to make the day pleasant one
among the unfortunate inmates. The

lives over the event, and their 'bOnes
will never rise again. The inmates
enjoyed the treat to their hearts
content. A Christmas tree was had
also and number of presents dis
tributed. The occasion was of a ma
ture that deserves considerable
praise.

work of distributing presents among
the Sunday school children was
commenced and the evening passed
off to the delight of all present.
