know that tko immigrant usually

as ask for this.
Furthermore, the two Snuday
schools of Canton have aa enter
tainment of some sort for the pnplls,
every May, inviting the schools* iun
picnic and general ei>j»ymeut.
There is a better piospect for a
grand success in this, the upproach-
ihg May, than has ever been before.
Now if those who feel an interest
in the progress of Sunday school*,
throughout tbf county, wilJ join.ua,
in a basket pic-nlc it would be pleas
ant indead.

ty exeevtive committee?
