THoRoFARE.
A streak OF light soft stirred
Thought, feeling for the word:
It rembled--fo it broke,
And ont fl,a Glad dav a,aoEef,s

It was Easter, you know, and the rain
came down in-welI, really, there is nc
word to express it, but it came down.
However, Thorofare people, as a rule. are
not afraid Of rain, even on the Easter bon
net, and goodly number gathered in the
church and listened to a beautiful sermon
from the pastor, the ReY. George S. Golf.
The browning event of the day was the
entertainments given by the children of the
Sunday school, in the evening. They
entered so softly that they hardly broke the
holy hush Of the church, nor disturbed
'sThe breath OF the lilies
Asleep on the altar of prayer
The silence was broken by the singing Of
many sweet voices. The church was filled
to Overlooking, and Thorofare children
know how to sing. The program was a de-
lightful one throughout: the music was
fine, and many Of the recitations were un-
usually well given. Notably, A Lovely
Story by Margie Gibbs; 1.-THE Easter
Story by Ada Wilkins; and The Lily, .
by Laura Rambo; I bring you Greet
ing, by May Rambo; Easter Lilies" by
Virginia Cloak; At the Break OF Day, Dby
Florence Low, and The Dawn is Here,
by Mary Piatt, were also good; Tell the
Good News" was very prettily recited by
Ethel Golf, very young child. Swing
the Lilies'' was beautifully sung by the
primary children The Mission of the
Lilies was we'll given by Ruth Wilkins,
Dorothy Armstrong, and Abbie Rambo;
Easter Windows, was a good thing, as
given by Florence Budd, Lizzie Clement,
Margaretta Low, Mabel Clement, and Mar
garetta Truncer; Jesus Lives, = was sweet
- l. oh
Armbruster, Teddie Rambo, Harry Cloak,
Pearl Chew, and Harold Heritage; The
Meaning Of Easter" was another pretty
thing nicely given by Bennetta Truncer,
Lura Wallace, Mabel Rambo, Virginia
Cloak, Mollie Thomas, Myrtle Sheppard,
Alice Windish and Mable Burns. The boys
who recited Lessons from the Trees were
the only ones who made the audience laugh,
and what higher mission can boy have
than that? They were Paul Platt, Howard
Clement, Samuel Heritage, and Morris
Armbruster. The entertainment ended
with beautiful tableau-Four Angels OF
Eastertide, Light, Joy, Life and Peace, rep
resented by Mile Densten, Frances Nc
Gill, Addie Leach, and Florence Heritage.
The angels all had silver wings, and am
still wondering for what more important
occasion the white ones are being reserved
The Rev. George S. Golf, pastor, made a
delightful little address, and, while the of
fering is being taken, l should like to say
that the program was arranged, and entire
ly carried out by Miss Kizzie Wilkins, the
daughter of Mr.. L. r. Wilkins. the super
inteDdent of the Sunday school, and was a
wonderful success for SO young girl.
