CHILDREN'S DAY
Beautifully Observed at N. E. Church
South Last Sunday.


The celebration OF Children's Day
at the NJ. E. Church South on Sun
day evening last was very beau
tiful affair. An elaborate program
had been prepared by committee
who had fine taste and much ex-
perience in such affairs. 1t had
been carefully and diligently re-
hearsed. The setting was admir-
able, and the material was tract
able and apt. So, with these neces-
sary factors furnished and at hand
the success of the entertainment
was assured. The time, the place
and the youthfulness of SO many of
the participants in the programme
limited the exercises to certain
lines, but with these limitations 1t
was surprising how very attractive
the occasion was made, In spite of
the intense heat the church was
packed SO that it was almost a
physical impossibility to get even
place to stand up, much less a place
in which to sit, and scores stood
on the outside, with more or less
patience, and looked and listened
as the various numbers were rend-
cred in a manner much above the
ordinary. The little ones, unabash-
ed by the crowd and undaunted by
the heat, acted well their parts, and
the older ones who had anything to
do or to say said and did 1t well.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion, and music lent
Its peculiar charms. The principal
number of the evening was strik-
