Christmas eve, at the Congregational
Church was a season of enjoyment to
those there assembled. Songs and re-
citations of an appropriate nature were
exceleutly rendered by the young people ;
but the great feature OF the evening-the
one that had the greatest attraction tor
the children-was the log cabin with its
brick chimney and large fireplace, from
which they expected to see Santa Claus
emerge. Great was the glee OF the little
folks when Santa and two fairy distribu-
tors made their exit from the capacious
mouth of the chimney. Exuberant was
the ioy of those who from Santa received
iust what they above all things desired.

The Christmas Cantata given at the
NJ. E. Church last Saturday evening was
enjoyed by good audience. The Church
was nicely decorated. Our young people
and children did themselves much credit :;
all moved like clock work in carrying out
the program. The singing was excellent,
and Santa Claus, though growing old,
has lost none of his youthful vigor. He
made a good impression upon the au-
dience and bountifuily remembered the
children. The pastor and his wife were
remembered by the presentation of a
beautiful clock and a banquet lamp from
their people. A vote OF thanks was ex-
tended to Mrs. Z. F. Hobson for the
successful management of the Cantata
