Thanks to the work of the Sunday School staff, the programme was put through smoothly and promptly. At the close of the programme, the superintendent minister, the Rev. H. S. Kings, complimented ' the Sunday School children on their fine performance and thanked the judges and.the accompaniste for their painstaking and efficient work so ’graciously given to help the children.
