IN a. manner worthy of mention Rev. H.
l. l.. Nichols, pastor of the church, preached
a sermon to the children taking for his
text the question asked by the people
concerning John the, Baptist swhen he5was
yet child: What manner of child shall
this be-" Mr.. Nichols wildly presented
to the minds of childhood and age the pic
ture IA Tug Of War" and illustrated how
the forces of good are evil were in battle
for the child life: he pictured evil in it's
various phaseA with the allurements and
attractions offered whereby the safety of
the child was often held in the balance,
and how that every energy was needed
both upon the part of the child and those
who would care for childhood, should be
used in order that good might outweigh
the evil and place the child upon the side
of God and the right. 1t was a strong
sermon. At the close of the sermon three
infants were presented by their parents
for baptism, in accordance with the i'm
pressive ritual of the Methodist church.
At night there was a continuance of the
exercises when the children gave con-
cert of music, recitations, etc, from Il

was obtained by the visitors in the early
innings of the game for the local boys to
overcome. Fuller was unable to do JUS

poor form. Toward the latter part of the
game he steadied down considerably and
closed something like his usual pitching

tional church, where the services were
in keeping with Children's day. The

children being perfectly at ease in their
respective parts. girls from Baker Hall
of the State Industrial School taking very
active part in the exercises. At this
church close attention is given to the
graduation of the school At 10 years of
age the children are taken off the cradle
roll and advanced into the higher classes
and so with other classes there is a sys-
tematic promotion all along the line, and
this taking place on Childrens day adds
interest thereto. One class was present

ately touching remarks. One infant was
