CHILDREN'S DAY.
Was Observed at Bachman Chapel
Fine Exercises by the Children
Much Interest.
Special to The Herald and News.

at Bachman c! APPEL.
For the past several weeks our
Bachman chapel people have been
looking forward for the fifth Sunday
in August, as this was the day desig-
mated to celebrate what is known as
''Children's day"
1t was our good pleasure to- be pres
ent and mingle with tie children, as
well as our friends and relatives.
Not long after the exercises began,
the church was filed to it's fullest ca
pacity and we were told that only
! about half the people could get in the
church
Pomaria, Little Mountain, Prosperity
and Newberry were all represented,
and we also noticed several from Co.
lumbia present
The exercises began at 1915 a. NJ,
with Mr.. Geo. I. Kinard, the superin-
tendent, who presided over the meet
ing with honor and credit to himself
and the school.
The devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by T. J. Wilson and the pro-
gram was carried out to perfection as
was published in The Herald and News
Of last Friday. To say that every boy
and girl acted well u2eir part would
be expressing it in a very mild form.
1t is gratifying to the writer to see
such marked improvement in their
church work generally among this lit
tie congregation.
The pastor, Rev. Y. Won A. Riser,
together with his devoted wife, deserve
much praise for their untiring faith
fulness and jealous work they are do
ing for this little flock.
At the conclusion of the morning ex-
ercises the superintendent requested
that all who had baskets to bring them
to the table and assured all present a
Hearty welcome.
After the contents of the baskets had
been spread upon the table there was
a bountiful repast for all.
But this was not the conclusion of
the service. At 1:3O as many as could
conveniently be seated reassembled in

with prayer by Mr. ]. A. G.. Kibler.
Col. E. H. tAull and Mr.. O-arley
Barre, the superintendent Of educa-
tion, had been invited to speak, who
were both present.
Col. Aull was the first speaker in
troduced and said that he always felt
an embarrassment to speak on such
occasions, or at least felt kind Of un-
worthiness. He said he was not going
to preach a sermon, but would take
a text. He selected for his text More
confidence and love among our people
at large t at We must teach that
our i,es stand for mo- \ than money
and we must cultivate a higher and
more noble opinion Of one another
than to think we are only as honest as
the laws and courts make US. So many
, laws have been passed that it is
hard matter to obey al Of EN-.
The only remedy to restore more
confding faith in each other is to ap-
ply one remedy, Glove. And so soon
as we become lovers Of one another
the seemingly impossible becomes pos
sible for these thousands Of years has
not been the history of kindness. but
of selis. mess.
We make by our distrust the thieves,
burglars and incendiaries and by our
courts and jails we keep them so.
wish 1 could give 1un account OF
MIR. Aull's speech, for it was full OF
good thoughts. He laid much stress
upon the importance of our getting out
of this dreadful habit of selfshness
and apply a little more self restraint,
and if we could only just stand aside
and watch ourselves go by, and think
of ourselves as "he" instead of 81"
; Mr.. Barre was the next speaker. His
line of thought consisted of the i'm
portance of a better system of train
ing among the young in every circle
of life and such system was being
organized and put into practice
throughout our d-urchland.
Mr.. Barre's speech was also full of
good thoughts and We are sure made
a good impression upon his hearers.
In fact he is young man of bright
intellect and a bright future awaits
him. -
