Christmas day at St. Matthew's church
was much enjoyed by all who attended the
services The music at the morning SER
vice was finely rendered and we'll appreciat-
ed. The choral service in the evening rem
dered by the Rector and Sunday school, was
orderly, chaste and beautiful. The little
ones did their full share in singing the car
OILS and fairly made the large building ring
with the choruses. Every child was re-
membered with a gift from the Christmas
tree and there was long list of names to
be called for. The Sunday school has much
more than doubled in numbers in the last
two years. The choir boys were given
prizes according to their standing and mer-
it and the Rector, on behalf Of the parish
offered gold and silver prize each of the
value Of SIS, for the most diligent boys for
the coming year. Mrs. Thompson received
handsome lamp, gift from the parishion-
ers. The Rector also was surprised by a
present of $25 from friends. St. Matthews
parish grows in strength and prominence
every year and always attracts large num-
bers to the special services. The large
church wa taxed to its utmost capacity at
the evening services.
