The missionary exercises OF the
children at Sunday school Sunday
were enjoyed by all. The song and
reading by little three-year-old Floyd
Novel; was fine. The reading by Miss
Kathryn Duggan was one OF the best
numbers, as also was the reading by
Miss Edna Mae Turner. The two prl-
mary songs were rendered sweetly by
the little tots, who put much enthu-
siasm in them. Little Miss Turner
sang a solo nicely, in a sweet childish
voice. She was accompanied in sing
ing bv the violin, which also accom-
panied all the songs. A liberal collec-
ton was taken by two of our sweet
Sunday school girls, Kathryn Dug
gan and jamie Cocker.
