and surrounded by large white
star. The pulpit had been converted INTO a
stage. an arch being erected in front con-
tanning curtains and decorated to resemble
a Yuletide scene, with ferns, tropical
leaves and grains, while the front of the
choir was similarly trimmed and contained

Mr.. Penniman. Among the tableauXs were

little folks getting big orange and pail
of candy.
