Shriver, superintendent, in a concise manner
expressed the hope that all would be pleased
with the presents they were about to re.

OF the little ones had patiently waited-the
time for distributing the gifts. Many were the
little hands that could DO seen stretched for.

SUNDAY ScnooG ANStvgRsARY.-Th
Chapel is a beautiful little Methodist Episco-
pal Church, situated on the Gorsnch Road,
about two and half miles from Westminster.
1t was dedicated in October, 1873, and was
connected with the Centenary NJ. Z. Church,
under the pastorateo of Rev. c. II. Richardson.
until last March. Ii was thsn made station,
and Raw. W. Mex. Hammack was appointed
pastor. As quite a fine Sunday School has
sprung up in connection with the chapel, i.
was deemed very appropriate that an ahniyer.
Aary should 10 held, and arrangements were
therefore made for holding one on Christmas
afternoon. During Christmas week the la.
dies Of the congregation we're called together,
and under their supervision the church W as
very tastefully decorated with eyergreens.
Over the entrance was inscribed the word
Charity" and over the pulpit tho motto
Glory 70 God In the Highest = ON the
pulpit platform large Christmas tree was
placed, well loaded with gifts for the Sunday
School children IN front Of the tree an arch
OF overgreens was erected upon the walls
wreathes we're suspended, and the room 9th
erwlso beautifully decorated. By one o. clock
Christmas afternoon crowds Of children and
adults might have been seen vending their
way toward the church; aud by two O. clohk,
the hour announced for the commencement
OF the exercises, every seat was occupied and
many persons were compelled to stand. The
exercises were opened with the singing OF
a selection from Pure Gold,n entitled ''Hold
On = then followed a prayer by the pastor ;
after which Wake the Song was sung; this
was followed by a series Of exercises consist.
ing of dialogues, recitations aud singing Of
selections from " Pure Gold.n The scholars
did very we'll, and tho audience appeared 10
be highly gratifed. At tho conclusion OF
these exercises the school was called up by
classes. and the gifts were taken from the
tree and distributed. Each scholar received
a nice present, in addition to share of candy
and nuts Dolls were given to the smallest
giris, trumpets 70 the smallest boys, and books
TO the larger children. Everybody was Meas,
ed, aud came away feeling that the afternoon
had been very pleasantly spent. We hope
they may have many more such occasions al
the chapel.
