The children had been we'll trained by
Miss Thomas and Miss Whitney aud all
the performers rendered their parts
with credit to themselves.
At the close of the program a beauti-
fully decorated Christmas tree was
lighted up and Santa Claus appeared
and distributed his pack of presents. All
the younger members of the school we're
remembered, each receiving some pres
ent and a little colored bag, which con-
tanned an orange and a generous amount
of nice candy.
APTIsT CHURCH
The general subject of the program of
the Christmas exercises at the Baptist
church was "Bethelehem's Babe" The
scripture lesson, "The Word Made
Flesh" as found in Johns gospel, |:
1-18, was read by the pastor. Letters
from Santa Claus we're read by the Sec
Rotary, Mr.. A. R. Avery.

The Little schemer. Myrtle Falkenstein
The pieces were we'll committed and
naturally and interestingly delivered.
The musical portion of the exercises
was equally we'll executed. Miss Emma
Beardsley presided at the organ with
dignity and skill, successfully accom-
panying in the rendition of anthems and
choruses. The choir deserves credit for
the manner it did its part. Instead of San
ia Claus,his deputy, Mr.. Always OnTime,
appeared and took apart the chimney,
composed of Christmas boxes shaped in
the form of bricks, and handed them to
the members of the school. Oranges
and popcorn balls were also presented.
The graceful tree was bright with shin
ing ornaments, and beautiful candles. A
fine effect was given the room by the
graceful bunting decorations and Chi
nese lanterns. The house Was crowded
and many had to stand. Those stand
ing were most patient, and all listened
with marked attention. A little after
9 o'clock the happy company dispersed.
AT HI CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The church was beautifully decorated
for early mass at the Catholic church.
At the loft of the altar and beneath the
image of the virgin Mary was arrangeda
manger. The Manager was constructed
of evergreen boughs and leaves. Before
the altar eight little girls, dressed in
white, with wreaths of flowers on their
llOdSo, hdS1O uuu SduS. LIZ dlUdI was
beautifully decorated, and colored lights
shone profusely around the altar and
produced a beautiful effect. The SER
vices were very impressive, but owing to
the severe weather, the early mass was
not largely attended. Services were held
at $50 and 1890 in the morning and at
S and I o'clock in the evening, according
to Roman Catholic custom.
ST. GEORGES CHURCH.
The Sunday school of st. Georges
church was right royalty entertained
Christmas Eve at the spacious and hos
pitable residence of Mr.. and Mrs. F. v.
Barnes. A very fine spread graced the
tables in the dining room, to which
ample justice was done by generous Da-
kota appetites and everybody present
reported a very good time. All
wished Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
