the church for short service, con-

collects. The Rev. Charles Booth
was present, having come up in
the morning. He delivered short
address to those assembled stating
why this day was chosen instead
of Christmas day. He was unable
to be with us on Christmas day on
account of his services at Newport,
and therefore chose this day (Holy
lnnocents) as very fitting one for
the occasion, as it is a day especially
suited to children. The singing
was heartily rendered aud the SER
vices was enjoyed by all. After
the service the children and teach
ers repaired to the residence of
Judge Carson, superintendent OF
the Sunday school, where the de-
lighted children beheld the King
of the woodland scene, the Christ
mas tree. Its branches were
weighted down with neat and pretty
gifts for all. Games were played
by the children in the spacious
grounds belonging to the house
and were heartily enjoyed by them.
After the games a dainty lunch was
served by the ladies, consisting Of
cake; fruit, candy and nuts, pro-
vided by friends After spending
a very pleasant time the children
left with many expressions show
ing their appreciation of the good
time they had had,
