1t Is the unanimous report of those !
present at the Baptist church on Christ
mas eve that the entertainment given by q

We have had for long time. Not having 81
out one rehearsal much credit is due to I
hose who had part in the tableauX, reci- {
ations, etc The music, both oral and {
was well rendered. The /
most interesting part to the little folks I
vas the coming of Santle down the Chin q
lev and out of the fireplace with his pack {
IN his back and filling some stockings {
lung for that purpose and then taking ]
lis departure the same way after which ]
he presents on the heavily laden tree a
vas distributed to the anxious ones. 1t
5 the desire and prayer of the superin- 9
endent that those who took part and {
hose who witnessed the carrying out Of z
he program may be inmates of that :
ZONE which He whose birthday we cell
abrate has gone TO prepare.
