There was a parade of the smaller
children at 7 oclock, Mrs W. A. Du-
Pre and Mrs. J. D. Anderson having

this parade was won by six year old
Dorothy Potts, who made a pretty

Mention should be made of Miss

anxieties of other peoples,- the lesson
that we are blessed above all people,
living our lives jn quietness and peace

to kill the complaining spirit and let
our lives be sermons of thankfulness
to God. We should resolve to give to
every need,and to do it gladly and joy
