The Sabbath school of this church,
d. SDeer, Esq, Superintendent, are
getting ready for nice time, in
tending to have their annual holiday
entertainment on New Years
night, instead of Christmas. There
will be carols, presentations, address
es and recitations. The larger school,
with pastor, superintendent and
Major Bristor, are preparing some
surprises for the Infant Department,
ETC., etc. The young people and la
dies are making great preparations
for grand literary, musical and So
cial entertainment, with supper, to
be held in the audience and lecture
rooms on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday evenings, Dec. q, IS and 20.
The tickets are going, going all over
the city. Between 500 and 1000 ale
going. They are going like hot buck
wheats with butter on cold morn
ing. Is it strange ? Editors, call in
your ''Imps" and tell them, listen
boys music, recitations, Hindoo
scenes, juggernaut, a good time So
cially, nice people, then good sup
per to crown the whole-all for 25
cents. We understand that some
ge-hearted citizens are getting
tickets by the dollars worth to give
to their friends and to the poor.
They get the largest amount of good
generous cheer and true gladness for
the smallest money in this way.
The ladies, etc., of the church de-
serve the grand success which seems
to crown their efforts.
