school, parents and friends who had
gathered to hear the singing and either
receive or take enjoyment in witnessing
the satisfaction of the little ones as they
we're each given something from the
tree. No presents were distributed ex-
ceDt to members of the school. none be-
ing slighted. Recitations were given
and the singing by the male quartet was
particularly good.
Perhaps the happiest of all occasions
in the city was that held at the Saliva
tion Army barracks, where were gathered
all the needy of the city, of whom the
Savior said "inasmuch as ye have done
1t unto the least of these ye have done it
unto me-" therefore it was not surpris-
ing that all were joyous. The hall
was crowded, and every child or grown
person was the recipient of some gift,
either toy or necessary article of clothing.
A well-chosen program, literary and
musical, was rendered and a general
good time was had.
Another glad time was had when the
mem bers of the Junior League met at
the Methodist church Saturday after
noon, bringing with them children who
it was thought would not be liable to
have any of the Christmas joys of other
homes. Each child had previously
brought presents intended for these, and
were doubly happy in so dong as they
joined in Christmas songs. Their super
intendent, Miss Randall, had arranged
trees, and bags of candy and nuts were
given every child. 1t was a very merry
time for all.
For number of years the Catholic
people have dispensed with midnight
mass, but this year it was resumed
again, when a large crowd attended, and
the singing was unusually good, while
the remainder of the service was appro-
pirate to the occasion.
The mem bers of the Methodist Sunday
school will hold their jubilee on Friday
evening before New Year, the nature oi
which Is to be somewhat mysterious tc
the children.
In contrast to years gone by when al
Christmas tree exercises come would be
laden down and other little ones fail tc
receive any recognition, is the custom sc
general nowadays of making it point
to limit the number of times when one
PERSONS name shall be called, and al
lowing none to go away without carry
ing some gift with them. Then the
blessing which is to be received in Civ
ing is being emphasized more strongly
each year as the little ones are taught to
remember the needy and thus make the
