ClaUS 10 lDe CullQIeu OI tue SIuOOl
connected with that church: was an
evidence of the appreciation of the
efforts of those under whose guidance
and instruction the success Of the
entertainment was usted, and
the happy manner, pleasing looks and
smiling faces with which the audi
ence received each Of different parts
of the program attested to the sue
cess of the evenings pleasure and
amusement and must have been very
gratifying to the officers, teachers
and scholars of the school.
The church was very tastefully
and appropriately decorated with
evergreens and flowers symbolic Of
the everlasting life OF him whose
birth day was being celebrated. In
the rear of the pulpit the eye was
greeted by the motto Joyous lid
ings. In the certce Ct the nj Idle aisle
stood the chimeny, made of boxes
representing bricks, filed with choice
candy, and down the hue of which
dear old Santa Claus was to make
his appearance at the proper time
and whose advent was joyfully looked
for by the children with faces beam
ing with happiness. From the man
tlepiece of the chimney hung stock
ings whose capacious mouths gaped
wide toreceive the gifts the3ri nd Of
children. On either side of the
chimney were planted cedar trees
beautifully lit up with candles and
brilliant with sparkling ornaments.
The singing was grand and the Sc
lections happy. The sclos were rem
der4d in a manner as to call forth
the praise and ap2reciat o | of the au-
di9nve NJ S. T. B. Roof, git I'd lady
with rare musical talents of high
order, had charge OF this feature Of
the program, anditis toher skill, per-
severance and instruction that the
audience were indebted for the &c
lightful music furnished for the oc-
casicn.
The remarks Of the pastor, Rev.
J. G. Graichen, were timely, apprt-
pirate and instructive, furnishing food
for thought.
The pantomime of the Night Be
fore Christmas, by Miss Z. O. Leop-
ard and Mrs. Scottie Harman, was
rue to life and was the source of
much merriment. Miss Rosa Har-
mans recitation on the same subject,
was delivered with ease and grace.
Mr.. S. O.. Hammer, representing
Santa Claus, sustained his part IN
hisovn peculiar and i :imitable style.
Miss Eloise Hammers calling
Santa Claus back to tear down the
chimney, was indeed fine.
The distribution of the bricks and
other gifts was fairly and impalt TALLY
done aud gave entire satisfaction.
The march of the children to receive
them was beautiful and pleasing
picture.
Mrs. Graichen spared no time nor
pains to impart to the children that
ease of manner, grace of move
ment and precision Of step which so
largely contributed to the success OF
the evening.
Mr.. James E. Hendrix is the be
loved Superintendent of this school.
We have exhausted every means to
obtain a program of the evening, but
have failed and the above was writ
ten from memory.
