How grateful all are for the coming of spring with the glory of the daffodils! In the Methodist church on Sunday morning this sentiment of praise is to find expression in a floral festival service. it is expected that the church will be decorated with an abundance of seasonal blooms. After the service floral tokens and greetings will be sent lo sick and invalid people, who are debarred from attending Divine Worship. A Keen Team of Boys. The juvenile section of the Krank- ! hri Gymnastic Club, under Mi- D. Scott, |is making splendid progress. So keen are the young folk that it was found necessary to restrict ‘enrolments this year to the ages of those between in and 17 years, in I act there have been so many offering' that accommodation has been overtaxed. The youngsters are given a varied programme which they appear lo enjoy. The class is held once a week between (’> and 7.M0 p m. and seldom does a night pass that there is not a full attendance. To- ' ward the end of the season it is ex- I peeled that the boys and their parents j will he entertained at a hampiet when the boys will conduct the whole pro- 1 readings. Those responsible for this physical cujlure class are to be com- * plimented on the good work being undertaken. All interested in the boys I should attend Taylor’s hall on Monday, evenings lo see the nature of the work , they are doing. ' 1
