Vacation School Starts at St. Paul's On July 28 the boys and girls of St. Paui's United Church will have the opportunity of attending a Church Vacation School. The schooi, which will continue for ten days, wil be the first of its kind to be held in Bowmanville, but ' many similar schools have been conducted in rural areas, villages, towns and cities of On- tario and aiways successfully. The idea behind the Church Vacation School is ta give children from four ta twelve years o! age some- thing worthwhiie to do during vacation days whcn time hangs heavily on their hands. The pro- gram provided neyer fails ta de- ligbt boys and girls and most mothers are overjoyed te have their children occupied in a con- structive way under trustworthy leaders. It is expected, therefore, that a large proportion of the boys and girls connected with St. Paui's United Church and Sunday School will attend the School. Each day the session wiil begm at nine o'ciock and wiil continue until eieven-thirty. The child- ren first join in singing favorite sangs and bymns. occasionally learning new ones, a feature of the school wbich is always popu- lar. They are divided inte primn- ary and junior departments for learning more about Jesus and i-s way of living. Games of many kinds provide relaxation from study and then the whole school camne together for the worship of God in hymns, prayer and stories. Finally boys and girls separate in- to groups for bandcraft, which oc- cupies the last hour of the morn- ing-and what boy or girl does flot enjoy making things? Other activities such as picnics, Bible story drarnatization, and story- telling, will be worked in as op- portunity offers. Altogether a happy time is assured for ail who attend the school.
