The children OF the Second Presbyterian
Sabbath School had jolly good time at
the church last evening. A special ser
vice Of song was held, in which the little
folks took an active part, and after other
interesting services the presents were dis
tributed, much TO the delight OF all. Under
the careful management OF the managers
OF the church, none were forgotten, and
they were all made happy by the bounti.

At the Thomson NJ. II. Church, on the
Island, the members Of the Sabbath School
celebrated their annual Christmas festival
last evening. There was a large crowd In
attendance, including many older and
wiser heads, who apparently enjoyed the
occasion quite as much as the Juveniles.
The exercises OF the evening consisted oil
literary and musical performances, which,
although generally impromptu, were high
ly enjoyed by the audience. The distri-
button OF presents, however, was the most
interesting feature OF the evenings enter
tainment, and was no doubt the most i'm
portant to the happy children who had
assembled to receive their annual visit
from Santa Claus. lH2ig 2.,,1
