OUR CHILDRENS DAY
A Very Pleasing Program Rem
dered at Bethesda s S.
THE WEE ONES DID WELL

THE WEE ONES DID WELL
Childhood never looked loT slier, or
sweeter, than on last Sunday morning
when the little ones of the Inf ant De-
partment of the Methodist Sunday
School delighted the goodly sizdd audi
ence which had met to hear ind see
them "play their parts"!
Each lad, each lassie, was neatly
dressed, the girls in white, commonly
tricked out with fetching blue ton kknots,
with now and then pink one.
Their neat, handsome appearance re-
fleets much credit upon the pains and
taste of their loving mothers.
We regret that through some strange
mishap our M. S. S., note book and
all, have been lost, and we were able
only to get the morning program.
We must write, however, that the
wee actors did unusually well, spoke
clearly, knew their parts, and looked
handsome as pictures. Some Of the
tiny orators provoked not little amuse-
ment by their cunning speeches and
gestures.
Some one had taken no end of trouble
in training them, and we rather think
we can guess who, but these are war
times, and,our report has been censored
at this point
Miss Anna Denny played the organ
nicely for the little folks whose singing,
solos, duos and the whole school, was
excellent
The Chancel was beautifully trimmed
with ferns, palms and flowers.
In the evening an equally admirable
program was given by the senior mem
bers of the School wherein were many
beautiful features. The boys spoke
their lines bravely, and their big squad
did some fine drill work, as also did the
IL or more girls in white, executing
series of evolutions and formations very
pleasing to behold.
The senior recitations and songs also
showed the diligent training of Mrs.
Helen Armstrong. The organ was
finely played in the evening by Miss
Prudence Lewes, and the singing was
superb.
The sight IN the evening" from the
gallery was lovely one a sea of spring
bonnets and light hued summer wear,
offset by the dark green of the plants
massed sin the foreground, the whole
packed auditorium, below, in the gal
lery and ases, brilliantly lighted by the
comely ceiling electrics.
Mr. M. B. Burria, Superintendent of
the School, read the two programs and
in the evening, made brief address,
congratulating the teachers and school
upon their successful labors.
To Mr. Charles Stewart is due much
of the credit for the exceptionally tune
full musical program, not only for his
own fine singing but for his skillful
leadership.
The Rev DIR. Wyatt made, morning
and evening an instructive address on
christian Education. Good collections
were taken on both occasions.
