Paul's cray (Kent), Between his busy morning and evening's services. formerly he used to conduct the usual children's service. Today he can sit back and confidently watch while his little parishioners ran the service them selves. So popular has the idea become that more and more children are coming along. and felling that they are really part of the church, join in with a devoted will, benefit in in all ways firm this novel idea. Five year old hand out the hymn books, tenders tug at the bell rope, and the chair is well filled. Older boys or girls take it in turns actually to conduct the service by reading the prayers and lessons. Only the parson delivers the address this is by general consent. But other children act as sidemen, do the collection and offertory, as well as pump the organ. thus has an enterprising clergyman stopped the rot of ever - decreasing congregations of Sunday school or children service run on the old style and has turned them into a bright, new, refreshing and spiritually valuable experience
