Sunday School Day at Trinity.

Trinity Methodist church believes
in observing special days. When our
general Sunday school board demands
that what used to be known as chill
dren's day, but which name has Deen
CHANGED to Sunday school day, en-
bracing all stages of human life from
the cradle to the grave, be observed
yearly heNceforth, we loyal Method
lists can but obey.
= It was our pleasure and privilege
last Sunday to walk into our church
which had been beautiied with lovely
spring flowers and pot plants. COL
onel Duncan was in charge OF the
decorations and right we'll did he
perform his part The ones who look
to this special part of any exercises
have no small contribution to make.
Our programme wrapped itself
about the subject, ''the Sunday school
and the efficient church of the fu-
ture.'' A piano selection by Mrs.
Move. ACCOMPANIED by G. E. Black on
the cello, was much enjoyed. Prayer
was offered by our pastor. The SEN
ior department was first introduced,
and a number of Carlisle's manly
fellows. in short we'll selected words,
brought to US the aim of this depart
ment of an organized Sunday school.
Just following this, two younger fell
lows from Carlisle asked and answer
ed questions about the intermediate
department, that vitality important
part of a Sunday school that deals
with the strategic period when so
many boys and girls are lost to the
church school. Captain Lever SAID
a few words and gave us an illustra-
tion from colored life that should
long linger in our minds. He brought
to US emphatically what is the aim
of the ORGANIZED Bible classes. A
number of boys then spoke of the
work of which they have part.
The beginners and primaries came
upon the rostrum and through songs
and other things they did and the we'll
rendered story told them by Miss
Van Landingham, we got some idea
of what is being done in this i'm
portant department. The choir gave
pretty song and the congregation
ioined them in other songs. The
juniors, under the inspiration and
direction of their leader, Mrs. N. T.
Johnson, and some of their teachers,
rendered their part of the programme
in a thoroughly interesting, enter
tanning manner. Truly, " the junior
age is the golden period of memory. "
All who work for and with the jun
iors should welcome each opportun-
itv to make this true in each precious
life.
The home department aud the
adult department members were ask
ed to stand. This was their part OF
the exercises. Surely that did not
cost anyone much.
Mrs. Rhoad, superintendent Of the
cradle roll, made very encouraging
report of this part of our work-tak-
ing the child at the earliest age and
connecting him with the school Of the
church.
J. Carl Kearse made good address
on, ''the Sunday school and the new
day" Verify old things have passed
away, and We live in different, a
more enlightened social age.
AS we were combining mothers
day with Sunday school day, We wert
favored with a splendid address Oh
mother by R. P. Bellinger. He had
the close attention of his hearers
while he lovingly and beautifully
spoke of our dearest friend, mother
After a prayer, our first Sunday
school day passed into history along
with many chi1dren's davs.-Contri5
uted.
