The ‘‘Child's Prayer", ih song, so effectively peered by Blanche Alter, was beautiful and seemfed tB touch the heart and awaken a devotional spirit in every person present. It is the expectation to make these concerts a more frequent feature of our Sabbath school work in future. If properly conducted and confined strictly to exercises appropriate to the time and place, they cannot fail to do good. • Bev.
