But this Is not tbo Uwt A whole Hun day in tbo year Is given up entirely to chil dren. No one knows whero tlio plan originat ed, nor whose happy thought It was to bavo tbo day u Sunday in early summor, thus link ing children with (lowers. Homo churches call it June Sunday, somo Floral Sunday, but whatever tbo namo It Is always wholly the Children's day. Thoro aro two things iuscpuiahlt connected with tho celebration of this day (lowers and musical exercise Tho floiul decoration hi city churches aro often lavish and oxcpilsito. Sometimes tlio pulpit platform is enlarged, so that tho Infant class can sit Uhu it, each row higher than tbo ono in front, tho chil dren, In their jwilo coloicil and white cos tumes, looking not unlike a termer-of (lowers. Klalsirate exercises sometimes Include tbo construction of a largo (loral pli-cc, each jwirt being brought by ono pupil and lilted in its placo. It may lion ship or a lighthouse or a uiatmuoth Iliblo or s.-rhaps a cross. In many ensoa tbo pieces which form tho wbolo are tbo glfta of dlllerent classes, tliougb some times tbo cXcnso Is horuo by tbo church. Hoveral years ago tho pastor of a prominent Methodist church in this city preached on tho morning of Children's day a ser mon on "Flowers; Their lullucm-o and Iajsmoiis," the text being "Consider tho llllos." Tbo afternoon was devoted to exorcises by tho primiuy department. In tbo evening, general exercises of song and Scripture reading, recitations and addresses: took place, tho chief feature of which was tho erection of a miniature floral church on the platform. Each piecowaseoutributedby a Sunday school class. When finished theedl- A DKCOKATRD WINDOW. flcu wasu pretty sight, being furnished with an organ, stained glass windows, liuns and a spire twelve feet high, with a bell. When tlio pnx-ess of building was ended n pupil reclttsi "Slimmer Evening Musing," and, as she proceeded, tbo lights of tho largo church were lowered, those in tho miniature ono were lighted, tho boll begun to sound and tho organ played softly. Then an unset-n choir sang softly, "I Live Thy Church, O Ood." As a rulo tlio majority of dowers and potted plants are dMhcred around tlio pulpit, but ono school at least lias adopts) a plan by which tho decoration, tbo oxs-uso and tho work aro distributed, Tho largo church con tains perhaps a dozen windows, and to eueli of tbo several clasv is av.igne.1 the task of ducomtuig.0110 window as tho mcuiU-rs seo lit.
