CHlLDREN'S DAY
Annual Function Held at Baptist and
NJ. Il. Churches sunday


Children's day has come to be recog
nized as one Of the bright spots in the
regular work Of the Sunday school through
out the land in nearly all Of the denomina
tions. 1t is day specially assigned fol
the help of the rising generations to dc
their part in the great missionary work
that is becoming world wide in its scope
and is bearing the gospel message to al
portions of the world and Sunday the
Methodist and Baptist societies had their
exercises along that line.
At the Methodist church the exercises
were held in the morning at the hour for
regular service and goodly crowd was
in attendance. The program consisted oi
songs, recltations and class exercises and
was very pretty indeed A song by little
Helen Morris and lullaby song by Helen
Hudson were pretty features Of the pro-
gram and duet by the Misses Leota and
Leila Hook was also well received. At
the close of the program several persons,
including a number of infants, were bap-
tized, quite few were received into the
church on probation and others by letter
from other churches. On the whole it
was a memorable day for the church and
Sunday school.
The Baptist society held their exercises
in the evening and drew packed house
Their program consisted of numerous
recitations songs, readings, class exer-
cises, etc, and a short address by the
pastor, Rev. c. E. Maxfield A very
pretty number on the program was a
class exercise in which number of young
ladies planted flowers and ferns in the
garden of the heart, each flower planted
being suggestive of some noble attribute
in the human life.
The Baptist chapel on the North Side
was the scene of nice childrens day
observance on Sunday afternoon at 8
o'clock. A fine program Of singing speak
ing and exercises were rencered and Rev.
Maxfield gave a brief address, telling
what became of the funds raised on chill
dren's day. Those who have charge Of
the work over there certainly deserve
much credit for what they are accom-
plishing in the way Of keeping up nice
bright little Sunday school.
The Congregational Sunday school is
working on their program, which will be
held in their church on Sunday morning
next, and a goodly attendance is hoped
for. The object is certainlye, commend
able one and it is hoped that the results
Of their children's day next Sunday may
be greater than ever.

ton. The funeral was held from the
home of Mr.. Brink today. large number
