..sipg out children. as the little thrushes do
Pluck your handfuls Of the meadow cowsllps
Laugh aloud to feel your finger let them
through!
While we have all enjoyed our Christmas
festivities, and exchanged our New Years
greeting, the children have patiently
waited, but now their turn has come, and
seems to be quite time that they should be
both seen and heard. Anyone who had
stepped into the Thorofare church on
Christmas Eve might have thought an
angel throng bad gathered there, so lovely
looked the white-robed beings, who oc-
cupied large portion Of the middle block.
The church was garlanded with evergreens,
holly and laurel in way which its very
plainness made effective. A large Christ
mas tree with its glittering ornaments gave
point to the fact that this was thechildren's
festival. A fine program bad been ar
ranged, with .Songs of the Ages for it's
bases The Thorofare children have been
we'll trained, and sing we'll. 1t is only
just to say that much of the success of the
program is due to the indefatigable efforts
OF Miss Kizzie Wilkins in training the
children. Honor should be given, also, to
the superintendent, Mr.. L. K. Wilkins,
who has given his best Efforts during the
last twenty years to advance the interests
of the school; and the growth of the school;
is an evidenceof the success Of these efforts.
