Christmas day was great event yester-
day for the children of the members of
the Harugari society. Not only were they
rendered at home by their parents indi-
vidually, but the club also took the mat
ter in hand to give them all a treat in the
afternoon. All the morning long willing
hands were busy in decorating in the So
ciety's rooms in Lamar block with the
Christmas green's and the erecting of the
tall Christmas tree on the stage at the end
of the hall. The tree, resplend-
emit with glittering effects, was a
work of art and caused many ex-
CARNATIONS of delight from the little ones
as they arrived. AS the children came in
each went up to q table to draw a ticket,
red ones for the boys and yellow for the
girls. The presents were distributed by
tickets, and thus no Partially was shown

There were fully 300 children present,

carriages. The exercises were intended to
begin at 3 o'clock but it was an hour or
more later before the final preparations
were completed. A Christmas carol

first number of the program, and admir-
ably rendered. A grand march by the

justed, and that goodness shall triumph |
over evil. We can defend the right with
stout heart and men can endure even the |
fires of martyrdom with tranquil fortitude
In one of the Psalms for this days ser
vice we read that mercy and truth are met
together; righteousness and peace have
kissed each other. We do not
stand upon the conception of bare,
abstract Justice, though it be the
ruleth over all is the personal source of all
righteousness. We look at the revelation
| of the Son of God in whom personally
mercy and truth are as one. The Christ
ian nations with all their evils and their
/ want Of righteousness, with their i'll ad-
i justments of the social and public rela-
tiens of their citizens to each other do,
nevertheless, in some sort and measure
respond to the call of the Psalmist. They
heart goes forth towards the incarnate
Son of God, who is the brightness of the
fathers glory and the express image of his
person God speaks his righteousness in
| his son, as he had never proclaimed 1t be-
fore. The element of love is the argu-
ment he employs to draw us unto himself
so that he may expel from us every evil de-
mon which would rend and destroy. The
words are the words of our brothee. he
| DegS us to accept anO receive the lOVo VI
the father and to delight in it always.
Under the power of this persuasive, this
. argument of the heart, in the light, too,
of the history of Jesus Christ, even the
old Hebrew Psalm is TRANSPORTED. And
, when the nations are called upon to re-
joice and be glad because the Lord shall
Judge the people righteously, we think al
once of the universal scope of Gods grace
and of the message of the Son of God tc
/: mankind The service to which we are in
vited is service which makes God dear tc
!. us and man also. The God whom VIZ
worship is God whose compassionate
care embraces humanity, and our devotion
, to the father takes on at last the form o.
, charity for the children of God. Such il
, the high form the best piety takes becaus
! the word was made flesh and dwelt among
us.
Born of q woman, Graded in amanger
! bred indeed under sweet influences, bu
nourished by the power of 4
never absent God, Jesus Chris
, in blessing man has laugh
, men to bless each other, and in SO doing t.
!, rejoice in God, whose name is glorifed il
their salvation When you 60 to tranquil
contented homes, after this hour passed il
, the house of God, learn how much Chris
has done for you; and resolve to go fort
into the world to do more for him thai
!. you have ever done before. In this wa
! you can promote the reign of God in right
eousness and help to swell the anthem o
; praise and thanksgiving unto our kin
: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom

CHILDREN IN FANCY DRESS.

Harmonic society Give a Pleasing
Entertainment Yesterday.
About the most interesting and pic
turesque of the many events that occurred
in this city yesterday was the fancy dress
entertainment given in the afternoon to
the little children of the members of Har-
monte society. Their handsome club house
on Elm street was handsomely decorated
and arrayed in brightest colors. A Christ
mas tree in one of the rooms loaded with
pleasing souvenirs of the event formed a
leading attraction. But the dancing which
followed was perhaps enjoyed by the little
folk even more. A pretty sight they made,
too, all in different costumes of a fancy
nature, some gypsies, kings, queens, pages,
flower girls, all mingled in together. There
were number of fancy dances, Scotch
and Spanish dance being included There
were about 100 of the children present.
They were treated afterwards to light re-
freshnents of cakes, cream, etc.
There were a number present from New
York and Boston, who have been visiting
in this city during the holidays. The
affair was prepared and conducted by the
regular entertainment committee Of the
society, consisting of Max Strauss, chair
man, Israel Wolf, Charles Well and Max
Adler.
On the evening of January 2 the society
will give grand ball in Warner hall.

.ArRn AmorG THE SKATERS

-
About Five Hundred spend the Nay
Upon the Ice at Lake whitney and
Three Hundred at Dfckerman,s
Pond several Hundred At HEM
fngway,s.
It is many years since we have had such
fine skating on Christmas day az that Of
yesterday. Jack Frost fairly outdid him
self in his endeayors to provide merry
Christmas for the many lovers of this ex
.hilarating sport, and the result was that
lakes and ponds were covered with man
tie of from six to ten inches thickness of
beautiful crystal ice. Lake Whitney was
the best patronized Of the adjacent ponds
and throughout the entire day Whitney
avenue was an interesting throughfare
for the young folks going to and fro. Up
on the ice the scene was indeed pictur-
esque. As far as the eye could reach
could be seen the happy skaters gliding
quickly from one spot to another. Here
and there the youngsters were having q
| boisterous game of hockey, their shouts
occasionally relieved by the scream Of
| some fair maiden who had endangered her
equilibrium by getting mixed up with the
eXclted polO16tS.
The roadside was blockaded with car.
riages and coaches in which were seated
the fathers and mothers of the young PEG
pie, watching the gay scene with evident
interest. The big stack of bicycles beside
the buildings attested the popularity o.
skating among the wheelmen. Among thu
many noticed on or about the lake were
Miss May How'd, Miss Addie Ely, Mis-
Grace North, Miss Alice. Fitch, Henry
Trowbridge and daughter, DIR. w. a
Carmalt and family, Samuel Punderson
Miss Gertie Hoyt Miss Margaret Pea
body, Henry Hooker, the Misses Trow
bridge of Orange street, Miss Gerti'
Percy, Miss Holcomb, Miss Annie Russell
/ the Misses Morse, Mrs Molly Bryan, E. F
Harper, F. S. Phelps, Harry Parmelee, J
@. Whitney and hundreds Of others.
At Hemingway's pond in Fair Haver
| about 200 were taking advantage of til,
fine skating and beautiful weather, ani
although the wind blew across the ic'
with sharp, penetrating gusts, it did no
succeed in diminishing the ardor Of tn
participants. Among the skaters wer,
Miss Emma McDonelly, the Misses Girls
void, Miss Hattie Maltby, the Misse
Rowe, Miss Hemingway, Miss Lila Wells
Miss Kittie Scranton and many others
some of whom came from distant parts o
