CHILDREN’S DAY AT BARKLEY

The observance of Children’s day last Sunday was very successfully planned and carried out. The church was most beautifully decorated, this work being done by the young people’s class of the Sunday school. The program given in the forenoon equid not be surpassed. The little folks carried out their part in the program almost to perfection. The choir and male quartet added to the program their part In several beautiful selections. A beautiful part of the program was the baptismal service when Rev. Dean baptized several babies and small children. After the conclusion of the program a basket dinner was enjoyed. Then at 2 o’clock Hon. W. I*. Wood of Rensselaer gave an inspiring address on “vision and Service.” It was a big day for Barkley and the committees who had charge of the event deserve a great amount of credit for their work. **
