About 400 people attended the Christmas
exercises at the Congregational church.
After devotional exercises, conducted by the
pastor and superintendent, there were brief
but very pleasant exercises by the primary
classes. Then the cantata, Santa Claus
& Co.." was given by members of the
school. The music of this cantata was
somewhat more difficult than has been
atte mpted in previous years, but it was
rendered in a manner which promises much
for the future supply of musical material in
the school. The choruses displayed a pro.
ficiency which can be obtained only by the
most faithful practice and patient training.
The solo parts were all well taken, especially
those OF Miss Nina Newcomb and Miss
Grace Joslin. These cantatas give much
more than the simple evenings entertain.
ment. An audience must be cold indeed to
resist the influence of the lessons so forcibly
taught, and the value to the children Is
inestimable.
