Spoke to Children.

A special service was held at the M. B. church Sunday at 1.30 o'clock for the children who have no church to attend. There were about twenty little ones present, and Rev. MT. French gave them a heart to heart talk. He took for the subject of his talk, Walking with Jesus. Rev. MT. French told the children that they should walk with Jesus and do his every bidding. Assisted by Robert McNeely he showed them how some people followed him at a distance, how others started to walk with Jesus and then suddenly Jagged behind or stopped altogether. He told his little listeners that they should walk with Jesus and walk always with him. He concluded by asking the children if they would not talk to their little friends and get them to attend the next meeting.
 MT. Robbins of Preston City ren. dered several beautiful violin solos ant also furnished the music for the hymns. Mrs. French sang He vii Not Forget Me, and the children were much pleased with her singing. Rev Mir. French will meet the childrer again Thursday afternoon at the close of school.
