CHILDREN’S WEEK
APRIL 27 - MAY 3 

Children’s Week will be observed in Albany county April 27th to May 3rd. There will be sermons by the pastors, parents’ meetings, and story hours for the children. 

As a big feature, there will be a parade of the children of all the Protestant Sunday schools in the county at Albany, Saturday afternoon, May 3rd, at 3 o’clock. This will be an automobile parade, the autos being decorated as floats, representing a religious subject, a Biblical subject or a missionary subject. 

After the parade the children will form on the Capitol steps for a song service. 

As each group of children leave the autos for the song service, they must be fastened to their teacher by streamers or otherwise, that no child will be lost from his group. 

The aims of the parade are: 

1. To bring before the public the importance of religious education.

2. To create in other boys and girls the desire to want to belong to some Sunday school. 

3. To arouse parents to the religious needs of their children.
