Lancaster Daily Intelligencer. (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928: January 01, 1880 January 1, 1880
Yesterday afternoon the colored children of the city were given a treat by the
children of the Rockland Street Undenominational Sunday school (white) in the
colored school building. The room in which the affair was held was decorated with
evergreens, flowers and mottoes, and it was filled with people both white and
colored. There were a number of white ladies present, from the best families of the
city, who took a great deal of interest in the little folks. A large tree and table
in the room were filled with good things. About 2 o'clock services began, which
included singing and addresses by A. C. Leonard and by Rev. Mr. Harris of A. M. E.
church. After the services the contents of the tree and table were distributed among
the little folks who were greatly pleased. The occasion was pleasant to all and the
parties who superintended the affair are deserving of great credit.
