Sunday was a bright beautiful day, and
a large congregation attended the Metho
dist Church at 11 o'clock to take part in
the services devoted to the children of
the Sunday School. The edifice was pro
fusely decorated with flowers and ever
greens. On each side of the pulpit was a
hanging basket full of rare roses inter
twined with ferns, and on the wall in rear
of the pulpit inscribed in letters con
structed of box was "Suffer little children
to come unto me." The walls of the
church were adorned in tasteful lettering:
Faith, Love, Truth, Hope, Trust, Joy,
Charity, with a Cross and Anchor, sug
gestive of the text that "Upon this rock&I

"God's eye is upon you," in a sweet clear
voice.
