Christmas night and the soft radiance of the gas
light diffused itself over beautiful scene. Christ
mas. while day of devout thankfulness and
christian gratitude among the followers of Him
in whose honor it is commemorated, is also
time of merry making and rejoicing, when the
heart is glad and happy in the pure unselishness
of kindly greeting and gift making. All the high
sentiments and inspiring cheer of Christmas and
the holiday season were embodied in the eve-
nings program. which was thoroughly apprecl
| ated and enjoyed by the large audience. who
joined heartily in the spirit of each participant
The exercises consisted of frecitations and music
| and the distribution of presents from the large
| and beautiful Christmas tree. whose boughs
dropped with the weight of St. Nick's munifcence
The entire program moved along smoothly and
without mistake or interruption. rejecting the
highest credit on the managers and participants.

Christmas at the Churches.

The handsome audit rum of the Congfega- |
tional Church was crowded Christmas eve, The
exercises were of very pleasing character, well
prepared and well delivered. Each year the |
entertainments at this church seem to increase in
excellence. and those having the program in
charge must have felt highly gratifed at the
successful performance of each participant. The
stage was spanned with an evergreen arch crown
ed with the Star of Bethlehem" over the CEN
ter. It was work of skill and beauty. On the
stage were seen a large cross and the " manger of
Bethlehem" Among the particularly
noteworthy was the one at the manger of Beth
lehsm, where the Virgin Mother and her attend
ants and the Mag were tableaued with fine effect.
Offerings to Widow Gray" participated in by
seven boys and the primary and intermediate
departments. followed By the appearance OF
Widow Gray and her children, happy ii"
lustration of Christmas charity, The scene rep
resented generous band of young children who
had resolved to increase their own happiness by
contributing to that of poor Widow Gray. This
| number was particularly appropriate to the oc-
casion, for it was not intended that the children
and members of the school should derive the en-
| tire benefits of the evenings cheer. The poor of
Ravenna were rememb, red by those having the
celebration in charge. and in response to the in
vitation previously given. many who attended
brought with them contributions for those whose
worldly possessions are barely sufficient to keep
the wolf from the door. As result 81 60 in cash
and large amount of clothing and provisions
were collected for this fund. The participants in
| the act named above marched to the lecture
| room, and each taking one or more of the offer
ings returned and deposited the articles on the
stage, Christmas greeting to Widow Gray.
The tableau scene of the cross was received
with high favor and was considered very superior
among the evenings presentations. The choll
furnished some very acceptable music. and two
organ solos by DR.. C. H. Griffin were models o.
exquisite rendition. Santa Claus was THE char
acter of the evening, and the generous old fellow
not only made glad the hearts of the children by
his liberal and kindly remcmbrances, but createc
great Ievity.among them well. At the close o
the evenings entertainm ent collection amount
ing to 1912 was taken for Grand View Norma
Institute.

The Universalists made preparation for the
annual reception of Santa Claus. who must have
been considerably surprised at being made the
recipient of upwards cf $40 from those assembled
to welcome his coming. He recovered himself,
however. sufficiently to acknowledge his appre-
citation of the gift and present to each member OF
the Sunday School bunch of sweetness" The
music and reeitations were of such exceptional
merit that the old Saint felt constrained to tarry
until the close of the evenings entertainment
He was so delighted with the conduct of the boy;
and girls that in an impulse of extra generosity
he turned over to the furnishing fund of the
new church the entire amount presented.

Oakwood Chapel Sunday School, with an en-
rollment of S3 names on its books, again COM
memorated the return of Christmas. Friday eve
ming was selected as the time of celebration and
the little chapel was literally filled to overflow
ing. Among the Christmas celebrations none
were more pleasing or more thoroughly enjoyed
than the 0akwood festivities. A Christmas tree
bore rich fruit for the children. and many a
young heart was gladdened by the remembrance
of the scenes of that evening. An excellent pro-
gram of music was we'll rendered, and every thing
passed off as nicely as could be desired.

The Preachers Big Contract.
From the Neu York World


The Massachusetts, preacher who has I'M
dertaken to break up the kissing games"
such as Copenhagen" ETC., in his parish,
is evidently person who is not dis,nayed
at a job that involves a big lot of hard
work. We infer that he is a man accus-
toned to toll, and plenty of it. He reports
that, so far. his reformatory movement is
meeting with much success, and the pros
poets of ultimate triumph are very bright
This may be true, but it is easier to believe
that the preacher is the victim
of defective information. There NAV
be lull in the kissing business, but we feel
quite sure it is only temporary. The
preacher has only to watch and wait to see
it break forth with renewed energy, not to
say increased fury. There are features
about Copenhagen" and other games
which the preacher has placed ON the re-
stricted list, which makes them extremely
popular. They seem TO fill q long-felt want.
as we may say. We understand there is no
popular craze for them in Boston, but in
North Dighton, where this preacher happens
to be located, you can see with safety that
they are all the go. The pretty girls Of
North DighJon and surrounding country
may be largely responsible for this, but be
this as it may, Copenhagen" is not going
to be easily wiped out The preacher says,
quite innocently for man who is SO years
of age, that when he attempted TO put a
stop to the games, he found himself treading
on unpopular ground" Well, rather If
the dominic had been out on a special hunt
for plot of unpopular ground to tread on
he could not have made a more judicious
selection.

A New Method of Stealing Chickens.

A New Method of Stealing Chickens.
NeW London Comm Special to Nel0 York Sun.
In Waterford chicken thieves hit upon a
new method Of depicting poultry yards with
much success j. b. Palmer, of Granite
vile, is the heaviest loser, and to him the
discovery of the scheme is due. When he
entered his poultry yard last week he found
one of his chickens apparently suffocating.
Closer examination revealed him about a
dozen yards of fish-line trailing from the
chickens beak. Then it dawned upon Mr..
Palmer that some one had been fishing for
the chickens on his premises The thieves
method was to bait fish-line with worm,
drop it conveniently near the poultry, and
when the worm was swallowed it was al
easy matter to capture the chicken without
difficulty. As the farmers allow their fowl
10 roam freely about their premises and into
adjacent fields the thieves do not lack OPP
portunity TO reap harvest. Mr.. Palmer's
discovery, however, may cause the farmers
20 be more careful in the future.
