Splendid Programme
Presented at rinity

A programme Of unusual Interest
and beauty was rendered Sunday
morning at Trinity Methodist church
by the Sunday school. A large and ap
preciative audience was present. Fol-
several years "children's day" has
given place to Sunday school day. In
this every department of Sunday
school work from the cradle to olu
age is brought before the public. The
theme for this days service was
"life's unfolding.' The purpose cf
| this was to give a picture of the de-
| velop:aent of the child through the
| formation periods and to present the
aims of the Sunday school in guild
| ing his developments in Christian
character. The professional and w
rious other musical numbers were
rendered by Mrs. Roy Cooner and
greatly enjoyed by all. William Lam
der acted as herald throughout the
programme and announced the diff
ferent stages of life as they unfold
| ed.
First, the cradle roll: A mother
| with her little ones grouped about
her, while voice softly sang sweet
lullaby. This was indeed striking
picture of what the Sunday school is
doing for our babies.
The; beginners, primary and juniors
each in their turn presented beauti-
full tableaux illustrating their depart
ments, which reflected much credit
on the ones who trained them.
In the intermediate department,
loyalty, youth and service stand side
by side. Loyalty is just and true but
cannot stand alone; service must be
forever by her side; youth asked to
have his feet directed along the path
way of life and to show him how he
can best serve his fellowman. Ser
vice tells youth that she can answer
his question best by showing him
what one man did for his neighbor.
The parable of the good Samaritan
was staged and wonderfully carried
out by the Jewish merchant, robbers,
Levite, priest and good Samaritan.
The decorating committee, having ar
ranged the rostrum to represent a
rough wood, and the improvised inn
with the keeper standing in the door
with all the characters dressed in or
iental costumes, made the play very
effective.
We were made to realize that if we
live our lives to the fullest, we must
have purity Of heart, be loyal to
Christ, and in service to the ones who
need US most-''our neighbors.

ed their work. Life at it's best is
the motto that is being used by this
group throughout the Sunday school
of our church. They have accepted
this motto and are trying to live it
as it should be, but sometimes the
vision is not as clear as it should be.
A young lady in Grecian costume rep
resented vision; she introduced her
brother, opportunity, who with open
ed eyes would point out to them paths
to their goal. He made it clear that
there were no limitations to their op-
portunities. God is calling them to
do something worth while. They
hold the possibilities of the coming
years in their hands.
The last unfolding in the stage or
life was the old people in the home.
This was beautifully and impressive
" brought to the audience by Miss
Nellie :McCants in a reading called
"home."
The programme was interspersed
with songs, responsive readings, short
talks by the superintendent, pastor
and Col. w. C. Duncan, who empha-
sized the need of the teachers train
ing class.
The Sunday school is indebted to
the committees who planned and
made this splendid programme posi-
ble, and to each and every young
person who so cheerfully did his and
her t.-Contributed.
