FINE MUSIC AND SPEAKING
On last Sunday evening the Presby-
terian Sunday School held their
Children's Day exercises IN the Forest
Church. At haif-past seven the School
began its march from the lower room
to the big auditorium above, several
dozen little boys and girls, all clad in
white heading the procession all smiles
and good nature, followed by the older
boys and girls, the young ladies and
last of all by the teachers and officers
of the school.
They made pretty picture as they
passed up the aisle and took the front
seats near the flowers, the little girls
costumed in snowy dresses tied with
big pink or blue sashes, and blue or
pink topknots on their happy heads.
The chancel and the choir rail
ing were handsomely ornamented with
flowers and plants and the little organ
played by Mrs. Poole for the little
singers, held number of pretty bou-
quets.
After prayer by the pastor Rev. F..
H. Moore, responsive scripture read
ings were given by the superintendent
Mr.. Fletcher Deakyne, and the school.
Thereupon pleasing program follow
ed citations, and songs, duets, and
choruses by the scholars, little tots and
elder ones, who spoke and sang their
parts in a way that greatly pleased
their audience that filled the church
and gallery.
The little grille performers looked
very sweet in their pretty summer cos
tunes, their smiling faces radiating
happiness, as they "played their parts
on the stage made by the pastors re-
moved pulpit and chairs, and the little
knickerbocker lads, though far out
numbered by the lassies, looked neat
and manly and also did their parts well.
The pastor made a short address
wherein he set out the Sunday School
needs of certain portions of the country
and told of the work being done in theil
behalf in the past year -109, 600 fami
lies visited, 10000 Bibles distributed

sides 5000 Mission Sunday Schools have
had over 2200 conversions-all the work
of 13l missionaries on the plains OF
the Vest "These Sunday Schools

of Churches which finally become self
supporting and independent. Let US
