of the regular preaching services. The
audience, filling every seat in the audi
torium and the Sunday school annex,
was royalty entertained by the little folks
in speeches, songs and dialogues, in
which q home-talent orchestra con
tributed much to the enjoyment of the
musical end of the program. Mrs Ben
jamin Kelly of Chicago, and Miss Edith
Arner, each very sweetly sang a solo.
The decorations were many, beautifully
and very tastefully arranged, and a pair
of sweet-singing canary birds were a
feature that added joy to the already
happy occasion. Much credit for the
faithful carrying out of the program is
due Miss Blanche Pease and Miss June
Herman who spent much time in training
the young folks in their various parts.
