The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-10-07

/ Rally day exercises were held at the
Methodist church last Sunday following
the morning service and holy communion
A large number were present and those
who were absent missed a treat. Several
of the classes took some part in the ex-
ercises, but the most interesting was the
part taken by the superintendent, G.. b.
| Hopkins, and the younger members of
the Sunday school, Mr.. Hopkins had
painted background, which was placed
before the school and then as his or her
number was called each little child went
forward with part of picture which
Mr.. Hopkins put in place. The picture,
when completed showed the front of
Grace church. Then Mr.. Hopkins gave
the children a little talk about their
making pictures by their lives and that
any wrong act or word would mar the
picture, and made it plain to them by
removing part of the picture Just com
pleted, which, Of course, married its
beauty. Several Of the pupils from the
primary room were promoted to the
main room. All the children, as well as
the older ones, went home feeling glad
to be d member of the Sunday school.
