Japanese men. they had never seen.
Marriage was arranged by correspond

was caused that the japanese called

Tho Junior church of the KaAsas
Avenue Methodist church is a depart
ment devoted to the children OF the
church to keep up their interest in the
church and to form habit of church
attendance. This department has
been organized for over two years.
Miss Laura Beverly, its organizer, had
the hearty support of the Rev. Mr..
Scheer, at that time pastor of the
Kansas Avenue Methodist church.
Miss Beverly Is teacher in Quincy
school and has the faculty of inter-
esting children and gaining their con-
fidence,
The Junior church service is held at
the same hour as the regular morn
ing service, and follows, as closely as
possible. the order of the church serv-
ice. Miss Beverly chooses text and
makes a short talk within the under
standing of her youthful congregation,
who have come directly from the Sun
day school classes.
The results OF this. innovation seems
10 be an answer to the question of
how the young people can be brought
10 take an interest in the church sery-
ices. BY following this plan, the
younger children become accustomed
TO church attendance and a few years
later are able to give Intelligent atten-
ton to the regular church service and
enjoy their part therein.
The enrollment OF the Junior church
numbers 150 and the average attend
ance is over 100.
