societies both appropriately celebrated
birth of the Savior. At the latter a
large Christmas tree laden with sweets
and presents and adorned with count
less ornaments and lights kept the
little ones in suspense while the pro-
gram was being rendered. The pro-
gram consisted of songs, recitations
and dialogues and Was very enjoyable,
the little ones doing their parts to
perfection. At the conclusion Santa
Claus took Il hand in the matter and
distributed the candies and gifts.
The Congregational people pursued
different course in caring for their
little ones. The plan was unique.
Tables were spread at G.. A. r. hall
loaded with cakes, candies, fruits, ETC.,
and after a short program the little
ones were seated and the adults enter
tanned them. After their little hearts
were satisfied with goodies the pres
ents were distributed and the gather
ing dispersed.
