PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
At the First Presbyterian Churchy the
pastor, DIR. McClelland, delivered a SER
mon on Rights of Children He said
the children have right to maintenance
and education both intellectual and
physical. They should be trained that
in due time they may be self-sustaining
and independent, having acquired a trade
or business that will afford livelihood.
Above all they have a right to moral
and religious training. If they are not
moral and upright, they cannot succeed
in life. To be moral they need religion
and should become Christians. Parents
and teachers should grant them this
right, and if they fail then the church
are not deprived of them.
In the evening the Sunday school took
charge of the service. The church was
beautifully decorated with flowers, and
the singing of the school, led by Profess
sor Hazelton, superintendent, was very
good.
The recitations and songs by the chill
