CHILDREN S OUT CELEBRATED TURTLE DATES NIANT TEARS AGO^ REV, FINN ACCEPTS CALL HERE TOU AND TOUR FRIENDS ESSEN AND CHURCH WIN SUIT

Of Inu-rt-*! amt V*lur Were the KxrrvlBmi 1j»»i Sunday tCxmlng To u» oliler chl'dreo how kbort the time areuia since the June celebration of ''Children's Dav" of U*t year, but like a Ionic journey, and U la with anxioua preparalon* and pleaainit anticipations they approach the day that la eapecially art apart fur their lodulKcncr In rrlticiou* exerciaea of a nature auitable to tbetr Tears, and much aa are meant to impress their young minds with the importance of right llrlng and of glorifying tlod. the Father of the uniTarae. The HeSAt-D cannot attempt to glee apace at this time to an elaborate deacrip. Uon of the ration* exercise*, but It may suffice to *tatr that the-Preebvterian, the Methodist and the Baptist churches, of thla city, devoted laat Sunday evening to the presenting of excellent programmes appropriate to an occasion of thla kind. The smaller children were most prominently placed upon three programmes, which, with the addresses of their elders, the songs and choruses and the happy and encouraging words of the pastors, it U needless to say that the large audiences attendant upon each were most happily and profitably entertained, an impetus, we believe, being given to the Sunday-school work, whose Impress for good 1* felt from year to year. The floral decorations added beauty to the secne in all the churches, shedding their richest perfumes throughout the spacious rooms.
