occasion being the annual exercises Of the
Sunday school, and the distributiOn OF the
presents for scholars and teachers from q
magnificent Christmas Tree, which had
been arranged for the entertainment OF the
many little iOlks OF this d%OuFlshing parish.

programme, interpreted with songs, adj
dresses and passages from scripture, Oc.
oupied about half an hour, when the
school passed out Of the church aud re-
entered the Sunday School room In the
basement OF the building.
Here the preparations made for the
children were sufficient 10 please all, and
several gentlemen we're appointed to cali
out the names 10 whom the various articles
we're addressed. Though the school 10
composed OF quite two hundred scholars
and L achers, there was not one OF either
who did not 6nd some little memen.O for
the n. The children were highly delighted
With the entire programme, and their
pleasure was fully enjoyed by their many
parents and friends who had remained n
see the happy faces Of their little friends.
The HERALD can but wish them all a hap
py Christmas, and many returns OF the
annual Tree, which for years has been one
OF the institutions Of this particular school.
