conceived of. After an opening prayer
by the pastor. and appropriate music by
the School, the beautiful cantata was
rendered by select chorus of boys and
young misses, that had been carefully
trained by Miss Ella West, who presid-
ed at the organ on that occasion. Where
all done 80 well it would be invidious to
particularize suffice that everything
passed off effectively and pleasantly, and
at the appointed time the beautiful
Christmas tree, illuminated with wax
candles and ornamented with bright col
ored candy sacks and festoons of pop
corn, was revealed to the expectant
chiIdren-at the same time Old Santa
Claus sprang upon the stage, dressed in
furs and covered with toys. and was re
ceived with noisy demonstrations of
approval; after the distribution of 25O
sacks of candy to the members of the
school he took bis departure when the
we'll pleased audience was dismissed
with the benedictiOn.
At the Presbyterian church there was
musical and literary exercises and Santa
Claus appeared and treated the children
in good style.
