CHRISTMAS EvE-ST. .IoMNS SAB
BATH SCmooL.-On Monday cvcnin"
last, we were extremely gratiiicd in
witnessing Il gathering of the Sunday
School children of st. Johns Chapel
under the devoted pastoral charge of the
Rev. ID. +. WiIlcs. The occasion WAS
one of deep interest and commcnd'
itself to that hearty good will and APP
prevail, cvinccl by the crowd of friends
and parents present.
In front of the chanccl was a bril-
liantly illuminated Christmas Tree,
from the numerous bouYhs and lnanchc;;
of which were suspended the almost
innumerblc fitting offerings dcsi gncd
tor presentation to the cXpcctant chill
dren. TOO much credit cannot be
awarded to the lady pa;roncsscs for
the taste, libcraity and deep chris
tian interest displayed, in the whole
arrangement. Aftcra short and very
appropriate church service, in which
the children prominently joined, the
distribution of the gifts took place, to
the evident deli ght of all assembled,
especially of the respective recipients.
One of the interesting features of the
occasion was the presence of the class of
Indian boys, who, we are pleased to
learn are rapidly acquiring the elements
of Christian education, and who by
the testimony of their teachers, make
excellent Sunday School scholars. May
we be permitted to say, we were de-
lighted to be witness Of this pleasant
scene, and may we express to each and
all of those who were actors therein,
our most cordial good wishes. May
God speed them!
