WITH THE CHILDREN

THEIR EXCELLENCIES AT CHURCH Children who attended the morning Sunday School service at St. •George's Anglican Church last Sunday were thrilled to meet Their Excellencies on an informal basis outside the building. Once again Sir Cyril and Lady Newall showed, their warm friendliness with the little ones, and quickly made them feel at home in their presence. In the course of the service, His Excellency gave the scripture reading and the rapt, attention of the youthful congregation bore eloquent testimony to the vast impression which had been made by the presence of. the Dominion's Governor General and his gracious lady in their own church. Later when the service was over I their were further informal j£fsf : with Their Excellencies, who appear to thoroughly relish the company of the younger generation, and purposely go out of their way in order to gain their confidence and put them at their ease,. The occasion will long be lemembered by the children, all of whom excitedly recounted the incidents of the morning to their parents and to their schoolmates as they met them -_ on Monday morning.
