with kindest of hearts, and by example
rather than precept enthuse their follow

this time when every selfish desire is graf
lhed. The children of the Sunday school
were invited to the parlors of the Metro
politan hotel to view the tree and bring
gifts for the orphans. The tree was very
large, beautifully lighted and decorated
with the variously appropriate ornaments.
The room was darkened and the children
hied in, being greeted by Santa Claus in
FUR coat, belt of bells, his snowy whiskers
and hair identifying him with the familiar
memory picture OF each child present.

and placed their contributions upon the
laple TO be sent to the nursery.

description, and many toys. The five little

ones.

De long remembered by the happy children.
