Children'S Day at
Emmanuel Church

The bright, balmy Sunday of June
Goth, brought an expectant crowd to
Emmanuel Church, near Horse Head thi
county. The occasion being Children
Day.
The church was artistically decorat
ed the altar and chancels with spread
ing palms and blooming hydrandeas
intersperced with pots of plants amid
trailing vines and cut j.. flowers. A l.
was the gift and design of Mr.. W. K. K
Counick whose soul must indeed be
attuned to the beautiful to produce
such aesthetic combinations in color
and form.
The program was instructive as will
as attractive. 1t was the work of work
of Mrs. Hamnill. the wife of the Super
iptendent of Teachers Training School
DR.. H. M. Hamill-so we'll known
abroad as well as at home for his
scholarly work.
Mr. j. S. Fowler, the Superintendent
cof the Sunday School had so patiently
and faithfully wrought, that every de-
tail was prepared all moved smoothly.
The professional Hymn was the
opening piece. The school formed in
lime, the sn allest children in front, and
sang in time to the music.
As soon as the song ceased the pas
tor, Rev. E. w. Brubaker, prayed al
the close of his prayer quartet from
the choir chanted softly the Lords
Prayer.
The Correcting" given by Katie Cross:
Maggie Richards. Dewy Groves, Ceci
Mayor, was indeed a happy welcome
from "the coming young men and
women"
Miss Lottie Richards gave in clear
intelligent recitation, the story of the
Palms and Praises of the children of
long ago. And little Miss Pearl Cage
with her deliberate manner and clear
articulation made US feel in her recita-
'tion of ''Giving and Taking that VT
should mot live for self alone"
A very unique exercise, was black
board chalk drawing Of a map OF
Palestine by little girl, Miss Edna
Connick. She outlined and filled il
the mountains, rivers, cities etc.
as the class sang the directions. The
work was not only correct copy OF
the Land of the King" but was don't
surprisingly on time with the song b.
the class
While we have not space to mentiol
all who recited and sang, we mus
mention our fair haired tot, Evf
Gemeny, who caught the thought OF
her recitation in such a cunning way,
as she pointed to her baby brother il
front of her and closed with, "What
shame he wasn't twin
The Holy City" was we'll rendered
by Miss Esther Gemeny.
The address by Miss Myrtle Watson
1.-THE Object Of Our Offering wa:
comprehensive no one could fail tt
understand how the money is to be ap-
piled in Sun day School work in foreign
lands, to needy Sunday Schools in oul
own>land. buying bibles and literature
for those too poor to supply themselves
aud help educate and train young mel
as preachers in our Church. Two little
ushers, Marie Cross and Lizzie Ais
returned with the collection plates will
qnite responsive collection and sant
the "Offering song
Six little boys and girls gave US
"Sunb beam Exercise" that was very
pleasing, the singing being led by Lizzie
Aist.
How fitting the Baptism sermon wa:
in the Children's Day. One little bab'
was brought by its young parents ant
was dedicated to the Lord by baptism
The music by the choir was uplifting
the Hosannas by the school seemed tt
eush from hearts full of praises.
The responsive Scripture readings by
classes were sufficient to teach thu
Scripture way of "Crowning our Bless
cd Savior with our Praises"
We feel sure the study and rendering
Of this program will make US more con-
scious of the fact that the Church mus
care for the moral traing of the future
army of men and women in our land
No one who has measured the magnl-
tude of the Sunday School movement
will dissent from the opinion that it is
to-day the largest factor in religious
forces of the world. MRS. J. p.
