At the appointed hour, the room was well filled with the children and with their teachers and friends. The music for the occasion had been arranged by Miss Caroline L. Low, who had also composed several of the pieces to which hymns were to be sung in' the Anniversary exercises Of the two schools. In preparation for the Easter services, the children had rehearsed their songs for several Sundays under the special direction of Mr. Ethelbert M. Low. A committee of ladies, appointed for the purpose, consisting of Miss S. Louise Sheldon, Mrs. Annie C.' Child, and Miss Emily T. Greene, had tastefully adorned the desk with a profusion 'of flowers, which, after the benediction, were distributed to the classes. The same committee had in charge the more elaborate decorations of the pulpit, font, tables and tablets Of the Church, whence, at a subsequent hour, many a welcome floral Offering was sent to the sick or afflicted ones of the Parish. Hundreds of these bouquets had been made the evening before in the basement of the Church by the young people.
