN'.S SUNDAY.
1t Has Come To Be Generally Oh

The second Sunday in June has come to be
recognized generally by Protestant churches as
Children's Sunday. Children's Day. To-day in
a large proportion of these churches in this
country and other parts of the world white
robed girls and half-scared boys of the kinder

songs and lisp something about beautiful

parents and teachers in the audience. All about
the children will be banks of wild flowers the

an analogy to the children.
Children's Day a religious festival in the
church has become popular that than
one denomination and church claims the dis
tinction of originating it. Members of the Con-
gregatonal denomination declare that it was
first observed by them. The officials of the Meth
odist Church kindly, but firmly assert in their
literature that as to Individual sporadic OBJ
servance of day in the interest of children no
denomination properly claim precedence;
the Methodists, probably, have as good claim
as any other Church. but "as to the funda-
mental idea embraced in ChiIdren's Day and
acted officially, the Methodist Church has the
priority" They conclude their declaration by
saying, AS to ChdI Day proper, it is dis
tinctly a Methodist institution" It's real origin

committee appointed by the General Conference
of 1864 to prepare for the celebration of the
centenary of Methodsm in this country. which

The Congregationalists have no central or
ganization that can act officially for the de-
nomination, SO they do not dispute the claim
of priority of official recognition. The Univer-
salist General Convention of 1861 recommended
that the second Sunday in June be set aside for
the baptism of children. 1t is probably not
known in what church chdrens day was first
observed. Various churches had set apart n

SPORTS IN ARGENTINA.
Good Effect of Their Introductioa
By Athletic Enghshmen.
BY Pemberton Smith.

The Argentine race like It's prototype in the
United States. has been entirely formed BY
European immigration, and just as AnSlo-Saxon
characteristics predominant in North America,
owing to the greater proportions, of immigrants
from Northern Europe, so in Argentina, the tide
of immigration for years having flowed from
Spain and Italy. the characteristics of the Latin
race predominant.
One of the most marked of these is disin-
clination to exertiOn, which the Italians have
summed up in the phrase Dolce far niente"
C'the joy of doing nothing')-so that anything
that has to be done is carried out in the most
leisureIy manner possible, and nothing is ever
done day that can possibly be put off until
Tomorrow
With such spirit bred in the bone it is not
surprising that any sports in which physical
exertion is required never INDUCED in by
the Argentine youth and in fact were practi-
calIy unknown, and had it not been for the
tenacity with which the EngIishman living
abroad clings to his native sports and amuse-
ments they might be unknown to-day. but
thanks to this admirable quality there has been
a peaceful conquest of Argentina by British
sports that is going to have far reaching effect
on the future Argentine race.

cIes ON the benefit that WIS derived by the youth

stately fame known as St Georges Chapel. at
Windsor Castle, where the marriage of the fCt-
ure King of Sweden to Princess Margaret of

glorious epoch of Swedish history, thereby
strengthening the hold of his family upon the
