CHRISTMAS FOR TIE CHILDREN.
Two sunday-Schools Celebrate tho Festi raj
In q Similar Manner.

tendant features was delight to oiC
and young alike at the Lutheran church
on Tuesday night, 26th. The chimney
looked cosy and attractive with the
lighted Christmas candlesticks on either
side-and the polished brass andirons
made it appear just like real chin
ney. Santa Claus never looked more
like his iMmitable sanctity than he did
on this occasion in the person of Mr..
II. A. Mccullough, who got himself up
in fine style as to physique, adornmeni
and the use Of the vernacular. The
fairy captivated everybody. She was
u real fairy, if ever there was one. Hel
sweet little voice was that of fairy,
and with her golden slippers which
carried her from near to distant
countries slippers prettier by far than
the 'goloshes of fortune" that dear old
Hans Christian Andersen tells little
children about-she came upon the
scene 80 quickly and did her paIt 80
elegantly, and was gone, it is no wonder
that the bricks in the chimney, to the
great relief of Santa Claus, were turned
into boxes of candy for the children by
the magic of her wish and her wand.
The fairy was Marguerite, the nine
year old daughter of Mr.. Geo. 3. Gro
mer.
Master Lawson Goggans gave the
audience sermon on bricks, which
was well spoken, and Bessie Schum-
pert extended Christmas greeting in
splendid manner. These parts were
previous TO the appearing Of Santa
Claus and the fairy.
The music and the other service OF
the festival was sour Guiding STAR"
so we'll adapted to Christmas celebra-
tons.
An Offering of S14 50 was, made for
the Sea Island sufferers.
TIE PRESBYTERIAN AY.scEooL.
The members of the Presbyterian
Sabbath-school, together with their pa
rents and invited friends. had a jolly
good time Monday evening in the ar
mory. The exercises were of novel
character, very humorous and enter
tanning. Instead of the usual Xmas
tree, d Christmas chimney" was con-
structed, presumably of real brick, but,
as subsequently appeared, only looked
like brick.
Santa Claus, personated by w. E.
Pelham, is at his last stopping place,
without anything in his bag, having
already distributed his toys, goodies,
etc., throughout all the world, hardly
having enough to 60 around-he is in
dilemma, as good children are before
him, all having assembled expecting
some present from Santa. Luckily,
Fairy Good Cheer, represented by Miss
Jeanne Pelham, had promised Santa 8
year before to come to his aid when
ever desired, It would not matter how
far distant from Santa she might be.
Santa remembers the promise, blows
his golden whistle. when Fairy Good
Cheer appears, and by the useof her
magic wand converts allthe brick COM
posing the chimney into boxes, each Of
which was full of s'good things.n
= Santa dispenses his hospitality by de-
:livering present to each of the chill
dren. The happy denoueneent is, Santa
disappears, wishing all a merry Xmas
and happy New Year.
Music was sweetly disceursed during
the evening by Messrs. Trabert, Cozby,
Wells, Blats and Moon. Everybody
went away, happy, after invoking bless
ings on dear old Santa Claus and
pretty and graceful Fairy Good Cheer.
The Busy Bees, missionary society
Of the A. r. P. Church in Newberry,
gave most delightful and charming
entertainment at. the Armory of the
-Newberry Rifles on Tuesday night of
last week, consisting of tableau, reci-
tation by Miss Annie Pearson, cantata,
and music. It was very pleasant af-
fair and the Busy Bees realized about
S22 90 out of it, which they will put
into their missionary fund.
