Inc NJ. Z. church was very hand
somely decorated for the Christmas
exercises Monday evening, and the
program was web carried out. The
exercises were different from any here

as receiving, and Santa Claus took
from his sleigh a large box and placed

snort OF presents this year, and asked

congregation responded literally, and
IL was found that the box containedd
not only fine variety of presents. in
ciud:ng a bountiful supply of candies
ana nuts, but quite sum of money
with which the proper committee
could buy more, to be given to those
who would have received but little or
nothing had this plan not been adopt
ed. We hope this idea may 1e kept up
through all time to come. No matter
What your program may be, always in
clude the box for the poorer classes.
1t IS right and proper that those who
receive should also give, and it is a
principle that we should teach our
children most thoroughly. for there is
no vice known to man that VIII make

life as that OF seldshness. After these
gifts had been bestowed, old Santa
Claus UnloIded other boxes and bar

by the older ones, and to Mrs IIinck-

hearty thanks for their assistance in
carrying out this part in the change Of
program, their singing was fine indeed;
and our thanks eNt2nd equally as well
to Miss May Maxim and Mr.. \. Z.

was the best arranged and executed
program of the kind we have ever had,
and we hope the new system may be
maintained on future occasions.

CEzEzEST-IAS AT POPLAR.

Our friends at Poplar River were
not behind their city neishhors in the
observance Of the festive season. The
ladies out there had beautifully decor
ated their pretty school room, at one
END of which was a superb Christmas
tree, laden with a large assortment of
presents suitable to the occasion. There
We're toys and picture books for the
children, and aprons and stockings and
all kinds Of useful articles for the
grown up people, IN fact there was
something for every one On Christ
mas Eve the school room was well fill
ed with children and their parents and
friends, and after a hearty supper the
children, under the superintendent Of
Miss Bessy CIinch, the School Nj stress,
entertained the people with recitations
and music. The children performed
their part well, there berg no flaw or
mistake throughout, and their training
shows what care and attention Miss
Clinch must have bestowed upon them.
This over the distribution Of presents
took place, and everybody was made
happy. 1t also caused much merri-
ment, some of the single men receiy-
ing somewhat incongruous presents, in
the shape Of dolls, baby socks, etc,
The party dispersed at an early hour,
and every one went away well pleased.
We are glad to notice the doings of
our country cousins. We in town are
somewhat apt to be too much ingross-
ed with our own affairs, and to forget
that we have large and growing pupu
lation in the country around US.
