The parlors of the Unitarian church were
the scene last evening of very unique and
highly entertaining distribution of Christ
mas gifts among the young people. A
splendid representation of a windmill with
Bro wines taking their grists in sacks to
grind the contents of the sacks being
turned into the hopper by the miller and
ground out as presents to the bewildered
admiration of the younger recipients. The
whole effect was pleasing in the extreme.
Following this the children INDUCED in
games and a delightful evening for all was
afforded.
The Christmas festival at the vestry
OF the Free Baptist church was largely
attended. In the farther end of the vestry
as one enters were the two Christmas trees
bent low with their weight of Christmas
delights and lighted up by festoons of
Japanese lanterns. Aside from this feature
of the entertainment were musical select
ions by the choir. solos BY Mrs. Gilbert,
a Duet by Mrs Gilbert and Allen and reci-
tations. The evening was one of rare en-
joyment for all who participated.

DEAR Suw.-In your issue of today YOU
rerort me as saying yesterday morning that
Jesus as not devine, He was human in
the true sense of that word divine. in that
he was trne where we often are false was
firm where we fail To correctly represent
what said this sentence should read,
Jesus was not only divine. he was also hu-
man in the true sense of that word, divine
in that he was true, where we often are
false. was firm where we fail
understand, of course, how easy in
