A Christmas tree in the Old Church
attracted a happy audience Monday
evening, and the occasion was joyous
one to all present, and especially to the
children as they gazed upon the treas
ures hanging among the sparkling ever
greene, that were soon to come to them.
They could scarcely wait while the choir
sang "Wske the song of Jubilee" and
DR.. Jennings, the superintendent, read
the Christmas chapter, and Mr.. Sever
ance spoke; first, in reference to the
day and its significance in bringing to
us all, Gods best gift to man, the Child
of Bethlehem, and then in refeI ence 10
the beautiful gift to the church, the
chandelier and other lamps. from the
late Mrs, Frost, and the faithful labors
of Capt. Joseph Frost in so carrying out
her wishes in arranging everything 80
as to produce the best results The ad,
dress was very appropriate and voiced
the sentiments of every one interested
in the Cd Church. Kind friends had
trimmed the church with evergreen and
the effect when the lamps were lighted
was simply grand, and the church has
not looked so finely, since the great
Centennial. But the children could not
be restrained much longer, and after
Tat" S bley had stepped in front of the
tree and recited the Night Before
Christmas" the distribution of the gifts
began, and "jny was unconfined' and
broke out in oh and oh !! and other ex
cl lmatiJns of delight. until all were
kindly remembered and ready to goI
home happy, which they did after the
choir sang the anthem, Peace on Ear h
good will towards men," The surprise
of the evening was the presenta' ion to
Mrs. Maggie Robinson of an elegant
silver tea service consisting of Elk pieces
on beautiful sllveI, a gift to her from
of the church and society, in
token of their appreciation of her faith
full services for 80 many years IN the
cause of scored song. She could not
speak her thanks then, but she is never
theIess very grateful to tfO'e who so
kindly originated the idea and to those
who carried it out in so lovely mann r.
