SANTA cbAuSs VISIT
To a Poor Girl Portrayed blythe Zane Street
Sunday school.

Sunday School.
The annual anniversary entertainment
of the Zane Street NJ. Z. Sunday School,
given at the Opera House last evening,
was a most enjoyable success. In spite
OF the very dlslgreeable weather, the
place was well filled, and those who
braved the discomforts OF the evening
were amply repaid by the pleasure af-
iOrded by the entertainment.
The programme was in two parts. The
first part opened with singing by the
school and audience OF that good old
hymn "0h for thousand tongues to
sing" which was followed by prayer by
the pastor. The balance Of the pro-
gramme was us follows: "Walk in the
Light" school; "Where, o Where"
class OF girls; Doll Show, seven girls !;
Beautiful Stream" school; Recitation
Jamie by request, Lille Statler;
Duette-"Beautiiul Golden Sometime"
Reading -"Gradpa's Courtship;" go
and Gather" school.
The second part OF the programme was
the presentation of the cantata, "Mag-
&c Anterior, or Poor Girls Christ.
mas" The argument OF this pleasing
little musical Christmas picture is about
as follows: Maggie, a little girl poorly
clad, starts out in quest OF u Sunday
School, OF which she is DESTROYS to be-
come II member. She is warmly receiv-
ed and ut once becomes IN object OF
great interest. The Christmas festival
is announced, aud a letter read from
Santa Claus in which he promises to
be present on this occasion. He is de-
tanned byan accident, but telegraphs the
school to await his arrival. His deten-
ton caused great uneasiness and impa-
tience. Mr.. Quick hastily furnished an
entertainment for the amusement OF the
audience. Santa Claus ut last arrives.
Children are delighted, songs are sung
and presents given. Little Maggie is
made very happy by receiving presents
from u number OF the scholars, thus in
culcating spirit OF true charity and
Christian sympathy for the poor and
needy. Santa Claus finally retires, leav-
ing his kindest wishes and parting bene-
diction in the way OF presents for every

INC caste WAS AS follows:


The title role rs taken by Janey DelOe
was remarkably well done and elected
well-deserved recognition. All oil the
other parts were also well sustained and
the cantata was made a feature to be
long remembered. OF course the event
Of the evening, especially for the little
ones, was that part OF the cantata where
Santa Claus arrives. His coming was
uproaronsly greeted, for he not only
had presents for those taking part in
the CIntatN, but the balance OF the
school was not forgotten.
The evenings entertainment, which
was in every respect the most successful
the Zane street school has ever had, was
brought to close by nine little girls
who rccitel Little Toadstools," aud in
doing so babe the audience good night;
the singing oil the Doxology and the
