Yesterday was Children' Day, and
the festival was quite generally ob
served by the Methodist, Presbyterian
ar.d Baptist churches throughout the
city. In those churches where the
morning was chosen for the observ
ance, the rain lessened the attendance,
but not the ard r of the Sunday school
scholars nor the beauty of the varied
programmes.
At the Second Presbyterian church
the exercises, which were given In the
murnlnp. were of a high order and were
under the direction of J. M. Chance.
The beautiful cantata, "Under the
Pttlms," by George P. Itoot, was the ae
lection rendered by a chorus of sixty
children, the church quartette of mixed
and men's voices, the choir and the
choral society. The cantata represent
the return of the Jews from captivity
In liabylon during the reign of Cyrus.
The children's choruses were beauti
fully given and showed thorough train
ing. The work of the adult singers was
artistic. .Misses lflack,' daragan, Bey-
nun arid. Morgan were the soloists and
their singing separately as well as in
the 'quartette was of a finished vtyle.
The selection, "P.y the Dark
Euphrates Stream," by Mlsa Oaragan
and the quartette of men's voices, con
sisting of Messrs. Croft, ltunyon, Hol
conib and Dryer, was a charming num
ber.

and arranged throughout the church
were ralms and jnrs of flowers In full

of Bev. Dr. James A. Worden, of the

to this Alls the pulpit of a little country
church at Ledgewood, preaching on
Sundays from the pulpit and the other
days of the week from the sanctum.
Yesterday's attendance was made up
almost entirely of former parishoncrs
and on this account Dr. Spencer devoted
a good portion of the time taken up
by his talk to touching references to his
labor here and the many and diversi
fied memories, which their faces brought
back to him. The sermon proper was on
the text: "Unto you, young man, be
cause ye are strong;" John 14:2, and was
one of those same eloquent strong ser
mons that were wont to fill Penn Ave
nue Baptist church, Sunday after Sun
day, when he was pastor there. Many
of those who formerly enjoyed his
preaching, were not content with hear
ing him yesterday afternoon but went to
the West Side again In the evening,
where he filled the pulpit of the Jack
son Street Baptist church, which upon
hearing that he was In the city extended
him an Invitation to conduct the eveuing
service.

formal reception and Dr. Spencer was
kept until nearly 6 o'clock shaking
