A class of small children in Mc- Donough Institute were recently instructed to write their ideas of a bird party. Among the produc tions returned was this from an 8-year-old boy: “Once l was walking through the woods and I saw a company of birds having a party. There were about 9,000 sparrows, 8,000 crows, 7,000 cat birds, 0,000 jays, S,(XX) thrushes, 4,000 orioles, 3,000 larks, and 2,000 wood peckers, 25 bald eagles were giving the party. “These 25 bald eagles had gotten about 5,000,000 cans of ice cream. The eagles sail, ‘We are to have a race.’ So they had the race and Jim Woodpecker beat. They gave him a red cap. ‘Now,’ the eagle said, ‘we’ll play hide and seek, and Janie Sparrow will count.’ “The birds were called together by the eagles and had dinner. They had ice cream, strawberries, and peaches. After dinner the birds went home, and the doctor was busv for a week.” Ideal S. S. Rally. * The S. S. meeting of the North i ern Division held at Kelleytown on the sth Sunday in April was a great success. An unusually large crowd was present and the day was idea!. The talks b> all on the program were deeply spiritual and much enjoyed. Messrs. Austin, Carmichael, Walker and Bro. Lid dell gave us fine talks in the fore noon, interpersed by music. Bro. Liddell’s text was, “Follow Me.” and his sermon was practical to daily life and applied to our S. S. usefulness. Then, that dinner! What an appetizing sight to look upon that table. Many expressed the opin ion that they never saw so much food on the same space of table before. The good ladies of Kel leytown and community are to be congratulated and thanked for that splendid dinner. Just after dinner we had 40 minutes of as good singing as you most ever hear<3, led by Messrs. Calloway, Crumbley and Riltv. We gave singing an important place and it was effective. Rev. H. S. Smith gave us as he alone can, upon the subject, “Stragetic Element of Opportuni ty.” You can never fullv appre ciate his thoughts and applications if you did not hear him. After him, Bro. Milam, Bro. Austin and Bro. Bellah gave us splendid Sun day school talks and reports. It was a day of reflection, in spiration and pledge making to be of more service to the church through the Sunday school. We were proud to notice that two or three schools had reached the 100 per cent standard, and the school at Kelleytown was one of them. We believe that this was one of the best meetings ever held in this division or in the country. May the Sunday school course continue to grow and prosper in our county. H.
