CnRIsTaAs.-lt would be easy, but utterly
useless, to express platitudes on Christmas.
Platitudes don't express Christmas, by any
means. There is a charm about il which
we all feel, but can never express. We
shall do wellto afford every opportunity for
the mysterious influence to soften and Gle.
va,e Us. Every observance which binds
our hearts more closely to our families, to
our friends, to humanity, and above all. to
the sacred memories Of the past, should be
cherished carefully and ardently.
The children Of our Sunday Schools will
not soon forget the pleasant surprises and
genial happiness Ct Christmas eve. The
Methodist, Baptist and Episcopal SCHOOLS
had fine Christmas trees loaded with a thou.
sand gifts Of friendship and affection. The
Methodist tree, a large symmetrical cedar.
was placed in the center of Morse's Hall,
which was croaded with smiling children
and spectators. The tree was literally loads
ed with beautiful things which required over
an hour for their distribution. Santa Claus
graced the occasion in all his glory. The
Methodist school is much the largest in the
city. The tree Of the Baptist school was a
pine placed next to the pulpit Of the church,
and loaded so heavily with choice presents
rs TO nearly break down its safeguarding
limbs. Santa Claus was here, also. TO the
great delight OF the children. The Episco-
pal school hand two fac trees, one cedar and
the other pine. Four prizes were awarded
scholars for faithful attendance during the
preceding year. Singing and other exer-
cises enlivened the occasion and rendered it
the happy event which the Episcopals never
fail to secure.
The Presbyterian school had no tree this
year.
