short prayer by the pastor and singing by the
school, and brief address to them in reference to
the observance Of Christmas, bountful supply of
ice-cream and cakes was distributed among
them by their teachers and others OF the
church. Then came the fun Old Santa Claus
came bounding from bshind tho ocreen his
form fairly weighted down with the weight OF his
gifts which he proceeded 10 distribute among the
little folks, TO their intense delight Peals OF
laughter and screams of delight rang through the
lecture-room the presents few FIRST on one side
and then OH the other. IL Is well known that old
Santa Claus never has ,gifs for other than good
children. and as each little pupil received some
